Land Ho!!

Sadly, we are back on land.. we docked at Ft Lauderdale early this morning and disembarked at about 9:00am. We had no problems leaving the ship, caught our shuttle with no problem and left our luggage at the hotel until we could check in around 2:00pm. we decided to take a taxi to the local mall and check it out, so off we went to the galleria mall. Then it started RAINING!

OMG it can rain in south Florida!! We finally took a taxi back to the hotel and got into our room. I guess the new cruisers have now left Ft Lauderdale enroute to the bahamas, at least they didnt have to leave in 30 degree temperatures.

The ship never rests. The crews on the ship do a 7 on and 7 off schedule so they get a chance to rest. What fun jobs these young men and women have. we noticed that the majority of our crew were from south american countries, we met people from India (Naresh our cabin boy was Indian) Hungary, South Africa, Peru, Philippines, and other places that I cant remember. They all loved their jobs and were very happy and content.

They do have a medical clinic on board, it is open limited hours and you wait until they are able to see you. hmmmmm wouldnt that be a novel idea for an emergency room? LOLOL

ok back to freezing Colorado tomorrow. I hear snow is predicted all week. I have a little tan to show off so, not bad considering all of the bad weather we had.

Back to work on Tuesday.. ARRRGGGGGG!
