All Aboard!!!

I got completely caught up on our blogging so I could put the cruise picts up right away.  Well that didn't work out very well.  I'm only getting a few done before the month ends.  Oh well. 

We're on the bus and ready to get to the ship:

There she is!!!

We're almost there!!

Map of the ship:

We couldn't get into our room yet, so we went up and toured Justin and Tammy's pimpin' room.  They were in a private area called the Haven:

Ship schedule day 1 - we didn't do much on this list, but each day I would mark the things we might be interested in doing:

On Our Way!

At the airport waiting for our 12am flight.  Panda and Denny are ready to go!!:

Flying first class!:

Ready to go!  Let's get this bird off the ground!

Doug had leg room in first class :)  :

Landed in Texas to pick up Justin and Tammy and head out to Florida. 

No flight delays despite the hurricane. 

 Trying to watch the sun rise from the airplane, but we took off and turned the opposite way:

Justin works down there:

You can plug anything into these seats on the airplane!:

We got all our luggage, time to head to the hotel.  Side story:  the flight attendant put Justin's garment bag with his suits in their closet and it was left on the plane!!  Thank goodness they pulled it off the plane and put it in lost luggage.  It was a very stressful (especially for Justin) hour or so until he could retrieve the bag.

Sharing a room with Justin and Tammy for the night:

Look at the insane wind we had to deal with!! HAHA  Not really.  Doug did a good job making it look windy:

We went for Cuban food for lunch.  It was called Versailles.  It was pretty good!:

Jason had to reroute his flights to get around the hurricane, so it took him all day to get to Miami.  When he got there we all went to an Irish Pub up the street from the hotel.  This is the owners son; he was pretty drunk and super talkative and nice.  He was telling Justin and Tammy they'll regret not having kids.... he has no idea who he's talking to! LOL

Mom's mouth was on fire from the chicken wing, so they brought her a Flintstone's size water to drink:

The first of many fun evenings:
