PCWalton1 Posted March 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2013 By the end of our Radiance Hawaii cruise back in September I swore I was not going to do another live blog. Fast forward about 5 months and for the life of me I can't remember why I didn't want to do another one. :o So here we go, leaving the chill and wet of Seattle to the heat and sun of Florida and Mexico. We have been watching the weather and loving the sight of 80 plus degrees down there, almost double our temps in the pacific northwest. But then a fun thing started to happen, the temperatures began to converge. The closer we get to the cruise the lower the temps are getting in Florida and the higher they are getting here in Seattle. They look to be doing a complete reversal this weekend as it will be 60 here in Seattle on Friday and 59 in Tampa for sail away on Saturday :eek: Oh well, a cruise is a cruise is a cruise. And as long as I am on a cruise I am a happy camper. So tomorrow after work we will be heading to the airport and will begin to wing our way to Tampa and paradise. :D Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted March 1, 2013 Author #2 Share Posted March 1, 2013 This picture is small but that is what they look like when uploaded through Tapatalk. I will be using that app at times to upload pictures. Once a day I will try to get online with the netbook for a daily wrap up. As you can see the bags are just about packed. We had planned to pack light as we were heading to hot weather and no need for too heavy of clothing. :rolleyes: Oh well, now we are packing for both types of weather. :p Sent from my Droid RAZR M using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckiStac13*Majesty* Posted March 1, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Have a great cruise! I missed mine this week on Indy, I got sick in Ft. Lauderdale and couldn't board, so I'll live vicariously through you! You have a pretty good Caribbean band onboard with you, Rhythm Explosion. Have fun!

PCWalton1 Posted March 2, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Our luggage is looking lonely. Another three hours and we are off to the airport and they will get the chance to gather for a while with their luggage brethren. :D Sent from my Droid RAZR M using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
