Daddy's been gone for almost 19 years and I have silly and fun memories of him -- but more childhood ones and early adulthood... Howard's been gone for almost 9 years and I have great memories of our marriage and life together. But I love creating these memories with Nana... They are later in both of our lives and at a point where I have kind of become a Mommie to her... and we're having such FUN FUN FUN!!! Thank you!!!

 

What a great attitude to have! I dread the day when I start losing my loved ones and hope to have the same outlook as yours.

Lambie, the pictures are great! It was great to see Nana and yourself most mornings at the "Situation Room". It was a great cruise! 2nd Halloween cruise I have been fortunate enough to be able to do and they are so much fun. Be sure to snag my costume pictures when you get to that part. :)

After my walk-about of Deck 5... don't forget, the ship is about three football fields long... I felt good about getting some exercise, today. Now, I'll feel good about some eating, too!!! Dinner will be soon. But first, let's do some more walking around the decks and looking at the island and the scenery!

 

Checking the TV to see how it looks while we're in port, it tells me we're here. I like this, because it reminds me which side of the island we're on, and where we are is perspective to home, Texas...

Here's what the compass on Deck 9 says...

And looking at other things on the deck, please some tell what this is???

 

232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv534%3C%3Dot%3E333%3A%3D728%3D325%3DXROQDF%3E279%3C948326258ot1lsi

 

What is Technical Water??? I know purified water, and distilled water, and tap water, and sea water... But...

 

232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv3%3A63%3Dot%3E333%3A%3D728%3D325%3DXROQDF%3E279%3C942%3A4%3B258ot1lsi

 

Going outside, let me snap a pictures in our window... I have a special Tshirt, that I travel with, in honor of a friend. A young man, a high school student who is fighting cancer in Houston. "Team Tim" is his support network... and everywhere we go, he goes with us!!! So here's Team Tim in Jamaica!!!

Because the Eurodam was also in port, our departure was delayed. We let her depart first. We we scheduled to leave at 5:30 -- which would be just before our early seating dinner, but now the Captain says we'll leave about 7pm -- which will be in the middle of dinner.

 

 

I enjoy watching us leave a port, sailing away and land getting farther and farther in the distance. But, I'd miss that today... but maybe, just maybe I'd see a sunset! I think, that's what I miss most about early seating dinners, the sunsets.

I don't know how well it comes across in the photos, but there are "rainbow-refractions" in the clouds!!! Jamaica... of course, what better place!! I'm thinking, "I sober and straight. Yet I look in the sky and see rainbows. This must be Jamaica!!!"

After dinner, we sightsee a bit on the way back "home."

You can see, we're not to far from Jamaica...

Thanks for the Lanai tour!

 

You're very welcome. Thank you for reading and being patient as I'm taking too much darned time getting this written. I'm fighting with Windows8, something I don't understand and am positively NOT used to or liking... :mad: and fighting with Cruise Critic's limit of how many photos can go into one post...

 

I know, excuses and more excuse... :o

Thank you!! I sometimes have to paste a smile on my face, and laugh a few times at myself, to get me through a day...

 

But you know... Life is what it is. And our memories and our "footprint" is what life was. I always pray that what I see behind me, what others see when they think of me, will be Happiness.

 

We all have tough roads to hoe. We all have our ups and downs. I pray that your ups are just Heavenly... and your downs are when you have a helping hand to reach for, and a dream to hang on to, and comfort in knowing -- there is always Happiness in your future, somewhere!!!

THANK YOU... In this review, tomorrow is HALLOWEEN, and I'll need some photos!

 

It was great to cruise with you, and seeing you each morning, sitting and relaxing and chatting, and being silly... made the cruise even better!!!

I am an IT guru and I avoid Win8 like the plague! Sorry you are stuck with it but hopefully Microsoft will resolve some of the biggest complaints soon.

 

Final thought: For a tablet / mini-pc / touchscreen Win 8 is great. But the interface is junk for a regular computer user.

You're right... and I don't have a touch screen. I think it would be great with that!

 

I saw a Windows8.1 update when I logged on this morning and have put off updating worried that they will make it worse... :confused:

OK... It's HALLOWEEN!!! And, I've grabbed some photos of costumes from others and even though the costumes didn't come out till the evening and night -- let me just post some of the photos, just random photos of the ship's decorations... the pumpkin carving... and the guests, partying and having a BLAST on Halloween night!!!
