Just in case you are wondering, we weren't alone....

 

Meet the cruise ship conga line

 

We are the orange in the circle... being followed by a Disney ship, 4 Carnival ships, and an unknown cruise line (it said I just never heard of them).

 

Sara & I in our ships....

How did you pull these up??  I’m interested in our days at sea when we see other ships who they are...

Our very last night together.... what do you think we did???

 

We got A LOT of OJ and drank that crap they call sparkling wine.  It was more of a cross between Boones farm and Zima.  The OJ made it drinkable.

Look!!!  We're on the Mississippi!!!

Sunrise over NOLA!!!!

[Shoppie124]

Remember that form I was told to fill out... guess what arrived at midnight....

 

Yep tickets to bring us back to Miami on a charter plane... too bad I already booked with Southwest out of NOLA

[Shoppie124]

We had breakfast in the Haven.

 

No food porn...

Doug & I had an eggs

Sara...say it with me Poe TA Toes - triple order!!!

[Shoppie124]

I was feeling bad for Sara - all of her friends parents were posting the first day of school pictures... So I posted her first day of school pics... I never said she went to school!🤣

[Shoppie124]

NCL hired motor coaches to bring us to the airport...

[Shoppie124]

We arrived at the NOLA airport at 10:30 am local time... Our flight.. 4PM...

 

Southwest wouldn't take our checked luggage until Noon...

 

Off for some second breakfast...

[Shoppie124]

It's finally noon!  We can go through security... Sara gets popped for lotion and Doug for shaving cream...  This is what happens when I let them help pack...

 

Inside security...it's Hurricane time!!!  Again, too soon???🤣

[erdoran]

Shoppie, what was that cool-looking drink on this page that Davidette made you, with dragonfruit on the rim?  I might have to try it!

[Shoppie124]

We finally board our flight...

 

The plane was lit up red...like a horror movie...

 

Sara wasn't having it!

@Shoppie124 I just have to say I enjoyed your review it kept me smiling the whole time even though I know it must have been so stressful at times.

I think it was called a royal flush

 

It was dragonfruit, gin, vodka, rum.  It was not very sweet..super refreshing!!!

 

Make sure when you see her... Tell her the lovebirds want water....  She always told Doug water was an upcharge!!!🤣

I’m going to be on the Bliss, but I’ll ask for that drink anyway...thanks!  Royal flush it is - sounds potent!

No more than two Hurricanes!!!

[Shoppie124]

So at this point... you'd think my trip report is done...

 

WRONG!!!!!

[Shoppie124]

On the way to Baltimore...

 

Someone got busted smoking in the bathroom...

And they announced...Is there a medical professional aboard???

 

I'm serious... I couldn't make up a story this good...

 

Thankfully, we landed in Baltimore the person with the medical issues was ok and the smoker is lucky to not have gotten arrested.

[Shoppie124]

While waiting in Baltimore for our flight to Buffalo the following happens:

 

1. My phone rings.. Hi the is Jim from (insert company name) travel agency.  I'd like to talk to you about your future travel plans....

 

I proceed to tell him, I was just held captive on a cruise ship and I wasn't making any further travel plans...

[Shoppie124]

2. This happens....

 

Paul Revere starts ringing a bell... It's an Honor Flight!!!
