Day 3 - GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!

So we have been burning the candle from both ends the past two day, but with only 3 hours of sleep I jump up and head out to the water front to see the ships sail in.

Not much traffic on the roads.

 

Here's what I look like after only 10 hours of sleep in the last 2 days.  Not Too Bad I Have To Say!

While at Gators for dinner I noted that their parking lot was the perfect place to watch sail in. 

 

Disney was first to enter the harbor

 

Next was Carnival

 

Then there was the Sun!

There were two more ships entering the harbor (Carnival and Royal) but after the Sun passed I repositioned down to the public park across from the port for my next task.

I uses these sites to track the ships as the came into port.

After a triple check of my fly zone and waiting for the sun to rise it was time to go Up-Up-And-Away!

As you can see the port is right on the edge of the restricted areas. Our excursion the night before was all in the restricted area so " Droney" has to stay in his case.

With that out of the way I headed back towards the hotel.  Folks were already up and at em.  It was a Monday, so I am to assume these people were headed to work versus staging in the port at this hour.

We were 1 block from the beach so I decided to check that out before I went to summon the dead in the room.

The surf was rather turbid from my other encounters at east coast beaches.  After some thought, I remembered that these currents were being generated from Lorenzo even though he was half an ocean away.

[lcookie]

 After a short stay absorbing the ocean breeze I went to the room to officially get our day started.  We got checked out and then  went into the surf shop connected to the hotel to see if we could find something worth using our discount coupons on.  Did not find anything but the fish tank was nice.

Our home for 10 hours.

 

It's starting to get real but she still has no clue!

 

First ship sighting.

 

Helicopter tour I plan to take next time I am in town!

Little one accepting her fate that there will be no cruise this fall!

 

 

She took it in stride.  "Hey, we still have 7 random beaches around Florida to check out this week!"

Now comes the time to let the cat out of the bag.

 

Here sulking as we prepare to pull away from the harbor.

 

We let the cat out of the bag!

 

Her contemplating if this is another one of Daddy's Pranks???

Hello followers.  I am back.  Sorry for the long gap but between work, not feeling well, and other family obligations my free time has come at a premium. 

 

Another thing slowing me down is the time it takes to rip pictures from videos.  When I first started all I took were pictures.  Now I find myself taking more videos.  Exporting clean pics from the videos can be somewhat tricky.

 

Regardless here I am.
