The fun of traveling standby

So we're off on another cruise, this one is out of Miami. Weather was wreaking havoc in Atlanta, delaying our flight by 2 and 1/2 hours, but it also delayed the flight to Ft Lauderdale, so after a mad dash through ATL, and no train because terminal B was under repair, we made it to the next gate in under 1/2 an hour.... Whew! Off for another adventure!

Shipshewana, IN

Today we went to the Amish town of Shipshewana. It always seems odd to see horse drawn black buggies driving along the streets with all the cars and trucks. The town has a small central area that is full of shops. You could buy a quilt in any color of the rainbow, and some of them do have all the colors. They are kind of pricey, but if you think about how much energy it must take to make such an intricate work of art without electricity, can be just mind boggling. Furniture is another big one here, but it won't fit under the seat on the airplane. Today was Len's 70th birthday. Happy birthday Len! It's hard to believe I have a 70 year old brother! Well, we're leaving tomorrow, so it's off to bed....

Oasis of the Seas

Yes, we are on vacation again.   This is day 2 of a week long cruise around the Caribbean.  Today was an "at sea" day, so for me that meant a lot of sleeping.  There are a lot of pools on this ship, but we couldn't find any shade, I can't spend more than a few minutes in the sun without hearing my skin start to sizzle.  We went to a midnight comedy show, and it was extremely funny..... The first headliner's luggage got lost, and of course he was on the big D..... His favorite line.... What does delta stand for? Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive.  You have to admit, it is kind of catchy.  Tomorrow we go to Haiti, that could be interesting.  They say there is a very large fence between RC's property and the island itself...... Hmmmmm.  Time to go to sleep 1:34am......

So, this is 50

It doesn't feel any different. I took inventory, and I don't see any extra gray hair or any new aches and pains. Same old gray hair, and same old aches and pains, but nothing new. Yesterday we spent the day on 7 mile beach in Grand Cayman. $4 each one way and we were dropped at the beach. Another $2 each to get into the same stretch of sand that everyone from all the cruise ships are hanging out on. Not for me. We walked through and then walked about a mile up the sand to a shady spot under a tree. Ahhhh, much better. The water was a little chilly until you got used to it, or numb, but after that, floating around was beautiful. We spent a couple of hours there, then walked back to where we came in, rinsed our feet, used their bathrooms and took another $4 each taxi ride back to the port. Not a bad day for February 1st! Today we are in Jamaica. We have not ventured out yet, but we will soon. Hopefully I can find wifi again and post this.... maybe I'll even add so...
