We have taken another cruise. Ernie really likes this as a vacation. The sleeping, food and the best no driving or flying.
We gave Ryan and Dante cruises as a gift for Christmas. The sail away date was April 19Th. Since this is their first cruise we planned a short one. The first day aboard the ship was fun of course the food was great. We took a tour of the spa and gym with Dante. Then off to the safety check. Then to dinner. While we were sailing away the boys found them some friends. Ryan even had a past student on board. Ernie and I had the Carr Family join us on this cruise.
This will be a blessing to all the men, since I will have someone to hang out with. (while Ernie sleeps) Of course our boys thought we would be in bed sleep before the Dance Club opened at 12:00 midnight. Much to their surprise we are not only awake but dancing. After all we are on vacation. The next day (day at sea) We played little name that tune, hung out by the pool the weather was good. Sat in the hot tub that wasn't so hot. But felt good. That night was Elegant Night. We got dressed up and took a lot of pictures. The men looked wonderful and the food was great as always. Lobster, Steak, Jerk Pork and the Yum Chocolate Melting cake.
After a round of karaoke (Dante sang as well as Amy) We went to bed about 1:00AM. After all we still had food coma. Got up early enough to see the sun rise and what a sight it was over the ocean to the west to the Island of Catalina. Ernie and I took the water taxi over and enjoyed a morning of walking around the island. On the way back we ran into Amy, Robert Lil E and Abby. I think we had more laughs on that water taxi then anywhere else. Ernie knows how to make the girls giggle.
A little lunch and pool time and a short nap. Game time and then another wonderful Dinner. Alex and Made were our servers. What fun to have them sing and dance with us. Ryan did the dancing that night. Dante and Ernie were in the Hip hop dance off. I have that video.
If I can figure out how to post it, you will see it here soon. We were all caught on film this trip dancing. Our dinner table Sure became way more fun when the AAA Girls arrived.
Now here we are and about half way done with the cruise. The next day as we arrived in Mexico the weather was light showers off and on. So Ernie and I didn't go on land much. The Boys had booked a tour so off they went. Ernie and I enjoyed our time together in the now warm hot tub watching it rain. Had a wonderful after noon of rest and relaxation. A little sushi and back to the dinning room the boys got there a little late, but hungry never the less. After dinner and more karaoke and it was Latin night in the dance club. And then the dancing was on. It was hard to leave the carefree life style behind. But I guess reality bites.
I can tell you this it won't be the last family cruise. The boys loved it. And it was priceless.
