Another Cruise

So you would like to know about my recent cruise?  Well, it was incredibly relaxing.  Massages, relaxing in the hot tub, a good book , libations, and time well spent with Casey.  Although, I will say, with the exception of Cozumel, the weather was not quite favorable with high winds and cool temperatures.  I did not take many pictures of this cruise, but below are some pics of Cozumel as well as videos of what the ocean looks like from the perspective of Casey’s cabin.  I took the pictures on a day when the water was a little rougher than usual so you could truly get the washing machine affect that occurs within her port hole on a daily basis.  However, all in all, it was a nice week away with a great deal of time spent together.  One of the funniest parts of this particular trip was the creative efforts and makings of Julie Junglepanties.  If I can find a video of that, you can bet it will be posted, and I am sure you will find it as hilarious as I myself did.  I had the opportunity to have brunch at Palo’s.  I have now had both dinner and brunch at that particular restaurant, and I have to say, I would almost recommend brunch over dinner.  If you enjoy an endless array of seafood, then it is imperative you attend if ever aboard DCL.  It is with my great hope that you one day engage in this experience, if you haven’t already.  Not that I am downplaying dinner (because the antipasto is another adoration of mine), but I was truly impressed with the fine cheeses, fresh seafood, and decadent desserts.  And to begin and end my trip on United First was a nice touch as well.  I do appreciate their fine service on the preferred side of the cabin curtain.

However, even though DCL has afforded us excellent cuisine, a relaxing atmosphere, and a lucrative means to sustain our lifestyle, it is time that this chapter of our life come to a close.  The difficulties of distance, time, and communication make this venture a difficult life to sustain.  Casey will be home in just seven weeks, and while we are grateful for all that DCL has provided, we look forward to rooting ourselves again at 41 Monmouth.

Happy Blogging!
