Weather report for embarkation day. Check out the feels like. 😰 Let’s go to Miami in the summer they said. It will be fun they said.

Good morning from Miami.

You are right. I was thinking about you and Vicki while we had dinner. Hard to believe the Bella cruise was that long ago.

Seemed to be a common apparatus in every room category. Certainly no mention of fridge or microwave.

We had a great Uber driver named Ricardo. Had him laughing before we left the airport. As we approached our hotel, he had never heard about the swingers/nudist hotel next door to us. I only knew because my friends at home who host the morning radio show came to Margaritaville for a week a few years ago. They did their show live every morning from the hotel. They found out by seeing pool side “antics” mid-afternoon, so there game me the heads up. You know, so Owen didn’t get a surprise. Lisa quickly found the hotel website description and read it to him. Ricardo had never taken anyone there yet but if he ever does he’ll know what they are up to. One of the rooms featured on their web site. I’ll just leave iit at that.

Our vision after dinner.

Done.

Congratulations.

I know that view. ummm 🤔

This sign as me pondering the meaning of life.

Before dinner we took in some music at the beach bandshell. Also walked through the gift shop. There could be a theme for this week from all the shirts seen.

Thanks for preparing her for us. Safe journeys home.

Vibe now. Strawberry and mango daiquiris are our cure to a long day. Live music too. There they are. From the Doors, to the walking song from Notting Hill (Ain’t no Sunshine is what Lisa tells me the song is called), Bob Marley and other mellow additions.

Our welcome back gifts waited for us. Who needs a Pinnacle pin. I have my parrot head pin. LOL

At the hotel and flaked out. Some funny stories to share later. Welcome back gifts waited for us. Im sure Jimmy made our bed and arranged the towels.

That’s it for now. Florida is below and we are headed down the gulf coast. See you in a while.

Our itineraries for the B2B. First cruise. Second cruise. One of these sailings is not like the other. LOL, the second has a sea day, and the port days are swapped. Going to be 7 days of relaxing, drinking too and maybe some eating.

Our home for the week.

We brought all the best Canadian Candy. Canadian flavoured chips, with Canadian spelling too. I know how you love our flavoured ketchup chips.

What’s new since our last review. A quick update. Lucy this morning, not the least bit worried that we are going away. Owen’s activities. Opps, I meant to post this photo. He now has his beginners license. Ball tourney win a couple weeks ago. Just another 6 weeks in the season until hockey and football starts up again. I could get in trouble for saying this in FL, but we also watched our favourite NHL team win the Stanley Cup in Las Vegas.

Thanks Jimbo. Changed and you better remind me about our 20th anniversary next year. 😂

I first off have to thank George Michael for helping with my review title. It’s go time. We are off to celebrate our 19th Anniversary on a B2B cruise on Freedom. We booked this cruise a couple months ago, and thanks to OurUsual TA we have the same cabin for both sailings. That was a must, and the mission was accomplished. Somehow, we were able to fit this in between our work/sports schedule and everything else. Who is going you ask? Owen is staying home with Grandma and it’s an “us” cruise for Lisa and I. Well, that is along with you all following the adventures. Bags are stowed below us and we are in the air with Detroit behind us. We land in Fort Lauderdale in a an hour or so and Jimmy Buffet is putting us up for the night. Another thing in our rear view mirror.

Accepted.

I think I will, and if so I’ll start it once we are airborne.

Different strokes is what it comes down too. Nothing wrong with it for either side of the discussion. I just keep reading the thread title and think it says “Dookies coming soon to......” 😆
