Mardi Gras / Live / Solo / Nov-27-Dec-04-2021...

[IntrepidFromDC]

Si-i-i-id...  wakey wakey, hands off snakey!  Time to cruise.  Won't be following daily, because we'll be on Legend tomorrow for 7 glorious fun-filled days.  Not as fun as Mardi Gras, though.  Have a great cruise.  I look forward to reading all the antics and shenanigans. 

 

Oh Lido deck dj, can you play "What Does The Fox Say?"

I don’t think I’ve actually used it since my Lamanai Tour in Belize two years ago…but it’s always in the suitcase. I may need to check that expiration date because I’m going back to Belize next week.

Cruise day!!!...

AS bad as I talked about this hotel room, the bef was actually pretty comfortable, and I slept great... Something about the ear plugs that make my dreams even more vivid... Now, off to find some coffee...

[sid_9169]

There are already people standing outside in front of the hotel with their bags.

Could've saved myself a hundred fifty bucks yesterday and just got a McRib...

I guess that no amount of "staging" will make an egg McMuffin beautiful...

I didn’t anticipate you needing this information on the trip but with the McDonald’s app you can get a free breakfast sandwich with a $2 purchase.

Have fun.

You are one of the best of telling a story about your travels

McRib is back ! What's the meat made of?

Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue" that helps bind the reshaped meat together.

All that McCrap coming out of your McRib is gonna give you the McShits!!!

 

Enjoy your cruise 😁!

Getting my ducks all lined up for boarding. Luggage tags taped on, vaccine card, boarding pass, corona virus test results, and passport at the ready...

Sid,

How does the Marriott springhill suites look? I will be there next week pre-cruise.

I believe its right next to your hotel.

[sid_9169]

A Hundred points for whomever can tell me which terminal I need to go to today... I know that it's the new one, and closest to the ocean, but don't know what it's called... Thanks:)

I can see it from my hotel, and I can tell you that it looks much newer than this one...

I walked North from the hotel, until I came across this.. looks like my all time favorite ship is in Port today with us: the Norwegian Escape...

Beautiful and busy day at Port Canaveral. Easy to see why you might get confused here. Mardi Gras, Casino Gambling Boat and a freighter offloading cargo, all in the same vicinity. Make sure you get on the right one. Although, that cargo ship is headed to Marrakesh. Be an interesting journey.
