Stopped by my sister’s while we are still in “town”. She’s at the Moore Home Depot for Halloween decorations. Her husband is here, and we are dropping off books for my nephew. It’s any and all books we were given as kids. My kids are past the Golden Books now, so his turn. Having a beverage noe and watching football. 

CC needs an emoji for YUMMMMM!!! 

Eh this will work😋

If you didn’t see it… that was a punt return, y’all. 
skinny orange margarita. Orange for breakfast… the margarita for Jimmy Buffet.

This will be my 20th cruise. 3 with Virgin, 1 with Celebrity, and 16 with Carnival. However, now that I’m an AARP member, I’m sure HAL and Princess won’t be far off. 😉 

 

You know you want that AARP OBC from HAL!!

Safe travels  - enjoy your cruise!

Glad you could use him. He was just collecting dust on the the bench over here. 😆

Just as I suspected… this game will be over by the time we board our flight. Not literally… definitely figuratively. Another skinny orange margarita. These wings are spicy. Really good. Hope I don’t regret them later.

Awaiting boarding. Short little flight to Houston then on over to Florida.

Been there done that, we now prefer Paradise Beach facilities, food, drinks etc.

Nachi Cocum for us. Looking forward to your review. 
 

Curious as to why you have never sailed NCL. Once we did NCL, we never went back to Carnival. We also enjoy MSC. 

 

Enjoy your cruise. 

[MeganGC1983]

Apparently it’s a full flight. We shall see.

For a holiday weekend, that airport looks dead. Definitely not like my home airport of Orlando!,

13 month old little boy in my row. They are flying to the Allure of the Seas in Galveston. His first flight and first cruise. I told him to be good and go to the kids club when he can. He’s only worried about his sippy cup for now. 😬

Welcome to Oklahoma. 😆

Whew! Just in time! Looking forward to going along again.

Following along…have fun on your cruise.

Just landed in Houston. Wifi did NOT work on the plane. Much to Theo and I’d dismay. Theo, little boy sitting next to me, and I became friends. We passed cheerios, iPads, sippy cups, and more all flight long between his mom and grandmother and his dad, brother, and grandpa across the aisle. He also took my phone a tried to take pictures of his feet. 
Still not the worst flight with a kid I’ve been on. I did listen to a short podcast.

Running to Buffalo wild Wingd to see the end of the TCU Colorado game
