I guess Rolly decided that Mica and Jodi should not leave.
We are finally on our flight to Seattle.
These two were ready to escape Portland.
In the Seattle airport we celebrate our first beer of the trip.
MmmmMMmmmm. Beer.
On the flight from Seattle to Miami.
We are now deep into our day one drinking binge.
Beautiful beer. Who is that scary guy in the back?
Wes's dad and Marge were on the flight, too! Andy's new nickname is F12.
Awesome Holiday Inn bench. Get that guy out of the photo!
Just enjoying the Florida warmth.
Our first view of the ship (on right) from the taxi.
When we got to the port there was a long line.
On the ship now, we are probably drunk.
Waterslide poses.
Tender drill. My jacket is missing the whistle!
Who is that little kid next to me? Oh, oops!
Don't jump Mica!
3000 guests on this ship and everyone had to stand in this line.
Sitting at the Fort Lauderdale port.
Another ship left just minutes before us.
Homemade drinks. Check.
Mica rides the short bus.
The ship set sail as the sun started to fall.
Pretty smog.
Vew of the rear tubs from deck 10.
The sun over Fort Lauderdale.
The sun in more detail. Closer.
Yup, this is still the sun.
This is a cruise ritual to ward off bad spirits.

Two years later this is our ship stranded at sea due to an engine room fire. The Navy dropped bare necessities for everyone on board as tugboats tow the cruiseliner to San Diego.
