1st, let me apologize for not posting in a long time. My goal was to post everyday that I was on my last cruise, but I was having so much fun, Shirley and I were so busy, I just couldn't work it into my schedule. I will try to do better this time.

We leave Sunday, Sept. 12 traveling to Savannah, Ga. We will spend the night at the Sheraton in the historic district. I love Savannah. The river walk is a lot of fun, neat shops. I really love the antique shop on the north end of the boardwalk. I don't know the name of it, but it's several floors, consignment type of a deal, many vendor with so much stuff. I love to look for old fishing equipment and musical instruments. Always looking for that one item that I pay $10.00 for, I take it to Antiques Road Show and find out it's worth much more than I paid for it. With my luck, I'll pay $10.00 and find out it's worth, $9.00.

Our cruise this time is from Jacksonville, Florida on the Carnival Fascination. We have sailed on this ship before and we have done this itinerary. The ship leaves Monday. We have a "Fun Day @ Sea" on Tuesday. Wednesday we are in Key West- Look out Kermit's Key Lime Shop, I'm on my way!!!! They have a frozen slice of key lime pie, that they dip in milk chocolate and freeze it on a stick. So, good, would make a puppy pull a fraught train. We also plan on doing some snorkeling and sailing on a 60' catamaran. Just one of the many shore excursions offered through the ship.

We will find our self in Nassau on Thursday. Yes, Nassau again. We are going to do the same thing we did last time. Take the city bus to the Sheraton and spend the day enjoying their facilities. We are in Nassau from about 12:00 PM until 10:00 PM, this will be a great opportunity to take some night photos with my new camera I got last father's day. Friday will be another "Fun Day @ Sea" and back to Jacksonville Saturday.

This is our second cruise as Carnival Platinum Guest. This is really a great program. Every day they deliver something special to your room. They have a personalized stationary in your stateroom, but the best of all... they will do our laundry, FOR FREE! So we don't bring home 87 suitcases of dirty cloths that Shirley will have to do.

This cruise will be very special, we are taking Tiffany and Courtney with us. It's been a long time since both of them have cruised with us. We took Courtney a couple cruises ago, I don't remember why Tiffany didn't go, college classes I think. I am excited about spending some time with them it will not be too long when they will be moving out, on their own and it will be just me and Shirley.
