I realize I’m a day late in posting my final thoughts on our trip. I’m probably a dollar short, too. Better late than never, I suppose. I have no idea why I just used two idioms in the span of three sentences. Probably boatlag. Okay. Cruise. Final thoughts. Leigh and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, […]

Today was our last day of the cruise. We should arrive in Galveston sometime tomorrow morning around 6:30, and hopefully we’ll be able to get off the ship and through customs before 8:00AM. I’ll post final thoughts about the cruise tomorrow night. To be concluded…

Still cruisin’, but we only have one more full day at sea. We dock at Galveston on Sunday. This will be a relatively short post because I haven’t showered yet, we have dinner in an hour, and frankly, I’m freaking exhausted. We arrived at Cozumel this morning around 9:30.

I believe I made mention in the last post of a hairy, middle-eastern man who was shedding in the swimming pools. Well, this afternoon Carnival held a […]

This afternoon at 4:00, Leigh and I departed from Galveston, Texas on the Carnival cruise ship The Conquest. As I’m writing this, we’re in the Gulf of Mexico, several hundred miles from Galveston. On Wednesday, we’ll make a stop in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is our first cruise, and it’s a little odd. Neither of […]
