Embarkation

Yesterday, we flew to Miami, via Atlanta. I read Christmas with the Prophets and played the Delta trivia. We were at the airport in Atlanta for four hours due to the weather. It was snowing and raining when we got there. When we got to the rental car terminal, Mom lost her neck pillow. After we got the car, we drove to Ft. Lauderdale.

This morning, we ate breakfast at the hotel and then went to get soda at KMart and CVS. We turned in our rental car and took the shuttle to the ship, The Carnival Miracle. We had to wait a while to get into our room, so we just explored the ship for a couple of hours. We ate lunch in Horatio's, where they were having Italian and Asian food. After a nap, we went to the Muster Drill, where we sat in Gatsby's Garden. While we sailed away from Ft. Lauderdale, I listened to Tenant of Wildfell Hall on my ipod, wearing my snuggie because it was windy and freezing.




We had early sitting in the Bacchus dining room, where we sat at a table of six with a family from Texas. I had a fruit plate, a caesar salad, sweet and sour shrimp, and creme brulee with berries. After dinner we walked through the shops and unpacked. Then we heading to the Phantom Theatre to watch a swing dance class, big screen movie trivia, and game show mania.
