CRUISE 2009





Kathy and I just returned from a cruise that sailed out of Jacksonville with stops in Key West and Nassau, and we had a great great time. Our first cruise was for 7 nights while this one was only 5 nights; but this one was far superior to the first one. I only gained 5 lbs on this cruise where on the first one I gained 10 lbs - so I guess they have taken some of the calories out of the food since I certainly did not limit myself on eating. I think the big reason this cruise was superior was that Kathy and I spent a lot more of our time just laying around the pool reading and enjoying each other's company - it is amazing that two people can have this much fun together.
We were not impressed with Key West other than the excursion on the glass bottom boat. We went out 6.2 miles to a reef and got to see lots of fish -- sure wish I had of taken a fishing pole with me or a big net. It was so humid in Key West that I did not get many good pictures as my camera lens kept fogging up. We had been to Nassau before and did enjoy going to the Atlantis again and looking at all the fish they have in the aquarium there -- we saw a diver take a ride on the back of a 300 lb sting ray. All in all this vacation was one of our best -- we will try and top it next year.
