Bon Voyage and 1st Sea Day

We started our day with a walk to Walgreen's for some microwavable breakfast.  We also took some pictures of the Catholic Church across from our hotel.  To see some of those pictures and our friends pictures click here.
After spending our morning getting ready for our departure, we headed from Ft. Launderdale to Miami to get on our ship, the Norweigan Pearl.

Our first dinner on the boat.  We ate at the restaurants for almost every meal.


Day 2

We spent the morning just relaxing.  We layed out in the crazy wind and sun.  We went to an art auction on the ship.  Jeremy and Evelyn accidentally bid on a picture we were making fun of and won but luckily were able to get out of actually purchasing it!

Waiting for our nightly entertainment.  That night we saw comedian Buzz Sutherland at the Spinnaker Lounge.  He was pretty funny this night.  We were so excited to get off on our first stop the next morning.

Florida

Debbie and I traveled to Florida earlier this month for a cruise with our friends Jeremy and Evelyn.  We got into Fort Launderdale on a Saturday afternoon and checked into our hotel.  That evening we ate dinner at the most amazing Cuban restaurant.  It is called Padrino's.  None of us had ever had Cuban food and left full and happy.  It was a great start to our first day of vacation!
