On January 11, I made a promise to update the blog on a regular basis. Well here it is nine months later. At my age being "regular" has a different meaning, but here we go on another catch up post.
We cruised again out of Galveston with our good friends, The Calonico's, Huckins', & Kennedy's. All of our rooms were on the same deck with the exception of Debbie and Richard Huckins, who because of HIS cheapness were on Deck one. This is just below the waterline so they were entertained by various aquatic life while the rest of us had to tough it out drinking cocktails on our balconies. Unfortunately there were very few "good" stories to share but one comes to mind. We were on one of the Islands and "The Madge" was exiting one of the thirty jewelry shops she visited, she then asked me to join her in a perfume shop. While watching her buy things she insisted that I purchase some men's cologne, $190 later I had two scents that she liked. After arriving back home I, out of curiosity, looked up the prices on Amazon, price of the two bottles were $42.00. So much for the duty free, good deal Caribbean purchases.
Beers is Mexico, with Joe Kennedy wearing his favorite hat
It's a good thing Joe doesn't nap during the day. According to Joe!!!
It's hard to tell whether Richard is sleeping, engrossed in the music or just his normal look
Mr. Cheapo himself with his wife Debbie, besides having bunk beds, below the waterline, next to the engine room, he makes her share the Ipod
Semi dress up dinner, notice the absence of the Huckins, Richard didn't bring a sport coat because he couldn't fit it in his room.
Kathy Calonico & Joe Kennedy. I think Joe just noticed that Dave Calonico is drinking from The Kennedy" wine bottle.

Some pictures of friends and family who visited us or in the case of Erin & Brad it was our trip to Frisco Texas.

Erin, Brad & Caden at the Starwood. Instead of Erin having Easter dinner at her house she decided to have it at the Starwood Resort. Good choice and a lot cheaper for her, not me.
