Cruising

We made it through the long line at the port  - 

and despite on-going problems with Cunard’s new check-in software/equipment 

(our agent went thru 3 hand-held scanners trying to get us checked in)

we were on-board and having lunch within 2 hours. 

One of hubby’s suitcases got caught in Purser jail -

apparently hand-held clothing steamers are forbidden now, 

even though we’ve taken this one on two other Cunard cruises -

 Our traveling companions

but that was our only source of swearing snafu. 

By the time QE got underway at 7 pm, 

 USS Iowa

we were all on deck, 


libations in hand, 

ready for a bon voyage. 

Days 1 and 2 have been lazy, relaxing “at-sea” days.

We’ve reacquainted ourselves with QE, 

Commodore Club, our fav afternoon hangout 

read, napped, eaten and generally enjoyed ourselves.

One “gala” night is done, 

 UFO sighting off our balcony!

with two more happening before we reach Ft. Lauderdale.

(Don’t we clean up nice??)

We’re in Cabo tomorrow, then back at sea, headed for Costa Rica. See y’all soon!
