A quick cruise to the Bahamas
The next day, we woke up and grabbed a cab to the Miami cruise terminal.
The main reason why I picked a cruise for the two of us was because it actually fit our schedule perfectly and we both love cruising.
It was a real quick four-day one on a pretty small ship but she was still pretty excited to go.
Unfortunately, while I was ok in Miami, by the time we boarded the ship, I was sick again.
I’m pretty sure that that French kid that was coughing up a storm while I was traveling back from NJ to see the Firecracker, got me sick.
In fact, that was one of the reasons I booked this cruise in the first place; I felt I missed out on a solid 1/3 of that cruise because I was sick.
Me: This stinks. The last cruise, I was out for the about a 1/3 of it, and this one looks like it’s gonna be the same.
Her: Sorry, baby. But let’s make the best of it.
So, we did.
Me: If nuthin else, I’m eating less than I normally do.
Her: You’re eating less? You’re still ordering all the appetizers and two entrees per meal.
Me: (puzzled) Yeah. Like I said, I’m eating less.
Her: (shakes head)
Unlike last time, it was pretty much non-stop eating, reading, and sleeping for me.
Which is my idea of a perfect vacation.
It didn’t hurt that the Firecracker was there with me.
My sleep was pretty awful the entire time because my cold ended up being the kind where you cough all night and don’t end up getting a single good night of sleep.
That was super annoying.
We didn’t do much, at all on this trip but I have enough pics to put them into a second entry.
So, I’ll see you for that.
Until then, here’s a cool video of our departing the port – it’s sped up 10X, so this is a ten-minute video in exactly one minute.
Location: evidently, the arctic
Mood: frigid and tired
Music: it was only us when it was only us (Spotify)
