Cruise Day 1- September 29, 2014

Woke up to pouring down rain. So much and so hard, the town of Charlesron was worried about flooding! Fortunately, I'm usually prepared for almost anything and I had multiple trash bags, Target bags and waterproof bags for electronics. 😉 We took everything out of the suitcases, packed them in the bags. Didn't think to bring an umbrella...I have 4 umbrellas...3 are at work...1 is at home for my dog! Yes, she's a big sissy! Off we went in search of an umbrella. Found a big 'ol golf umbrella at Target. Sure felt like an old geezer carrying that around! But it kept us & our luggage dry! 

Our hotel arranged a taxi for us. Fairly certain the driver was too impaired to be driving but we made it safely! Thank you, Jesus!

Security checkpoint-wow. I was picked and every thing was removed from both of my carry on bags. Everything! They questioned AA batteries for camera. Lip pencil. Opened up both 12 packs of coke. Literally opened the box & took every coke out! Opened up my night guard case!!! Holy Batman! This is intense!

Thanks to my Tennessee shirt & Joey's Tennessee hat, we met several people from TN! Found out that one of the girls that comes to youth occasionally is on the ship, as well! Over 2,000 people on a boat and a family from BCC is on it! 

Sea sickness-my sea legs failed me! Guess that's what I get for bragging! Chose to skip on the patches that go behind the ear due to price. Since I've never experienced sea sickness, I wasn't too concerned (plus we had Sea Bands, Dramamine & other nausea meds packed). About an hour after we took off, I turned green! Thankfully, Sea Bands truly help! I was up and feeling normal about an hour later! 

Had a great dinner & met a couple that had just got married on Saturday! I enjoyed 2 of the heavenly chocolate melting cakes! 😊 Hey...I had tilapia & steamed veggies for dinner! Don't judge! Dinner is 8:15...Beasman is normally in bed at 9...needless to say, we crashed shortly after. No shows for us! 😁
