the cruise

So we decided cruising is for us. We had our first taste and want to do another. We had very nice couples at our dinner table and great waiters. We caught a couple shows every night and the comedians on the ship were amazing. One was scheduled for 30 min and ended up staying on stage for almost an hour and a half, he was having fun with the crowd and he was good. There was some unfortunate excitement - the U.S. Coast Guard had to fly a helicopter out and air lift someone to the main land for medical treatment. It was rather neat to see them maneuvering in and reassuring we live in a country that can protect you that way, although it was sad for the passenger. Paul and I were separated at that point and he was on the highest deck and was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming off the side of the boat as well. I wish I'd seen them. I think in the entire time we've been married I have a handful of pictures where Paul is actually smiling. He was smiling in almost all the pictures they took. The best one I wouldn't have been able to frame his head was too close to the top, but I came home with three of them.
