Texas Cruisers!!

[basser]

We have cruised on the Conquest, Celebration and will be on the Spirit southbound from Alaska on June 8th with our Granddaughter and Grandson. Yehaaaa, Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad!!

[EastTex]

How many out there can say they know their state song? In Texas it's not unusual to first sing the national anthem at football games and then sing "Texas, Our Texas"

 

 

"Texas, Our Texas"

 

Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!

Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!

Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test

O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.

(chorus)

 

Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,

Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,

Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,

With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.

(chorus)

 

Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,

Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!

Mother of heroes, we come your children true,

Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.

 

Chorus

 

God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,

That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,

That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

 

 

Here's a web site where you can listen to our state song.

From San Antonio, BF and I are to set sail on March 13. Going on Elation out of Galveston. I am ready to zip up the luggage and get to the port. But of course I still have a week to go. :(

[Paradox]

We have another cruise on the Rhapsody 9-18-05, then our first cruise on a Carnival ship on the Elation for 01-15-06.

 

Don't know what to expect from Carnival, but can't wait to find out!

 

Never had a bad cruise vacation........is there such a thing?? lol

Hey pmor3960,

 

This will be my first cruise, and I do not not know how I am going to focus on work next week. I think I finally go all my shopping done today and now just to pack and count down the hours to fun and relaxation.
