I know, I know....totally random shots but I'd like the random shots if I was review reading so...I threw them in there :)

[purplemusik]

We went back to the room, napped, then went to dinner. Yeah, I know, I'm awful- no food porn in this review :rolleyes:

 

Next day...Freeport [ BOO! I am NOT fond of Freeport AT ALL but...what can ya do? ] We got off the ship so hubby could see what it was all about [ or what it wasn't about ] then got RIGHT back on :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a Beeeeaaaaauuuuuutiful sight, eh?

 

 

[purplemusik]

Here's a couple pics of the Conquest in port:

When we got right back on board- we went mini golfing :)

 

 

 

 

 

Riiiiight when we were finished, it started pouring. We went to eat then back to the room to nap [ LOVE this part about vaca without kids!! ] and watch a movie.

I loved the Ecstasy We miss her in Galveston but the newer ships are nice too But my far the Ecstasy is my favorite ship.

What a cute couple you are! :)

 

I see your husband put on a tie. My husband doesn't want to pack anything that even resembles "work" clothing. :rolleyes: Should I convince him to bring a dress shirt and tie (or 2) for our 5 day cruise next month?

What was your cabin number??? I have never seen a room set-up like that before but I like it

[wrigley80]

Love your picture review. I am going on the Ecstasy in December so it is nice to see what we will be seeing. Thanks

Nothing wrong with a bunk room, I've been in one too!! Gets you to where your going, just like high cost cabins:D Actually, there's a plus to an inside, it gets you out more!!

Just wanted to add my thanks for the review and great pics. Going with my grandson and daughter in September and he's enjoying all the pictures too! Only three but he's getting excited!

[kimmimom]

and these pics make me want to get back on there.... esp a trip without my kids where we could nap! LOL

[purplemusik]

Next stop... Key West! I really like Key West and this was my first time to the Butterfly Conservatory. A MUST! I highly reccomend the Key West Trolley/ Butterfly tour! The next 2,000 pics are from there [ ok not 2,000 but def an overload because I adore butterflies! ]

DID I SEE GRITS...on your breakfast plate? That is hurdle number one for us. We are also thinking about going on the Ectasy. We went on the Fascination. We were stunned by having a really good time. didn't want to get off.........so we are looking at other five day cruises close to us.

 

We have critters...a sick dog and a former feral cat...who is never going to be a cat who tolerates more than one or two people in her life. She was badly abused.

 

So Five days is great...Dog is at the Vets's where he needs to be anyway..Cat is at home..ruling the roost..which she enjoys.

 

Thanks for your review..I am like your DH..I fall for all of the stories. When we were in Grenada...I used up all of my spending money..buying Spice Balls..which I could not even take on the ship.......because they were so young..and they needed the money more than I needed some more trinkets. I guess.

 

Your DH has a good heart..red ponytail or not. Inside Beauty. And I have a thing about MoHawks. I taught when they first came out..most of the fellows used egg white to keep them stiff.way back then and .well, after a few days...........you can not imagine the smell. Funny now, and they were basically good kids..but what rows we had, I would make him sit in the doorway, anything to keep the order of rotten eggs out of there. The other kids complained. I would call his Mom and she was on MY side. She told me that whenever she needed an egg..she would go to the fridge..and they would all be her son's hair.!!

good memories!My Mohawk lad is probably a rich old conservative Lawyer somewhere today!!!

Ok enough butterflies...more Key West pics :)

 

 

 

 

 

This guy you see with the paintings outside of Hemmingways house would curse people out that didn't stop and look at his artwork....

Yes- Grits! He ate them every day!

 

Yes, his mowhawk- started smaller then it is now and more faded to look more formal [ if you know what I mean ] then seemed to get longer. I like it though- my idea to dye the tips [ except I accidently dyed more then the tips ] everyone loved it though!

totally loved those butterfuly pics. We rode the trolley in Key West..loved that place..and after seeing Your Pics..when we go back..God willing ...We will go there. Those gardens looked lovely.

 

did you see any six toes kitties at the Hemingway House? I hope to get off there..and to shop in some of the small shops we saw sandals...cookies..spices...coffee...bakeries..candy stores....novelities.....and they were CLEAN looking too.

I am about like you when it come to clean..I don't have to be waited on night and day..and if my soup is not hot..I won't complain..but NOT CLEAN..then I start yelling.

I also take a carton on Clorox wipes with me..it takes a minute to wipe down the toilet handle...things in RR..phone..door knobs..I do it as an anti Norvo prevention..and I haven't had norvo since I started. I did have it once. In twenty cruises...once. Talk about the cruise from Hades.....bad stuff. The entire ship was in lock down..actually it was the Princess Crown..which got towed in four cruises later..because the CDC would not let them land anywhere..Novo. Besides being locked down..the entire ship was in chaos. I often wonder if the Captain was also ill.

We didn't see any cats at all :( We didn't go in though- just around the outside. They have a lot of it blocked off now [ they didn't used to when I was there 10 years ago ] so it's hard to see unless you are in there.

 

I had the virus on one ship and it was AWFUL!!!! OMG! SO bad! soooooooo bad.
