Well it is time for my annual blogg. We just go back from the cruise we have been planning for the better part of the year. We scheduled the cruise with the liberty magazine group. We had about 125 people for the liberty meetings on the cruise. We were scheduled to leave Fort Lauderdale, Fl. on Dec 3rd and were to go to Key West spend a day there and then go on to Cozumel, Mex. When it came time to leave Key West, the ship had a computer crash and they couldn't couldn't steer the ship. Well they had to fly in some computer whiz's and they spent all night and till 2pm the next day getting it fixed and getting all the clearances from the various alabet agencies to allow us to proceed. Well the ship couldn't get to Cozumel and then back to Ft. Lauderdale on time. Soooooooo we ended up going to Nassau in the Bahamas. It was very nice and we had a good time, but we were all psyched up to go to Cozumel. OHHHHH Well. In Nassau we saw Opera's 50 mil house, and Tom Cruise's house along with Chuck Norris place and a number of others. The Beaches were a beautiful white and if we had planned on Nassau it would have been great. Sabbath afternoon we went on a semi submarine out about three miles into the carribean to the Bahamas national underwater park. The semi sub is a boat with a basement that goes down about 8 ft. and has glass windows down both sides. We were able to see sharks and barricuda and about a thousand different kinds of tropical fish. The park does'nt allow swimming or diving so the habitat is pristine and very beautiful. We went over a couple of old wrecks and thatwas very interesting. Jerilyn took a bunch of pictures and I will try to get some of them on the blogg. The top Left picture is Bub with Kermit of the Key Lime pie fame frome the cooking network. The top right is of the Micael Jackson suite at the Atlantis Hotel. The bridge looking thing is the suite and goes for 25,000 a nite if you can believe that. The lower left is a picture of our ship the Infinity. It was a beautiful boat. The lower right is the grand staircase that goes from the 3rd deck to the dining room on the 4th deck. It was a wonderful ship and we did have a good time. I beter quit for now but will post more for later and will post more pictures then.

You can be on the same trip with someone and see it so differently. The semi-sub was very interesting and enjoyable but I was not impressed with Nassau. There were NO white beaches unless it was in front of the millionaires homes. It was a very dirty little island and I have NO interest of going back for another visit. But of course, this is just MY opinion. Sorry. Mom
