Thanks so much for waiting to hear about my trip,everyone.

Day 1:It took 9 hours to fly from here to Barcelona. Talk
about a long flight!After leaving the airport,we tried to find our hotel that we´d be staying in for 1 night.(We were leaving for the cruise the next day) Let me just say it took 2 buses and 1 taxi driver to find the place!4 WHOLE STINKIN HOURS! In the midst of all this my mom lost something that she swears was on one of the taxis .The guy was really rude about it,and unfortunately didn´t speak any English.(Well,OK...this IS Spain,but you´d think SOME taxi drivers would speak English,right?Ed...or anyone that speaks fluent Spanish,I could have used you here)

Day 2:Left Spain and got on the ship.It was beautiful! We went to a buffet before going to our stateroom (Our luggage had to be brought there first) All the employees in the buffet were smiling & friendly. My mom ,sister & I were glad to get up to the stateroom.
That night:The CASINO! *excited!* : Won a little.Just enough to keep me satisfied.

Day 3: France Required a lot of walking around (something I can't do) plus a building that had steep steps in one building (which I also can't do. But that was okay. The view from my stateroom was tres magnifique! (Wish I'd brought a camera)
More gambling that night.LOST! Booooooooo............!
Let's just say that due to foot problems,I didn't go off the ship the whole time. You'd think I didn't have a good time.But I actually did! *Kermie smilie* I went to the casino every night (won a pretty big amount one night!) Went to some trivia games ( won a Royal Carribean cap at one,two pens @ two others & a sort of wallet thing at another) Plus I got to shop! I got 2 T shirts and a bracelet.
Saw an ice show on the ship.It was beautiful!
Now...one final thing.From Day 1 on,there was a guy that worked greeting people where the buffet was.He was such a sweet guy & always took the time out to talk to me!*BIG SMILEY ICON HERE!* We often talked for around 5 or 10 minutes each time. So now you might be thinking "Ooh!Kathy found herself a catch!" Sorry everyone ,I'm out of luck.He's taken. He introduced me to his boyfriend
(Please note...I have nothing against gay people.I was just surprised that's all & thought I'd found a guy for myself) But anyway...this guy was super sweet and told me he'd miss me.
Everyone now:Awwwwww!
So that's how my cruise went.

Really glad it went well for you and that you did have fun, Kathy.

Thanks William!
I forgot something when I was posting about my cruise earlier:
1) One of the channels on TV was based on one of the networks over here (CBS) So on a "Morning Show" segment,they had interviewed Carroll Spinney, Fran Brill & Kevin Clash! I thought of everyone here when I saw it
2)One of the trivia questions that we had was to name our captain's full name.His first name was Frank,and he was Scandavian.So the guy that I was paired up with on a team joked "Derskerderborgenborkbork...like the Swedish Chef!" I started cracking up! (Obviously the last name wasn't Der...well,you know,but it was funny!) The captain had a different last name needless to say

Aw, yay! Despite a bit of a rough start, I'm so glad you had a great time, Kathy! It sounds so wonderful!

Hehe, and what adorable MC reminders you had, too! That is very cool!

Thank you for sharing your fun trip with us!

I'm so pleased that you had a fun trip Kathy. Give or take an occasional teeny little misfortune.
