I decided to take today off too, yep I am in cruise mode. The girls are getting there nails done today and I can load the Hummer after they get back. Makes it easier on them and I don't have to rush around after work.

Everyone is having a good time, the wife is a little sea sick but the motion pills should help today. The cabin is great, the food is great and not as crowded as I though it would be. I could do this again! Faster to the fun was the best thing I got. We were at the port at 1030 and we were on the ship and in the cabin by 1145. That worked out great as little man needed a nap real bad.

We we arrive in Freeport at 1 and can’t wait to check it out.

It was raining pretty good when we pulled into the dock. It rained thru breakfast and the girls took off into town around 930 or so while it was misting. Me and little man stayed on the boat till around 11 when it finally started to clear up.we went looking for the girls and found them around noon or so. We then did a little shopping and got a drink at senor frogs. We came back to the ship because little man was hot and needed a nap. I am going to take him to the kiddy pool and let him splash around for a while.

I think the wife is game for another cruise later on, I know our daughter is. Little man has been really good on this trip, he showed out a little the first day but no problem since then. It has been very fun and relaxing too. Tomorrow is a day at sea so it will be fun.

Me and little man got up and ate breakfast and went to the kiddie pool while the girls slept in. That boy had a blast, he played and ran around till he couldn’t do it anymore. He is taking a nap and I will take him back later, maybe. My back is burnt along with the top off my feet. I covered him in sun screen so he is good. I think I have the wife convinced to do a quick trip down in the motor home to Orlando and do a water park towards the end of summer. She sees that little man really loves the water.

Since this his trip seems to be a winner for everyone we will probably do another but not going to commit right now, we still have a motor home we have not really taken a trip in.

Not too burnt just noticeable and only had a few drinks so good there too. I see people still stumbling around this morning. We are in the harbor and heading to the dock so its kinda sad but to see it end but we had a good time. Pulling into the dock soon so the fun begins on getting everyone off the ship and to the truck and the drive home. Back to work tomorrow.

for top tech. We normal bag drag to get off early. Between the ship and customs did you see a big table with all kinds of stuff on it? That all the crap people tried to bring onboard that was not allowed.

can not remember if I told you but this is my new project
​https://photos.app.goo.gl/6J1TPo9hR8aKotS42
It been sitting 9 years. Got it for 300.
pulled the bed and fuel tank Sat. ​​​​​ today put new fuel pump and strainer in put tank back. Oil change , gas and a battery if fired up. Started pulling that front fender to see what I can do with it. Needs a clutch, windshield, tires, muffler maybe brake work . Thers serveral small things turn signal lenses, tune up valve cover gasket.
The other truck is pretty much down.
