Wow what a week. I missed my cyber friends so much. I know you all would have been great fun to be with me.

Younger dd some great activities. One was a Dolphin encounter. I have the photos of a hug, kiss, feeding food and even sitting on her lap. She is in withdrawal realizing she has to make her own food, there are no menus without prices, or buffets all day.
No night dancing, comedy acts, or her friends she made with the cruise director, photo guys, even the piano man. Glad to get home to the cats and we all had to take a nap as soon as we got back.

Dd, ds, dh all have gone on and on, about the best vacation ever and how they would love to do it all over again.
I did have a blast, so many friends, but nothing romantic, well no honeymoon anyway. But at least we did have a nice time. I was saddened about not having De there, having put the weight on, and the terrible pain walking I had.

Waves, did I think of you two days, day two, they closed off the deck doors due to huge waves. Then Saturday on the way home, the pool was like a wave pool before they drained it. The waves were over 11 ft so a rocky ride.

The other news, the ship the Norwegian Gem is a real Gem now. I had my engagement ring reset two weeks ago. The old setting was getting worn prongs and I did not want to lose the stone. Well in the pool on Saturday I lost the stone in the new setting. They drained the pool, checked the filter, but it was not the entire ring, just the stone.

It was weird, the first day at sea I left my cell on vibrate, just in case ds needed to text me with an emergency. But, I had two calls rec'vd from the jeweler that reset my stone in the new setting. I will be calling in the morning to see what they wanted and tell them my ring I had over two decades in the other setting was fine, the new setting, the priceless stone was lost from. It is really upsetting,

Then packing last night, I made sure I did not leave anything behind...I even packed dd shoes for this morning. You have to have shoes on to disembark and re-enter US. The younger son threw on his cape crusader outfit, ran to lost and found to see if they found "her" flip flops. LOL they were about 2 sizes smaller, but at least got her off the boat.
