Discovered today now to put the !–more– tag in post on here. Had problems with so many pictures on the main page, but with the more tag I can show just a portion of each post on the mainpage. By clicking more you can see the whole post but will have to use your browsers back button to return to the mainpage.
We went over to the Schillings house for a Christmas feast.


Do cats believe in Santa? Tips has been hanging out around the tree as if waiting for something.

Went to the pond today hoping to get a nice holiday bird picture. Not exactly what I was looking for. Luckily I happened to spot this guy building a nest in a tree limb.

Being our first cruise we had to purchase some photos. The cruise ship photo business is what gave me the idea for Ragtop Video. To give players a souviner of the event that was video instead of photos, but we do photos now also. I noticed they also do cruise DVDs.

Still working on the log pages for the trip, but while unpacking I discovered a bunch of stow-aways from places like Grand Cayman, Roatan, Tomas, and Cozumel.

We got into some rain the last full day of the cruise, but there was still some folks who tried to get in one more pool day.

Well our view this morning was at least not of a shipping pier this morning. We instead were in the shadow of the Carnival Ecstasy.

Tomas de Castilla would be our only non-island stop on the tour as it was on mainland Guatemala.

Next stop, Roatan (row-tan) a little island off of Honduras. This place made Grand Cayman look like Dubai.

We got up early to see the sunrise……just not early enough. You can just make out what will be our first port of call - Grand Cayman Island.

This was our first full day on the open ocean. Yes. It is very strange not seeing land anywhere. I didn’t get too many pictures today I guess because I was starting to feel a little sick, not projectile vomiting seasick, but somewhat “out of sorts” as my inner ear was relaying completely different information then my eyes were seeing.
Trying to remember what we did….wish on ship internet wasn’t so expensive so that I could of keep this blog up daily. Mom and Dad went to a shopping program in the theater. That is about all I can remember of this day.

Tips wasn’t sure she was going to let us go on a 7-day cruise. Chip didn’t have much choice as he went to the vet.
Recovering from last weekend’s Grand Finale. My fears on attendance were realized. Attendance dropped to under 1,500 from last year’s 2,200. I think the Free Finale at Blanding game in two weeks is going to draw a lot of the players. Still it was a really cool game.
