A Cruise To NOWHERE!

Well as you might have heard our cruise to Mexico got cut short by Gustav. So instead of leaving Monday, we left on Wednesday and instead of going to Mexico, we went No Where! Really, we just cruised around the middle of the Gulf of Mexico for a couple of days and then headed back to Galveston. We didn't even have go through U.S. Customs, cause you guessed it, we never even got off the ship! All in all we had a great time and it was perfect for Celeste to test her sea legs and get a feel for the Cruise ship environment.

We were about 2 hours late getting off, but hey there wasn't any hurry because we were going "no where"!

Each evening after dinner we would come back to our room and find new towel aninmal. When Celeste saw this I she could not stop laughing. It really caught her off guard.

First there was this walrus (not me! the white thing with sun glasses!)

And then an Elephant

And a puppy!

"The Mall" was a pretty sight at night. It was easy to forget you were on a ship!

Midnight buffet with the ice carvings

I was able to get these shots before the crowd came in.

We had some great people at our table as this final dinner shot shows. We even made some special friends, Greg and Patrica Roberts from Kingwood!(left side nearest window)

What a great time!
