Vacation Report #4 Day at Sea

September 11, 2006

I awoke this morning and right away turned on CNN on the stateroom tv and watched the 9/11 memorial services. It was a somber occasion and I am sure we can all remember what were doing when we first heard of the attacks on that day.

We took our time getting ready and headed to breakfast. After breakfast, we hit the pools! We spent most of the day in the Florida straits, with Cuba about 20 miles of the port bow. A few times throughout the day, the island was visible on the horizon. We were enroute to one of my favorite islands...Grand Cayman.

Today was a big day for relaxation and character meets. Having small children, we would call the character hotline every morning to plan where we would take the kids to meet the characters. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the characters. Tracy and I also had a chance to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Great movie! It totally sets up for the 3rd movie.

After the movie, we rushed to the room and got dressed in our formal attire. We had dinner in Lumiere's. Dad, Tracy and I ordered the escargot, but only dad and Tracy ate it. I couldn't convince myself to eat a snail no matter how much butter and garlic was on it. I ordered the roast duck, but I must say of all of the meals throughout the week, this one was the least satisfying.

Following Dinner we enjoyed the Golden Mickey's show. It is set up to resemble an awards show and the Golden Mickey being an award. It was a very enjoyable show and featured Mr. Roy Disney. He reminded us that the entire Disney company started with a mouse. With that, Mickey burst on stage in a gold tux.

We then retired for the evening and looked forward to Grand Cayman the next day.
