Mom and I stayed at Charlene’s house last night. Kelsey met us at Charlene’s house and Steve drove us through the thick fog to Kent County International Airport. Grandpa and Grandma Thomas stayed at a hotel on 28th Street and met us at the airport. We were all in line to check in our baggage and found out that our flight to Chicago was the only one cancelled. That meant that we had to change our connecting flight from Chicago to Miami to 10:20 a.m. Also, that worried us because our ship was set to leave at 4:30 p.m. Anyway, we ended up getting transported by bus to the Chicago O’hare airport. The driver missed the exit to the airport and ended up going down a one way street. We made our connecting flight to Miami. Kelsey and Grandma sat next to me on the plane. Kelsey and I played some card games---speed and hearts. We were given box lunches, which I thought was so cheap for an airline.
Got to Miami and waited to be sure our luggage got there. Then, a shuttle bus took us to the boat in Fort Lauderdale. It felt so good to be in a sunny place with warm temperatures when we came from dreary weather in Michigan and Chicago. We got to the boat at 4 p.m. When we got on the boat, they were doing the emergency and lifeboat alarm.
I was quite impressed with Celebrity Cruise Line (Galaxy boat) as they thought of everything. You could access your tours and your bill right from the TV in your room. That made it handy for ordering our tours and such.
Kelsey said she liked the blond highlights better than my red highlights in my hair. We wore jeans to dinner because our luggage hadn’t arrived yet. One of the waiters was from Croatia.
We walked around the ship after dinner, which was a tradition of ours. Grandpa had always been a walker and kept in shape.
Went to the show at 8:45 where a lady from England sang. Her name was Jane McDonald.
At midnight, I went by myself to the movie ‘Nutty Professor’, starring Eddy Murphy.
