Fun times ahead!  Enjoy. 

It sucks about the almost kidnapping but......... yay its cruise day!!!!

La Bamba looks delicious! That's on my to-do list for next time we sail from there. 
Happy cruise day!!!

It is officially cruise day!
Kiesha and I revived in Fort Lauderdale around 6:30 last night. We had a weird Uber driver who Kiesha though was going to kidnap us! 😢 He kept missing his turns and took us on a longe route to get to our hotel. We were not kidnapped and are safe.
After the scare, we arrived at the Fairfield Fort Lauderdale Downton/Las Olas. Check in was quick and easy. Our room was very nice. Originally, I had us booked at the Fairfield Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port. Earlier this week, I checked the rates and I found this hotel for less than the one near the port. The guy at the registration even commented on how great a rate I obtained.
For dinner, we had an uneventful Uber ride to @Lovetocruise2002’s family favorite, La Bamba! I had the cheese enchiladas and fried ice creams. Kiesha had the steak tacos and flan. Everything was oh so good!
            
 
Here’s Kiesha exclaiming how much she enjoyed the dinner!

We had another uneventful Uber back to the hotel. After both us wasting time on TikTok, we called it a night.
Today, I woke up around 5:45 AM, many attempted to go back to sleep, finally got up around 7:30 AM and got ready. We are now waiting for  10:30 AM to arrive so we can leave for our 11:00 AM embarkation.
Next stop: Odyssey of the Seas

I am loving the monthly updates! Thanks for taking us along!

I cannot believe it is only five days to go! I can confirm the scientific theory that the days before a cruise are the absolute longest days EEEEEEVVVVVEEEEERRRRR!
Today, I received a double dose of cruise updates:
1. Earlier embarkation time slots became available. I was able to grab Kiesha and I an 11:00 AM. One hour earlier than before.
2. When the Royal Up bid email came out about five weeks ago, I secretly placed a bid for an ocean view balcony. If I won, I thought it would be a nice surprise for Kiesha. Well, my bid was accepted! We will be living that balcony life! Let me rephrase, Kiesha will be living that balcony life. I will be scared to get anywhere near the edge. 
My plan is to not tell Kiesha until we get to the cabin or she notices the room description in the app. Unfortunately, I am known as the girl who cannot keep her own secrets. It is really quite pitiful. Wish me luck! 😂

One more day! One more day!
What a week it has been? I finally started driving again. With my surgery, that can be a painful task. The more I do it, the better I will feel and the quicker I will heal. I am back on the streets of Atlanta getting a pedicure, hair cut and picking up last minute items.
Yesterday, I took the online COVID test. After I received my negative result, I walked around the house acting like a guy on Maury who received a negative paternity test.

 
Now, I have finished packing. I am waiting for Kiesha so, my fiancée can take us to the airport.

That ceremony space was so beautiful! My engineer fiancée wanted to know, “how did you get the aisle runner to stay?”.
The cake looked so cute! What was the flavor? How did it taste? Where did you get those cake toppers? Are they real Funkos? I need them in my life! Well, not with your likeness, that would be weird!!
Congratulations on your man being your husband! I am so happy and excited for both of you!
 

We are in global shortage of everything.  
Even common sense is in short supply it seems.

INAUGURATION DAY!
 
 

If it's anything like some other ships about 90% of the anticipated number end up on board.  It will be interesting see what we sail with.  

2400

Mario just passed 9000 points according to C&A Facebook

The odometer turns over and makes us all pinnacles!

Resets to pre-Gold.  Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, or any free bottles of wine.  

Y’all are too handsome! Loving the FRESH cut!
Congratulations on the East Coast nuptials! I hope the cruise is everything and more…
