Back in Texas from our Cruise

 77º with partly cloudy skies and very windy in the Rio Grande Valley at 5:00 pm on Monday.

Week ago Saturday, at 5:00 am we were headed up the road to Galveston, TX to board the Carnival Cruise Ship Vista.

After dropping the girls off with the luggage, I took the pickup about 3/4 mile to a storage lot where I rode back to the ship with bus provided by the parking lot.

It was getting on near 2:30 PM when we were on board and went directly to the Lido deck and had some lunch while waiting for our checked bags to be delivered to the rooms.

Sit-down meal in the evening in the Horizon Dining Room.

Went to orientation presentation in the "Liquid Lounge", the main stage of the ship.

Sunday morning we explored the ship in great sunshine.

Sunday afternoon was the first of six 2 to 4-hour programs that Steve Baldridge put on with his family's GoldWing Express bluegrass band from Branson, MO; Allen Sibley from Mississippi; Alex Leach from eastern Tennessee, and the Restored Gospel Band from Missouri.

After dinner Sunday evening we listened to several different entertainers, this group with violins in the Atrium area.

Will continue this.............
