so after the reception last saturday night, kimb and i went to the marriott at bush airport in houston for the night. we woke up around 4:30 sunday morning to catch a flight to ft. lauderdale to get on our cruise ship. we had found out on saturday that our cruise was going to be arriving in ft. lauderdale late due to a “medical emergency” but we had already booked the flight so we dealt with it. when we arrived in ft. lauderdale we caught a taxi to the port and got our luggage checked in and then we were put on a charter bus and taken down to the beach to hang out while we waited for the ship to arrive. we met a couple from seattle in ft. lauderdale and hung out with them the entire afternoon. they were awesome.
due to the late arriving ship, we missed lunch so carnival cruise line credited each of our accounts $15 for that meal so we went and used that $15 to get some lunch. we went to bubba gump shrimp co. for lunch. the food was really good. to bad it took them over an hour to bring us our food and then when it arrived, it was the wrong meal. needless to say we were upset. so kimb and our new friend from seattle raised a stink about it and WE GOT THE MEAL FOR FREE!!!! that was awesome. thats my wife!
we eventually got back to the boat and were herded like cattle for awhile until everyone got on the boat. it’s amazing what a little medical emergency can do. we got to our room (we had a balcony room. it was nice.) and our luggage arrived and we had nice dinner that night. it was a busy and long first day but it turned out to be the start of a very memorable honeymoon.
more stories to come, but for now, here are a couple pictures.
grace and peace.
