Nicolle and Julie enjoying a Cinabon while waiting to get on the plane in Salt Lake City. This was the begining of a 14 hours trip to Rome Italy.
Nicolle was able to sleep on the plane after taking a sleeping pill. I didn't take one and this picture is the evidence that I was not able to sleep on the plane. I read 3/4 of Twlight instead.
When we arrived in Italy we had to get in line to show our passports. There were a million people it looks like a herd of cattle and we were all merging into a line with one person looking at passports. We stood in line for a little over and hour. Still the first day of vacation so we are still smiling despite the situation.
Our home for the nest 10 days the MSNoordam.
Me on the back deck of the ship overlooking our departing port Civitavecchia, Italy
The first thing you do once everyone is on the ship is have an emergency drill. Don't we look great in our lifevests.
We found the shuffle board games as we were exploring the ship. We didn't actually play a game. We ment to latter in the trip but never found time.
We also found this chess board on the ship Julie and I played the first game was a draw. We basically took every piece from each other except the king and one other. We started over and I won. All that practice with Jack paid off.
We took a tour of the kitchen and meet the head chiefs.
The kitchen staff was amazing. This guy was making flowers out of vegetables. The food was really good on the ship. I did though find some things I couln't eat. Anyone that knows me well that will not surprise.
Dick Nourse the retired anchor man from KSL and his wife were with the group from Salt Lake that we were traveling with. They were very nice. If you are from Utah you will recongnize him.More pictures to come.
