The Family & The Cruise
It's
Christmas time and
our families decided to take a family cruise! We wanted something that would
allow us all to visit while escaping the city! All eighteen of us!
We did the "three day" tour of Mexico and enjoyed it. How else can
eighteen people spend a whole weekend together and not have to worry about
entertainment, food, drink, driving, etc. etc. We got t visit, rest,
play... it was a real hoot!
Departure From Los Angeles Was Like Herding Cats!
The gang boarding the ship
In the forefront is Sue (wheelchair) and Zachary. Next row of followers are Dave (our neighnor), Alyce (working about the ship), Kat (just following along), Ralph (worrying about the tickets) and Aunt Edith who was in her 90's and setting the pace for the res of of us!
Behind this initial group are the Chartier brothers (Pete and Eddie), Colleen, Mark, Jonathan, Cassie and Jackie plus Jeanette and Mitch and Connor. Jeanette and Mitch of course were very helpful in herding the cats onto the ship and getting everybody situated.
