Stormy Florida

Here we go again ! Storm Ernesto is supposedly the first of the many storm/hurricanes coming this year . Why is it starting with a letter 'E' ? Over here in the East coast , we don't bother much with hurricanes except when you are travelling to say Florida ! And that's exactly what we experienced 2 years ago when we went on a Carribean cruise . We left here on a perfect weather . We landed in Fla. with no inkling on what we will be facing us when we get back.
The cruise was alright . You know how your friends will tell you that ' you can eat steaks and lobsters every night in the cruise ' . Well , after 3 straight dinner of s ans l , I can't take no more . The buffet which are normally for breakfast and lunch are equally ' filling '. My boss has the habit of weighing each employee before and after the cruise and see how much weight one gained . There's one thing I enjoyed during the trip . Casino . It's stressless when you don't have to worry about driving home after 'gambling' . One only have to go to your room after getting tired from pulling the arm of the slot machine.
The 'hard part ' of that trip was when we got back to Florida , there was a hurricane . All flights were cancelled . No electricity near the airport and all nearby hotels were fully booked that we have to go to Disney Resort , until the flights resumed, which was after 2 days. From thereon , this East coast guy keeps track of all hurricanes coming stateside . By the way , I gained 5 pounds on that trip !

I'm not even going to touch the weigh-in....

I will comment that I'm glad you returned safely and that, during your cruise, you were not caught in mile-high waves.

Casinos are great! I had one of the worst vacations ever and a small trip to the casino saved the whole trip! Gambling is fun, so long as you're know when to stop.

I have never been on a cruise, but I have heard the food is fabulous.
I am glad you made it home ok.

You may have gained 5 pounds on the cruise, but what a nice way to do it. I haven't been on a cruise either, but hear they are loaded with fun things to do.... eating and gambling being the main ones!
