Dear friends,
We just got back from our cruise. I feel very blessed that I was able to make the trip. I booked this cruise for us and 10 friends over a year and a half ago. As their travel agent, I didn’t want to let them down and not go with them. . However, after being in that terrible accident and then having surgery in July, I didn’t think I would be able to cruise by September. .. but… since it was a cruise and I could rest on the ship most of the time, my doctors agreed to let me go. With God’s help, I was able to go on this wonderful trip with dear friends and we had a great time even though I was limited with what I could do and I had to rest a lot. I feel so blessed.
A Limo picked 10 of us up at our house on Sept. 19th and drove us 100 miles to the San Diego pier. That turned out to be the most economic way to get there. Otherwise we would have had to leave our cars in the parking lot and pay $15 a day.
That was my first ride in a limo. It worked out well for us. We were excited when we reached the pier and anxious to board our ship.
Once we boarded the beautiful Celebrity Millennium, we found our stateroom and started exploring the ship.
These cruise ships are like floating cities. It takes a while to find your way around…. in fact… even after 16 days on board, I don’t think I saw everything.
It didn’t take us long to find the buffet…..
…and the ice cream shop!
Before we could sail away, we had to go to the theater to go through the emergency safety drill… and then we were off...
We said “Bon Voyage”as we left San Diego and off we sailed into the wild blue yonder.
Can you tell from these pictures where we were headed?
If you don’t recognize it…. I will be telling you in my next several posts.
I am thankful for this lovely trip… and I am thankful to be back home in the USA. I was thinking of you all while we were gone and keeping you in my prayers.
My sweet little blog friend Laura, had her triplets while we were cruising. All three tiny babes are doing well considering how small they are. Please remember them in your prayers and drop by her blog to see the babies and wish them well.
Love to all, Grammy Lura

I have missed you dear friend. I love the post and pictures. I am so happy that you were able to go on this trip. Going with all of those friends must have been a choice adventure.
Love and blessings to you. I so glad you could enjoy these moments!!
Dear Lura: I was so glad to see your post today! I was sort of worried when there was nothing last Sunday but I am glad it was because you were having a great time. If anyone deserves it, YOU DO. The only cruise I have been on was on Celebrity and it was awesome. (Don't remember the ship...just before the Millenium came out.) I am glad you were able to go and to have a good time. Anxious to hear all about it!
Hugs,
Joy
Oh Lura, I am so glad you are back safe and sound. I have been thinking and praying for you daily that you would get through this alright, especially the flight home! ((((hugs)))) Am keeping those three little babies in my prayers also. Oh, if you could spare a few prayers for my father I would appreciate. He is having cataract surgery on Tuesday next and a biopsy on his prostrate soon. He is 78. Thanks. I know your prayers will help! I love you my sweet friend. Welcome home! xxoo
I came on my blog just to see if YOU had updated and found a comment from you and saw you cruised!! WOOHOO! So happy you got to the that!! I am sure it wasn't the same as in the past, but I hope you found many moments of joy and pleasure in between the needed rest and pain from your arm. I think about you often and I am so happy we met online! Lots of big giant hugs across the miles!!
