I have looked and looked at the 200 plus pictures I took on the cruise and I have decided to post the ones that still make my heart race. The most lovely thing about the whole cruise is my lady Carol who has spent over forty years with me.

I spent 4 years at sea with the united states navy back in the late 60s and early 70s and have not been back since so this view too brought back lots of memories and made me feel like I was floating on air. I absolutely love the sea.

Now for the ship, it was huge so we hardly felt the motion of the sea, and I missed the roll and pitch you experience on a smaller ship, but that may have made the wife sea sick so it was probably best that the trip was smooth and calm. The ships name was Conquest and it had 14 decks, 3 pools, more bars than you could drink at in 7 days. It carried 3200 passengers and 1200 crew, the only way to describe it is a city on the sea.

We visited Jamaca and Grand Cayman, the Mexican port was cancelled due to the Swine flu. The islands were beatiful as were the beaches. Walking in the warm sand and wading in the warm crystal clear water was delightful. This picture is on the beach in Grand Cayman, all of this just makes me want to go back and do it again.

The ship had everything you wanted, great food, entertainment, clubs, dancing, dining, outdoor movies, slides, spas, there is no end to the opulance and decadance.  I am afraid this is starting to sound like an advert, but I don't know how else to write it. The next picture is of the lido deck early in the morning before it was full of folks, Carol loved the slide, the movie screen was showing pictures from the islands.

I am going to post all the pictures on a picture site and publish the link in my next blog, but I wanted to go ahead and share this with all of you. I had one of the best adventures of my life and if you get a chance to cruise and havn't done so, my advice is do it.

There are more pictures at www.ggarry.keepandshare.com just click on the word  albums and then click on the car.
