Hello to family and friends,
We are behind schedule getting our world travel news to you…we had to make adjustments in the blog so our ship’s satellite Internet system could upload the files to send to you. We are going to send you the blogs in chronological order starting with Day 1.
Launch Day
DAY 1 - We launched from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida at 6:00 p.m. under a glowing sunset on Wednesday, January 5th, accompanied by a fabulous Bon Voyage Party on the ship’s decks with lots of live band music, complimentary tropical drinks, and 1300 of our new “travel friends!”
There is a touching “Welcome Home” banner hanging on our ship, the Holland America Ms. Amsterdam, as we make our way up the gangplank…and we realized this will truly be our special home away from home for the next four months.
Here are a few photo highlights from our first cruise day:
This the “Welcome Home” banner that greeted us as we boarded our cruise ship.
Pulling away from the Ft. Lauderdale dock – heading out of the harbor into the Atlantic Ocean and starting our World Journey!
