We managed
to get the rental car, pick up Nancy and Katie (who provided Starbucks), and
head to the port. Molly dropped the three of us and our luggage off and then
proceeded to the Budget place to turn in the car. Naturally there was a long
line there and she had to call a taxi because the shuttle wouldn’t arrive for
another 45 minutes. But soon she was also at the port and we all waited for the
desks to open. Which they did, and we all got checked in, and after a short
wait, WE WERE ON THE BOAT!!
Now, when
you officially step onto the boat, some of the crew is there and they announce
your family’s name. Since we had two families, we decided to call ourselves “Go
Bulldogs” family (while K&N are not bulldogs, but they were content to go along
with this idea). So imagine our surprise when we were announced as the
“Gabundas” family. Oh well, we tried, as did the MSU Bulldogs – unfortunately
their efforts were about as effective as ours, since they lost to Ole Miss.

| Just a little lunch ... |
Nevertheless,
we had lunch, got our rainforest room passes, made our Palo brunch ressies.
Soon our rooms were ready, so we spent the rest of the day taking a nap,
unpacking, going to the rainforest room, eating dinner and passing out for the
night. With two sea days on the horizon, I think we’ll be doing quite a bit of
the napping/eating pattern!

Today is a
gift because: getting the minivan rental; picking up Nancy and Katie and the
peppermint mocha frap; waiting for Molly to get on the ship and the dude with
all the information behind us in line; seeing Ole Miss fans in the terminal;
meeting our servers and having a table to ourselves (no creepy tablemates)
