Back From a Week on The High Seas....

Pam and I just had a great week on the high seas cruising around in the western Caribbean...

Had a great time and ate way too much food.....

Tried on the latest Tissot, Omega, and Lamborguine offerings..That Tissot is out of my comfort zone with touch screen showing temperature, altimeter, built in compass, chrono functions etc., all in a watch no bigger than a Sub.. The Titanium Lambo is a dream, lightweight, functional and absolultely gorgeous......

I love 'em all, but first I gotta get some more watch boxes... and maybe a sack of money.......

We left Las Vegas shortly after a nice thanksgiving dinner on our way to this ocean coach in Ft. Lauderdale Fla...

Holland America's Ms. Westerdam... Sorry, stock photo as the shipyard is a crowded place to try to take a pic..


We climbed up to our suite on the fantail of the 7th deck....great view over 90 feet above the water:


Headed out to the open sea and we're on our way...


A quick look to make sure everything is working.....


We love to be on the back.... looking down:


And our view off the veranda when under way:


Had to have a cabernet or two here:


No, these are not comfortable:


I promised you guys some beauties by the pool:


Strange things appeared in our room at night:


And Mexico sent a welcoming committee when we got too close:


And we saw a few critters we don't get in the Mojave Desert..



It was all over way too soon...


Hope you enjoyed the trip..

Sounds like a great cruise, and the pix are awesome!

So, which Rolex did you take?

Hmmm... that looks familiar



Good thing you didn't cause too much concern for the Mexican CB90. It's a pretty lethal hunk of hardware. Armament ranges from ROSAM to Hellfire on this one. Glad you had a fun and safe trip.

Thanks for the preview, Larry. My wife and I are cruising the Western Caribbean next month on Royal Caribbean's "Freedom of the Seas". We're excited because It'll be our first time on a cruise.

Oh how I miss the cruses. If Westerdam is a compass point, what's an Oosterdam???



Or for that matter, what's a Maasdam?
