Nov. 17, Houston and the Golf of Mexico


Well we woke up to still being in Houston and with no indication of any movement of the ship.  We were still tied to the dock.  The 6:00 AM departure came and went.  We again went up to Sabatini’s for breakfast.  We came back to the room and waited to hear when we would depart.  The captain came on the speaker and announced that we would depart at 10:00 AM.  At 11:00 AM we finally departed for somewhere.  We do not know what ports we will miss or where we are gong, except that we are finally leaving Houston.  We went down to the dinning room for lunch and then I went to a Photography lecture and Judi headed for the casino.  I enjoyed a good lecture and Judi ended up disappointed, because although the slots machines were on and people were in the casino, the slots were not working and the people were just there to smoke.

We met back in the cabin and played a little gin and then tried to order room service again.  This time we got stubborn and waited for them to answer the phone.  45 minutes later we placed our order.  I sat by the phone and read my book as we waited for them to answer.


We have found out that we are headed to Costa Maya instead of Rotan, but the rest of the cruise is the same.  We are rocking and rolling and the weather is cloudy and cool.  Hopefully the wind will die down and we will have smooth sailing the rest of the way.
