Mediterranean ~ Day 1

Day 1 of My Honey & I's Mediterranean Cruise

Tulsa Airport - getting ready to fly to Atlanta & then on to Barcelona, Spain

Greg was SO proud of his new Eddie Bauer duffle - he said it's the one the Mt. Everest dudes use! 

Shuttle ride from Barcelona airport to port

Our 1st sighting of our Home away form Home for the next 7 Days - 

*THE LIBERTY OF THE SEAS*

The world's 3rd largest cruise ship

After getting on board, we quickly changed into out suits to go catch some afternoon rays

But 1st - we had to try out our suite's balcony - such a BEAUTIFUL view!

Looked like a postcard

Barcelona

View of balcony from room - we had 2 chaise lounges & then a table & set of chairs

We LOVED hanging out here in the evening before dinner!

Off to the ING Welcome Reception ~ we couldn't wait to see all our compadres that we have met over the past few years of vacationing together

Me & Emme ~ my sweet friend from Houston, TX

Had to get a cheesy shot of the lion shaped ice sculpture...ROAR!!

Two of our favorite friends from Florida ~ Newlweds

Vaughn & Florence

Time for our 9:00 p.m. dinner in the Michelangelo Dining Room ~ check out that chandelier!

I think they may have stole it from Paris Hilton's bedroom!!

The dining room was 3 stories tall & just gorgeous!

Every night we got a leather bound menu full of delicious entree & dessert options...ahhh, now that was the life! 

!

Don't laugh, but I ordered 3-4 "starters" each night before the main dish. When there's no limit on what one can order, why not, right?! :-) I tried everything from strawberry gazpacho to caviar to seafood laksa!

The 1st night was my most energetic night - I was SO off schedule & my body thought it was like 10:00 in the morning! I drug Greg to the boat's groovy Disco...

and then on to the Piano Bar...we had a BLAST!

Well, until we paid for it the next day - 5 hours of sleep, and 8 hours off schedule, does NOT do the body good!

Stay Tuned for Day 2!
