Bermuda - Day 1

I got up early this morning and did the watering. Beth took a shower, made the bed, and took the suitcases to the car. We had an appointment to see Dr. Bill at 8:15am. After our adjustments, we headed home to finish some last minute items and then headed to New York. The GPS said it would take about 2 and 1/2 hours. Beth was a little nervous what the driving would be like in lower Manhattan. We found the cruise terminal with no problem and the drive was not as bad as we thought. We unloaded our bags and then went to park the car. The parking was very limited and we found a place. So on to the boat we went. First stop was check in and getting our key card. Next was a quick picture and then we boarded the ships. Our rooms were not ready so we headed to the Lido Deck for some lunch. We found a table and waited in line for food. I had some chicken and Beth had pizza. It was a very hot, sunny, and humid day. After lunch, we were finally able to get in to our room. We dropped off our backpacks and put away our clothes. We then had a life boat drill as you do on all cruises. We then went back to the room and got the camera. The ship headed down the Hudson river out of Manhattan and past the statue of liberty as seen in today's picture. We had dinner by the pool and spent the rest of the night just walking around the ship. We had a cocktail party with the eagles players and it was great just talking football and visiting. They are all so nice. We are headed to bed as it has been a long day.
