Cruise Take off! Dec. 14th and 15th On our way!

Well we left on an afternoon flight and seats looked pretty good to go Salt Lake City (SLC) to Houston (IAH) and then on to Miami (MIA). We stopped by Brookstone in the IAH airport and used their massage chairs, which was so wonderful and much needed! We got into MIA about 11 pm. and because we didn't want to pay for hotels (being most of them were over $100) and trying to work out transportation, which I brilliantly worked out using the Public Bus so it only cost us $2 per person, except for the fact that it doesn't take you all the way to the Port so you have to walk a little ways (which includes two blocks and over the big bridge to the port) which really isn't hard at all. Which everyone kept saying its way too far to walk so Bruce decided on a taxi... which was freakin $10 just for like a 5 min. ride (those 2 blocks and over the bridge). So after he saw how short it was and pointless for a taxi he was upset, but it didn't help with the night before staying in the airport cause like I said earlier he gets grumpy as soon as we are in an airport and we didn't sleep very well in the MIA airport of course being there from 11pm to about 1030 am. so we immediately checked in for the cruise and went down to our room and slept until dinner. After which we explored the ship more. We also have some wonderful dinner partners... there were 6 spots to our table but we only filled 5...
there was Auvi from Isreal, which came by himself (which you should never do on a cruise and he later admitted that he wished he hadn't told his girlfriend not to come). and then Yuro and Jo (an Asian couple) from Boston. They were all really nice people... i just wasn't used to having other people at our table, because usually my family filled up the whole thing. Bruce wasn't used to it either, because he'd always gone just with work so it was hundreds of kids he worked with that he all knew and they actually took up most the cruise ship! Well the ship took of at 5pm and was on its way to Nassau, Bahamas! I'm excited cause i've never been there before!
