Guess who?
We sat around Miami airport Sunday after the cruise waiting on our flight out at 8 p.m. It was a great day for people watching - especially the Air France flight to Paris gate where we were scheduled to board a couple hours later. After the long line of passengers had finished boarding, this gentleman came up with a police escort and a girl to board.
I noticed lots of Air France employees and other people like us in the terminal snapping their picture with him. So I figured he might be somebody well known. Randy was suffering from a terrible lack of curiosity so I asked an Air France employee who he was and then went over to the fast food counter where he was waiting on his order and asked if he'd mind if I had my picture with him "for my son" - that add on was Randy's idea. I guess he couldn't imagine the "guy" believing anybody my age would want my picture with him or something ? ! ? We'll see if anybody guesses who he is, who hasn't already been clued in with a phone call that very day! So if you already heard, you can't play this game. I'll edit this post once somebody gets it - or sooner.
The rest of the story is that our flight got cancelled due to "weather" in Atlanta on Sunday, so we stayed overnight in a motel (at our expense of course due to the "weather" card) until Monday morning at 9:30 when we flew out. You might guess we were flying with Delta - hopefully our LAST time!
(added Aug. 9) Thanks for asking, Sara! It's Chris Tucker from "Rush Hour" and other TV shows and movies.

An overlook we stopped at in St. Thomas, our first port, on Wednesday
Some of the typical crowded-together housing in St. Thomas
The taxi island tour was scary in St. Thomas - driving on the left on their very narrow, swervy roads up and over the mountain in converted pick-ups that they call open air taxis.

We made good use of the gym facilities Monday through Friday. It's at the front of the ship on the top level so the view is top notch. We SHOULD have spent as much time in the gym as we did at the 3 meals a day chowing down.
Randy enjoying a good book
Arriving in San Juan Thursday morning
the San Juan Cathedral
In Old San Juan - a lady passing us on the very narrow sidewalk who'd noticed our shirts said "Don't you wish you were in Alaska now!" She'd been there too and preferred it as well.
Did you notice the color of the cobblestone streets?
We had some tasty Puerto Rican rice and beans and fried plantains for lunch in Old San Juan
Taken at San Juan's Capitol building - that has 16 kinds of marble in it
Fort del Morro and San Juan coastline
Our dining room waiters - how we miss them! Lin is from Myanmar and Carlita is from Indonesia. They're both dads.
Plumena was the dining room hostess who took our orders for vegan fare
The Grand Turk beach and colorful bouganvillea
MJ shopping at Grand Turk shops
Grand Turk's gorgeous water we snorkeled in - the reef there is the world's 3rd largest
The last night on the ship, at about sundown on the promenade deck. The water would have been good for water skiinig that night.
His last breakfast on the ship Sunday morning - both of those trays were his!
