Today is Sunday and it turned out to be a nice day of rest. While at Epcot, I suggested to Jeff to call Alamo and see what it would cost to drop the car in Port Canaveral. After speaking its corporate and getting a very high quote, he called Alamo at the port. They said to extend the car and drop it there, it would only be $75. That was an amazing price. To go to the airport at a reasonable time, we would pay for another day plus $15 per person to catch a shuttle. When we arrived at Alamo, Jeff went in and in the end, he got the car for the whole week for $139...much less than previously quoted. We were amazed!
Anyway, we had a lazy morning as a result. No hurry to get to anywhere. The drive to the port was about 1.5 hours long going on non toll roads. We really got to see the country side.
We arrived at 1 PM and were on the boat by 2 PM.
We went right to our room and dropped what luggage we had and headed up to get some lunch. Naturally, we ate too much!
Just before we started to leave, I started getting texts from my good friend Steve Eaton. He and his wife Karen drove to the pier to wave to us as we departed. And lo and behold, we actually saw each other and waved. It was nice that they would do that. I'm sad that we did not get time to be together this trip. But maybe next time.
Well, after the whole muster thing, off we went feeling colder than when we cruised from Seattle to Alaska! It was so windy and cold. We have been praying that the trip south would warm the air and the water. We shall see.
Dinner time (6 PM) was upon us quite quickly. The service and food was quite good. Fun again to be able to choose a couple of Menu items for each course. Thank goodness portion sizes are small.
After dinner, we went into the main entertainment place and watched people do silly stuff. They had a single woman dance class, a men against women question answer thing and so on. Eventually, we went back to Michelle and Jeff's cabin to play some cards (Hearts). I think I won...but don't tell any of them. At 10:15, we went off to watch the opening night production. It was ok...nothing to shake a stick at. About 11 PM....I was tucked in bed trying to go to sleep which was not easy since my stomach was rolling a bit. I ate way too much lunch and dinner. I won't do that again!
