Waiting in the debarkation room to go on board the ship; Due to inclement weather our ship was delayed in returning to port and so we cannot board as planned. We are pushed back two hours and we are excited to use that time to people watch. I am so pleased that we are sailing with the Texas chapter of the "Traveling Red Hat Society!" They are ju...

17/08/09 Force of Nature

Today we saw , albeit second hand, the brutal power Mother Nature can wield when she's annoyed, but before we go down that sombre road let me share some of the lighter side of our day with you.

Today Trace and I experienced the true meaning of "Drive Thru America". ..........a drive-thru ATM, yes, we drew c...

Hello again,

After all the sightseeing and walking around New Orleans we decided to head to the beach for some chill out time. We stopped at a welcome centre just inside the Texas border line. The building was built on a swamp and had a vieing platform to see wild gators! How cool for a tourist info point!

We caught the free ferr...

Well, I timed it just right: as I pulled into the parking lot, four school buses were loading up to leave. Whew! Per the state park brochure, the Texas is the only surviving battleship to have fought in both world wars, and was the most powerful weapon in the world when commissioned in 1914. According to one of the signs onboard, she fired for 5...

In the morning, we drove around for a bit & went to park our car at EZ Parking. Took the shuttle over to the ship, dropped our bags off with the porters (a tad nervous this time as they looked confused), zipped through security, checked in right away with the help of being frequent cruisers, got a glass of champagne and boarded the ship righ...

(01-07-07) GALVESTON ISLAND - CARNIVAL CONQUEST TERMINAL Wet and warm, is how I would remember the morning of the 1st day of July. Our spirits were dampened by the early morning precipitation. The Island of Galveston is located 77km south of Houston and it is the homeport of two major cruise ship terminal, Carnival Conquest and The Royal Caribbe...

After a nice 4 days in Houston with Matt. He and I picked my dad up from his hotel, had lunch together in Seabrook, TX, and drove down to the port in Galveston, where my dad and I boarded the Carnival Conquest. Our cruise ship was about an hour and a half late leaving the port because, unbeknownst to us, there were Cuban refugees onboard. Appare...

Our first stop, after the hour plus drive to Galveston is Moody Gardens. I have an appointement to tour the Experience Music Pyramid, and look at some performance sites for our groups. Well, the director thinks we should see a "little" bit of the complex. It looks interesting to us, so we say "lead on". Our first stop is Rainforest Pyramid. This...

In the tween decks directly abaft the funnel lay six holds which had bolted down steel 'hatch' covers. Each cover had approx 240 nuts and bolts to hold them in place. Around each perimeter was a channel into which was placed a rope based 'grommet' soaked in some sort of fat or tallow perhaps. The smaller upper tanks provided access to the lower ...
