Day 3 – January 1, 2010

The pictures are:

1. On our way shopping.
2. Barb now wants a new PT.
3. The deli for lunch.

We woke up late to a very overcast day with rain starting to come down. So, we did what anyone would do in this situation – we went shopping, shopping and more shopping. What a way to start 2010.

We left at 10 and got back a 5 and went to the two largest malls in the area. In between, we ate at a little locally owned deli.

Dinner was a gourmet meal at the Waffle House and then we went to the new George Clooney movie, Up in the Air. It is the first time that Barb and I have been to a movie since Tom Hanks in The Castaway. We may not go to a lot of movies but we can say that this is a very depressing movie with a few funny lines. We should have seen something else.

We have had fun in Cocoa Beach but we wouldn’t want to vacation here, it is just a way station on the way to a cruise.

Tomorrow we head for the new Carnival Dream and it should be fun. This ship is 1004 feet long and is 158 feet wide. That is over 3 football fields long! The Dream has 13 guest decks and can accommodate 3646 passengers. This will be the largest cruise ship we have ever been on and it is brand new.
