Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Day 4 - Isla Roatan, Honduras

 We have our first port day today and the only excursion that we have paid for.  We are doing the Top 10, but there are not 10 stops so it's a bit misnamed.  At any rate, come along and see a bit of Isla Roatan.  I did do different things last trip, so here is the 2024 LINK if you are interested in seeing more of the island.

I'm in love with being able to watch us come into port from the balcony of our room.  It is such a full view.  This docking always throws me for a bit as we back into port.  My view became out to sea after a bit.

Girlfriends Cruise 2025 - Days 1-3 - Departure and Sea Days

 The girls and I have all met up!  It's time to board the ship and we are EXCITED!!  Some of us have been on the Jubilee before so I'm not going to share all the features of the ship this time.  If you are interested in seeing spots all around her, here is the 2024 LINK where I did post many pictures.

We get a bit of a photo bomb, but we're almost there. 

Early Departure For Cruise - Gwen and I

 Weather forecasts are not  looking good for the DFW area so Gwen and I make a last minute decision to leave for Galveston 2 days early.  Packing, grocery shopping, and craziness ensued, but by 4 p.m. I am on my way to pick up Gwen in Ennis.  We're only going as far as Corsicana tonight, but it is below the frost line.  Our first stop is to find dinner at a restaurant that Gwen knows about.  After that, we are off to the hotel and a good nights sleep.  We are both pretty dang tired.

New Year's Eve Family Time 2024

 Rhiana and family are flying through Dallas with an overnight layover on her way home from Mexico.  We are thrilled to have the chance to spend some time together and rented a couple of hotel rooms near the airport to spend as much time as possible without traveling from home and back.  Mister and I get there a wee bit early to set up the room for a Christmas party.  We have gifts and treats.  Also, Jen and some of her family have also booked rooms at the same place and we are all together for this fun.

Family Christmas 2024

 Merry Christmas!!!  We are so lucky this year to have family sharing the day with us.  Mister has a wonderful rib roast in the oven and we have been enjoying great conversation and fun.  It's time to share some gifts.

White Rock Walkin'

 Escape from the house for a bit has us walking at White Rock Lake.  As we are driving up to the location we normally park, I spot one of the eagles in a tree.  This is an unusual sighting for us, so we head over to take a couple of pictures, if possible.  No special camera equipment along today - just my phone.

Austin Getaway - Just Us Two - Day 3

 Ahhhh - it's another great morning in our little cabin in the woods.  Loving this break so much.  Tea and birds again, but a lot chillier today.  The sun is struggling to be out.
