The Love Boat

Where has this month gone? It has been a crazy month so far. We knew Malori would be going on a cruise in March every since October. We decide we wanted to go but would book our own tickets and not go with the school. We weren't sure who all could go and so we delayed getting tickets. Finally the first part of March we booked our tickets just a week and a half before we were to leave. We got a confirmation, and emails the next day. Then we get a phone call stating we lost our tickets. They didn't come out an totally admit the problem but they over booked it. So in one week we were to be on a boat that we took vacation time for and to watch our daughter preform on a ship, but we didn't have tickets. We did get our names on a waiting list and called 3 to 4 times every day to check. We were told if we showed up at the dock and someone didn't show up we could get their room. So we decided to take a chance.

Wednesday Kevin, Cortni, and I took off for New Orleans. We arrived at the port around 11 and checked in. They put our names on the top of the list and told us to come back at 3. Everyone is suppose to be checked in by 2:30 and the ship was scheduled to leave at 4. We walked around the French Quarters for awhile and then headed back to the port.

It was about 10 till 3 when we checked in again. We were told to wait and they would see if they could find a room. At about 3:45 we were told to head up to check in, they weren't sure yet but just in case wanted us to be ready. We left our suitcases by the front and went through security and to the registration. The workers were all leaving (because everyone else was on the boat) but the manager had to call and finally found us a room on a sold out ship.

We were trying to check in but then they realized our luggage wasn't going to make it so Kevin and Cortni took off back out of the terminal to get it. Then back through the security carrying all of our luggage while I continued to get us book. We then ran through the tunnel and made it on the ship about 4:10.
