This year we decided to do something different for Thanksgiving. If you have not read my book “Us Vs The World” you do not know that Thanksgiving is the only holiday that Nancy and I have not been separated from each other for some reason or other. We have missed birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, New Years, all of them, except Thanksgiving. It’s a long story, buy my book on Amazon and you can read all about it.
This year we decided to take a cruise and have someone else do the cooking, and … the cleanup. In the past we have have enjoyed Thanksgiving at other people houses (Friends, relatives, work mates, etc), we have had these same groups of people to our house for Thanksgiving, one year we spent it in Hawaii, one year we invited our German Landlord and her family to this “American” holiday, and we have enjoyed Thanksgiving in fine restaurants. One year (last year) we rented an Airbnb in Haysville, North Carolina and we packed and hauled all the parts of the traditional dinner there. Nancy made a superb dinner but it was a lot of work.
So this year we opted for the no work, no clean up, and a good meal plan. Cruises are noted for their fine cuisine so we decided to go that route. We found a short five day cruise out of Jacksonville, Florida on Carnival and booked that. What follows is a few pictures of the ship and where we went. It was not a overly interesting trip as it went only to Nassau and a private Island but it did serve a great Thanksgiving meal. I was even able to have a double portion just so I could once again, over eat on Thanksgiving. Here are the pictures:
That’s it. I didn’t take many pictures. It was a trip to give Thanks for all we have and have a Thanksgiving diner. No picture of the dinner … you will have to take my word for it that it was good.
It was a good Thanksgiving. We met new friends, had a few drinks, enjoyed some entertainment, and we were together.
