Cruise Ship Fun 2007

We boarded the ship on Sunday. And we wouldn't reach our first port until Tuesday so it was almost two days on board the ship wandering around and finding different entertainment. Super fun.

New Orleans 2007

Our cruise ship departed from New Orleans so we drove down from Charlottesville and tried to see some sights before boarding.

Brian's friend Victoria lives in New Orleans so she met up with us and showed us around. This was my second time in New Orleans, but the first time was New Years Eve 1999, and it was pretty crazy. This was nice little Southern brunch tour.

It was also all of our first visit to the city after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina flooding of the city. Victoria says that the city still hasn't fully recovered, though the parts of the city we were in looked very nice.

Cruise Ship Pre-Party 2007

For Spring Break, a few of us decided to go on a cruise! I'm so excited, I've never been on a cruise before! Since the people that decided to go don't all know each other that well, we decided to go on a little pre-cruise dinner date together to get to know each other a little better. Obviously, I'm already besties with Brian, Katy, and Sarah, but I'm just getting to know Paul and Mihai, and I think I'm the person in the group that most knows Sarah. Anyway, we will clearly all be besties by the time we get back from the best trip ever.
