Lunch with Friends

After a wonderful night’s sleep where I didn’t wake up until 10:00 am, I finally began to feel like my old self. Although we missed breakfast, coffee was still available, and Tim was so sweet to bring up a cup for me.

My friends Herbert and Margaret drove up from Miami and picked us up for lunch at the Islamorada Fish Company. The coconut crusted shrimp was delicious, as was the warm loaf of bread.

It was great to catch up with them and compare recent cruise stories. Herbert loves to cruise as much as Tim and I do, and Margaret often sails with him. Unlike us, however, they usually sail with Oceania. As we were leaving the restaurant, I committed to visit Miami sometime this winter so we could spend more time together.

After returning to the hotel, I amazed myself by sleeping for much of the afternoon. I was finally able to completely relax, and I guess more sleep was just what I needed. Now, I can board the ship tomorrow completely refreshed. It turned out to be a perfect day.
