Rick's Norwegian Dream Cruise - 10/10 - 10/17 2004

Packing up in Gordon's Car and getting ready to ride 8 hours to New Orleans
Looks like we have some clouds moving in.
The air conditioning in the car broke down and the car was overheading so we had to stop at a Firestone place and have the radiator flushed. Gordon talks to Wynn on my cell phone in the waiting room.

We made it to the Horseshoe Casino in Louisana and were going to stop for dinner.

Gordon and Clayton fast asleep at a hotel we found to spend the night for $30 bucks.
A huge traffic jam we got stuck in for over an hour. Couldn't get off the bridge because we were surrounded by water.
people started getting out of their cars to stretch their legs.
Finally got to the river walk mall and decided to wander and see the sights. Raining like hell with a big storm that came in.
Riverwalk mall and our cruise ship parked behind it. It came back into port early because of the storms.

More boat photos. "Norwegian Dream" can't get on it till tomorrow (Sunday) morning. Was originally supposed to get on Sunday afternoon.
more boat pictures..
Off to the french quarter to wander around. Clayton's never seen it before. My only interest is in going to the Voodoo shop.
The following moring, finally on the ship.
Me sitting on the top deck getting some sun reading my Macintosh magazines and listening to some cool music on my iPod. Didn't realize I would get a horrible sunburn from it all.
Sticking my tongue out at Gordon taking my picture.
