Hey friends!!

It is Odie back from my wonderful, busy, relaxing vacation. I had a fun filled week on the Carnival Paradise. I do appreciate the many prayers you all prayed for us. We did have rocky seas a lot of the times but thank God I did not feel sick at all. 

We had a whole lot of fun and I captured as much of it as I could in pictures. Here are the pictures from my iPhone for the week.

This is my favorite Carnival employee Fluffy. We played name that tune. They did not have any gospel music. She had to use my phone and gospel music so I did not play since I knew all the songs on it. I still received a trophy for the use of my iPhone.

Saturday- Time to go home 

We used Blue One Transportation to get to and from the cruise port in Tampa. I highly recommend them if you need a shuttle service in Tampa. Carlos is the owner of the company and he took great care of us. 

Saturday in Dallas airport Brice found me. He is from Little Rock Assembly of God in Waynesboro, Mississippi. He was on my flight back to Mississippi. 


Leaving DFW airport 


















It was a great week and I had a wonderful time. Even though the weather was a bit cool at times and the sea was a little rough, it was an awesome vacation.
