Embarkation day!

Spent a very restful night in my room at the Hyatt, a big difference from sleeping in Millie of course! Met more fellow cruisers at breakfast, then we had a meet-and-greet + pre-cruise briefing led by CJ the Singles Travel International concierge for this cruise. There was just enough time, before I had to check out, to go look for a store that sold lottery tickets. The Mega Millions lottery was up to about $640M and I wanted to buy a couple of tickets. I'm one of those people who only play when the winnings get big enough to make the news. The Whole Foods across the hotel did not have them, but I found a little convenience store that did. Mission accomplished! I doubt I would win anything given the odds, but I can say I played. Embarkation went pretty smoothly, we were onboard by about 3 pm. I headed straight to the buffet since we missed lunch, got my luggage and unpacked. And then we sailed away just before sunset. I got to the upper deck and got some great photos. What a classic sunset!
