Another beautiful morning to have coffee on the balcony and enjoy the view. This is definitely the best part of my morning.

After breakfast and more coffee, we decide to go across the street to the resort’s beach area before heading to town. It is such a beautiful day outside and there is absolutely no one at the beach. Peace and quiet except for the waves!!!
But now we are on a mission. We are going in search of a whale tail. And we should have no trouble finding one since there will definitely be a Carnival ship in port today.

After walking around and taking more pictures, we head to The Original Mexican Cafe for the morning/breakfast/brunch meet and greet. This is the first time we have been here and I must say, we will definitely make this a regular stop on all future trips to the island. We had a lot of fun meeting everyone. Even Fernando deFrog Cruz made a new friend, Spotty!!!
Now it is time for us to watch the Carnival Conquest leave Galveston for the last time. She will be headed to her new home port of New Orleans. There were a lot of people at Pier 21 watching her leave. We sailed on her in August 2010 and had a wonderful cruise on her. I’m glad we had the opportunity to sail on her before her relocation.
The evening meet and greet was held at The Spot. There was a large turn out for this gathering of our Facebook group. It was fun to actually meet the people we have been chatting with for months!!!
We made a rather early night of things and returned to the condo. We have a very early wake-up call for the next morning. Something we do not want to miss!!! Find out what that is in the next installment!!!!!
