We woke up at 5 am. We took our showers and then headed down for the free breakfast buffet. Amazing coffee!!! The breakfast was very nice. The pineapple was great. I had a breakfast burrito and some bacon with fruit. Two cups of coffee and OJ.
After breakfast we went back to the room but as usual I was bored. I ran back to the internet cafe and spend 30 minutes attempting to post 3 times. Yikes. Very slow posting.
After I ran back up and we packed up and went on to the next hotel. We stayed at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I called them and they said they currently had about 5 rooms so we hurried on to the hotel. We were given a wonder deluxe room. I have to say that the QM have various rooms they classify as Deluxe rooms. They are all shapes and sizes and we lucked out and got the biggest room layout.
After checking in we headed on the free bus to Long Beach Shoreline. We walked around and then had lunch at PF Chang. It was awesome. Had a glass of wine with my lunch. Oops it was only 11 am. OH well my internal clock told me it was 2 pm verses 11 am. lol Then we headed on to downtown long beach and bought wine for the cruise.
It was a lot of fun walking around the shoreline village and downtown. I felt very safe the entire time. It was also neat to see so many people dressed for Halloween. Where I live very few actually dress up.
We had a lot of texting coming in to us since a few were already there waiting us to return to the QM.
Around 2 we headed back to the QM. It was wonderful to see Chirs and Kevin and Reggie. I had not seen Chris and Kevin since the Freedom of the Seas 2 years before.
We settled her room and then headed up for drinks at the Observance Bar. We stayed there too long and wound up just roaming around the ship very little and having dinner with Reggie (our TA) at the Promenade Cafe. We had Mahi Mahi Tacos, New England Clam Chowder and Potato Skins. We shared it and it was plenty for both of us.
I think we were in bed by 10 pm. lol At least it was later than the night before.
