At 3:45AM, my alarm clock began to sing. Now, if you all know me – I am NOT a morning person in the slightest, but Cass convinced me that this would be an opportunity that would be stupid to pass up – I mean, how many people get to sail into New York City at 4 o’clock in the morning past the Statue of Liberty on the 10th of September? Unfortunately, I was a bit bitter simply because my camera was sent in for repairs so I couldn’t use a good camera to get some shots – but my little point and shoot got a few semi-decent shots. Thought I would share them with you all!
First off….
Cass and I at 4AM (after four attempts at a half-decent shot!)
My favorite shot of the sail in…
Lady Liberty
The skyline was so beautiful!
I didn’t make it off the ship today simply because I had to work at noon, we had Coast Guard Inspection AND security was very tight because of the 10th anniversary of September 11th. I knew I wouldn’t have enough time to enjoy myself in the city, so I didn’t want to risk it. Maybe next time. Hopefully next cruise, I’ll get some great shots during the sail out with the sun setting.
Great quote I came across today…
"As I love and accept myself exactly as I am, right here and right now with all my so-called flaws and imperfections, I find it easier to accept others in the same way. I am learning to release the need to control others and allow them the freedom to be who they are. I am learning to create peace within, and am doing the best I can with the understanding, knowledge, and awareness that I have at this time." - Louise L. Hay
