Miami Port: Admiring the Beautiful View

I just want to share this beautiful picture that I took last month while I was on board of Norwegian Sky. This spectacular view is the heart of Miami. The city is beautiful but, like any other places, it is not perfect. If you hate the traffic, this is not your place. While waiting for our ship to depart Miami, some cruise ships sailed away ahead of us. The Port of Miami is known as the number one container Port in Florida. Right here, the modern cruising was born. The drawing board here is 50 feet deep dredge.
The Port of Miami is the World headquarters for Royal Caribbean International. Right here, tropical cruising exist all year round.
The home to most of world's reknowned cruise line such as Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and more.
I was just thankful for the blessings of seeing all these beautiful scenery. How I wish that I could bring my family and friends to experience these things with me (sighs). I need to win the lotto LOL.

You should try the Norwegian Cruise Line and drive down to Miami Port. The road trip is fun. have a good day everyone.

The Catch Of a Lifetime

What a statement right? The catch of a lifetime could be the word spoken by the living for this Sgt US Army who was laid to rest. Have you been to a military cemetery? Look at the grave marker and read the message engraved on it. You will be amazed as to the depth of the meaning in each one of them. I was not really paying attention until we went to the car and my husband was looking at this gravestone. I took the picture but out of curiosity, I started reading more and it was truly remarkable and unique.

The next time I visit, I will surely snap more pictures to blog about.

Grave Stone Message

My husband and I always take a moment to visit a cemetery, to pay tribute to the heroes who died defending the country. We visited a particular friend who served in Vietnam and Korea and as we are about to leave, my husband saw this message: THE CATCH OF A LIFETIME.It warms my heart to read the message because it flaunt a thousand meaning. My thought was, a wife conveyed the message saying this person was the most important one in the life of someone, the biggest love of someone's life perhaps? What do you think?

Memorial Day

We were in Mississippi last year when my husband received a devastating call, our closest friend had died. I had a flight set for Los Angeles the next day and there is no way that we can go for the burial the following day. This is our first visit and a sad moment seeing him in this place of eternal rest.We visited the Florida National Cemetery following Memorial Day to get away from the big crowd. His family visited him on Memorial Day but had to go home early because the activity inside the cemetery was too emotional. There were beautiful talks and presentation inside the cemetery and for others it's just too hard to handle. We invite the wife to go with us the next day so here we are together.We missed him so bad. He was my adopted father during our wedding and "always willing to lend a hand" kind-a friend to everyone. That quote was written on his grave marker or head stone chosen by his sons.
