Memories of Athena cruise ship
Al found the Athena cruise ship. The fact that the ship had been responsible for the sinking of the Andrea Dorian in 1956 added to the historical context of our trip. Al and I looked forward to restful nights on the water and days spent site seeing.
Our first day on the Athena, I decided to treat myself to an afternoon at the ship’s salon. I was going to thoroughly enjoy our rhapsody of the seas adventure. Al wanted to visit the casino. We decided to meet back at our room later. The ship’s salon had gift jars of facial masks. I picked up a jar of chocolate mask and one of avocado. I got to the room before Al and decided to get ready for dinner. Al arrived while I was in the bathroom. When I came out he was spitting something into a tissue. “I sure hope the food at dinner is better. This stuff is horrible” he said and pointed to the opened jars of facial masks sitting on a counter. Dinner was much better.
My Last Cruise
I am working practically all year round, so vacation is the best part of my life. Luckily, my wife has got a less strict working schedule, so we can go somewhere to spend holidays together.
