The Queen is dead. Long live the King.

Sara Jean is a Royal watcher.
Me? Not so much. But I will admit to enjoying the military participation in this ceremony. It's been SO impressive I have to wonder... How long have they been practicing all this?
I'm sure they have special details to attend to funerals of dignitaries of VIP's in the U.K., just as we do.
But the numbers of troops involved getting the Queen to her final resting place!
Amazing. Beautiful.

We are on board the "Carnival Ecstasy". My wife has been glued to the TV since the old gal died, interested in every detail of what is going on over there.
"Look how beautiful Kate is!"
"Megan tugs Harry around like a puppet. They both look absolutely miserable!"
She was upset, thinking she'd miss some of the ceremony while on the ship and whined until I would purchase the Wifi package so she wouldn't miss a moment.
$$$$$ !

This morning we woke to find ourselves docked in Key West. So far, CBS has done a fairly good job of carrying the feed from Great Britain, so while in our room she's been watching there.
Sunbathing at the pool, her nose is stuck in her phone.

This is day 3 of a 10-day cruise.
And all is well.

How was Key West? I've always wanted to go there. Did you see Hemmingway's house or the descendants of his polydactyl (otherwise known as Hemmingway cats) cats?
Our cat, Mrs. Wo Fat, is polydactyl kitty. They have extra toes - usually five toes instead of four but it could be more.
How was the rest of the cruise? Did you have a good time?

I toured the Hemingway home in 1976 and saw the cats MK. Their paws look like catcher's mitts.
Key West has become VERY "touristy". LOTS of obviously NOT Key Westers walking the street. We didn't have a lot of time there, but enjoyed the short time we spent.
The cruise was a bit of a disappointment. (Maybe more on that later.)
