Day 1 of trip, October 26,2011

Today we woke up in our hotel room in Paris at 6 am, hurried and showered (I did not wash my hair that day).  All my hair products were in my suitcase.  We took the hotel shuttle to the airport  Charles De Gaulle, France(air-france) to Rome, Italy.  Left at 9:45 am and landed in Rome at 1:10 pm.  We were picked up by the NCL bus line to go to the Cruise ship (Norwegian cruise line).  We were both so tired from our busy day yesterday in Paris that I had a hard time staying awake on the bus.  We got to the ship and boarded, I layed down for awhile till the ship did their "Fire drill".  We had to leave our room for the drill.  We ate a barbeque meal outside by the pool and the ship launched at 6 pm.  We walked around the ship to see where everything was located and get familiar with the different areas.  Later that night I had a wonderful Crepe dessert with fresh whipped cream, choclated chips and almonds.  It was so delicious, I can only imagine how many CALORIES it was.  We went back to cabin and watched a movie and went to bed.
