Thursday December 6, 2007 @ a very early dark hour the entire office met at the Jacksonville airport to catch a cute little Delta jet to Atlanta, GA.  Here is a picture of the sun coming up over the Atlanta airport.  I would not be wise of me to post pictures of team members who got up at 4AM.  In Atlanta we hit Starbucks and headed for the big jet that would take us to Orlando.  After a delay at the Orlando airport our Disney Cruise Line motor coach was ready and took us to the ship.  We watched cartoons and rested on the bus.  We were scheduled for a reception in Studio Sea aboard the Disney Wonder at 1pm and were all anticipating sailing from the Port Canaveral at 4pm.  The drinks at the reception were special.  There was also anticipation in the air because the space shuttle was scheduled for blast off at 3PM.  The Wonder would be the perfect place to watch the launch. 

I did not get any pictures at the reception.  I was too busy.  If you have never sailed you may be surprised to learn the Coast Guard does require a life boot drill before the ship can leave port.  All the passages and crew take part.  Servers, actors, and cabin stewards all have safety responsibilities.  Everyone looked super in orange.
