One of my earliest childhood memories occurred when I was about 5. One of my grandmas decided to have a family reunion. Somehow it was then decided that it would be a carnival cruise in the Caribbean Sea. I have only four vague memories from that trip. The first is in New Orleans before we got on the ship. We took one of the old street cars to the docks. The car cracked and squeaked like it was falling apart. But we made it to the dock and that’s all I remember. My second memory is of being up on the top of the ship standing next to the pool. For some reason I decided to look over the rail of the ship to the sea below. All I remember is pulling my head back very quickly because of the frightening height. My third memory is of my brother sitting on the beach holding a toy truck and licking all the sand off of it. He then decided that was to slow and just shoved his face in the beach and proceeded to injest about three pound. (About half of his weight). My last memory is waking up with my face in my pasta at dinner. I did this all seven nights of the cruise. I think I was tired from a very full day.
