OLYMPIC GHOSTS FLOAT TO BAHAMAS

Salud, Kids!!

Even Florida residents need a winter break. This first photo comes up later, so remember it.

Ignoring your squint-eye at that statement, we'll just move on and yap about a little trek the Four-B's made to the Bahamas a few days ago aboard one of the Celebrity ships.

Yeah, we did the famous Straw Market and half of our little troupe beach-bummed, but that's NOT what we seriously need to focus our bleary eyes on at the moment.

Take a look at the RMS Olympic, sister ship (it didn't sink) to the Titanic, and think of ghosts from Restaurants-Past.
Can't you just picture the elegant and richly-rich wining, dining and dancing...surrounded by heavy wooden walls and glorious beveled windows and mirrors? Close your eyes and you can probably hear the music playing and the glasses tinkling...everyone dressed in fine linen, lace and silk (even some of the women).

If your imagination is still on weekend-mode, picture the banquet room on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World. There you go, now you're getting it.

Now, take a gander at Celebrity, Millennium. Close your eyes and try to imagine the same thing. Forget that most people live in shorts and flip-flops while making the journey to the Bahamas.

Ghosts from a ship that has sailed on to the shipyard in the heavens, twirled all around us as we dined amid flaming food and attentive, well, attendants.

Kids, the fabulous, Olympic, lives on in small ways aboard the Millennium. I wouldn't kid ya. Well, I would, but I'm not this time.

When you step your designer-clad-self(go with me here)into the Olympic restaurant on Millennium, it is first class for many reasons. So, you pay extra-it's worth it!

You are surrounded byfabulous service, stellar food
and glorious paneling, glass and mirrors from the one and only, RMS Olympic.You got it!! Celebrity rescued lovely pieces of that lovely ship and they now sail on.

Yes, we were CERTAIN we saw ghosts from the Olympic staring at us, so we lifted a glass to them and sailed on.

Not to disappoint you zany IU readers, I tossed in the usual Bahamas kinda thing for your viewing (or tomato tossing) pleasure...complete with proper foot attire!



Thank you, Celebrity, for keeping a bit of the past in the present!

See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual.
