So the only thing we have had to gripe about for game 1 is the lack of grass on the boulevard, the nachos and the way the announcer reads the score. I can live with that.

My 7 day Western Caribbean cruise turned into a 13 day Western (and Eastern) Caribbean cruise. Had excellent Nachos at Paradise Beach in Cozumel

They looked great, but I'll pass on how you had to get them, and the duration of the visit...

Glad you got back safe.

2 free Cocktail Happy Hours plus late nite free booze for about 2 hours one nite plus rest of drinks were 1/2 price or $27 daily booze package. I only spent about $75 for extra 5 days. They had free transfers to Bayport in Miami, free transfers to airport if you needed it, they extended internet package for free, added 3 new comedians. We really didn't deserve much-its not RCCL's fault a Hurricane hit. The ones who got screwed were those who attempted to make it to Galveston the next week during storm-for some reason RCCL was telling customers they were going to make it into Port when its was a closed Port and meteorologists were predicting 50 inches of rain and widespread floods

That may have been the largest college band to visit Ford. They brought 380 members, which tops the Aggie Band and any other I can think of. Took them 15 minutes to clear the stands onto the field.

Oh, one more thing we have learned from the first game:

SMU is still technically in the National Championship hunt, and Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor are not.
