Living the Dream Year 4 Day 180 – Clifty Hill 2 – Day 3 of 16-night KY to New Orleans and Day 2 of 14-night Brilliance of the Seas Caribbean cruise – At sea traveling the Mississippi river from New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico

Year 4, Day 180, “Living the Dream”. Sunday, 10/27/2024. Clifty Hill 2 – Day 3 of 16-night KY to New Orleans and Day 2 of 14-night New Orleans Carribean cruise on Brilliance of the Seas. At sea today. We departed New Orleans at 1am. The crescent city connection bridge is huge and spans the width of the Mississippi River. Well worth taking a photo as it’s significant. The Crescent City Connection (CCC) was formerly known as the Greater New Orleans Bridge (GNO). It refers to twin cantilever bridges crossing over the Mississippi River. They are located in the parishes of Jefferson, Orleans, and St. Bernard. The Crescent City Connection ranks the fifth-longest cantilever bridges in the world and the farthest downstream bridge on the Mississippi River

Our luggage was the only luggage in the hallway at 6am. People must have stayed up late. Luggage had not come at 10:30 pm last night when we went to bed.

We were still in the Mississippi river as we were eating breakfast. I had no idea it takes about 7-8 hours to travel down the Mississippi River. Then you get into the Gulf of Mexico and sail in international waters. We hung around all day and watched the ocean,

did a little casino time, a little eating, a little drinking, and a lot of socializing.

Great first day onboard with fantastic dinner table mates.
