Day 22
Merritt, June, Mae and I left Chris behind and went on the Wet Vegas Casino Cruise out of Port Canaveral. The plan was to go to the Daytona Dog Races once we got off the boat. The security to get on the boat was amazing, much more thorough than a plane flight! Once aboard, Mae quickly grabbed a machine and waited until we were 13 miles out before the machines were turned on.
It wasn't long before Mae was grabbing her machine for another reason.....to hold on!! She had already taken one of her "dizzy pills" but to no avail! Only 4 hours to go until we returned to port. We eventually got her down one flight to the lower deck where it wasn't quite so bad for her. Needless to say it was a very tough trip for Mae.
The staff was excellent and they made sure that they had a wheelchair standing by and Mae was first off the boat.
We never made it to the Dogs. By evening, Mae was pretty much back to normal. Probably a better recovery than I would have made in similar circumstances.
Oh yeah, the machines sucked and we all left donations on board.
