The Cruise Edition

This week I will tell you about our upcoming vacation. Our house sitter is ready, but we have not told the dogs as they all seem to go into a little depression the first few days we are gone. Thank goodness we have such a great sitter, as she gets them feeling good and by the time we get home, they have hardly missed us.

1. We are taking a cruise in the western Caribbean. Places we have not been before.
2. Here is a picture of the itinerary. I think it will be fun to have two sea days to rest and relax. Hubby is not so sure.



3. We’re going to fly down to Miami to see an old friend of ours. We have not seen Benn since Shubi became ill six years ago.
4. I will be going swimming with the Dolphins in Grand Cayman. I plan to get a small waterproof camera to take pictures. Yes. Me and Flipper!
5. Both Roatan and Belize are places I have wanted to go and see. We’ll be taking tours at both places.
6. We are going out to the Ruins in Cozumel on a tour. I hear they are really amazing. Don’t worry I will take a lot of pictures!
7. The Ship we are sailing on is The Crown Princess. And before you ask, yes, this is the ship that has had so many cases of Noro-Virus.
8. However, I am choosing to be positive. Hubby and I will be just fine!
9. I did visit Rite Aid yesterday and purchased Pepto Bismol, Imodium, and hand sanitizer. I understand that kleenex is also helpful, as is antibacterial soap and a nail brush!
10. I got my mail yesterday and found a Jury Summons for the end of my cruise. I went right down to the court house today and I have asked for a deferment. I sure hope they have pity on me!
11. Hubby and I really need this vacation. It’s like a little breath of fresh air!
12. When I get back, we start the count down to grand-parent-hood!
13. Okay cruise! I’m ready for you! Are you ready for me!!!
