I’m not a fan of people who always complain about how busy they are. And yet quite often, I am that person. Rather hypocritical, I realize. But the Russian launch accident last week has kept me OMG. SO. BUSY. at work. On top of that, my body is diligently trying to fight off something-or-other, as evidenced by a sore lymph node, sore throat, and general body aches. I am trying to treat myself well so I can get over whatever minor bug it is, because:
I am going on vacation next week! And I am SO READY to be on that vacation, where I hope to see a lot of this:
Yep, we are going back to the Caribbean and will be passing right by the lovely area where we spent our honeymoon a couple years ago. But this time we’re going on a cruise! We leave from New Orleans and will be making stops in Costa Maya, Belize City, Roatan and Cozumel. On top of that, a few of my old friends from college are joining us — it’s a 10-year “reunion” trip because we all went to Europe together in 2001 right after graduation.
I’ve never been on a cruise before and to be honest, I wasn’t feeling particularly enthusiastic about it at first. But now that our departure is imminent, I’m getting excited — even though I’m not entirely sure what to expect. Any advice on how to make the most of it?
That picture is to die for!
Do everything that the boat offers. When I went, my youngest sister and I did everything – learned dances, how to tie different knots, how to play shuffleboard, hung out by the pool, explored the ship. My other siblings stayed in the room & watched movies ALL DAY. How boring! And it’s not like they were sea sick, which would have been understandable.
Your vacation sounds fabulous! I’ve never been on a cruise, but I recommend getting a massage on the first day to accelerate the relaxation phase.
9 if by sea…
