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?

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…
