Almost Cruising…
February 26, 2008 by admin
Have I said lately just how much I hate the midwest winters…well I do, hate it that is. I believe this has been the longest winter that I can ever remember. I’ve lived here my whole life, and I can’t ever remember a winter lingering on this long. It’s 50 one day and 20 the next. Snow one day and gone the next….ARGGGH! So, in less than two weeks my pasty white butt will be lying on the deck of the “Freedom of Seas” Royal Caribean cruise ship. We set sail on Sunday, March 9th for 7 days to paradise. Ryan, Spencer (his A$$ better be on the plane with us) and little Brae-Brae. My plan for those 7 days is to do absoloutely nothing. Lounging by the pool, sipping on lava flows, getting a tan. Perhaps I’ll do a two-tank dive with my dive partner, Ryan or it might be the dive master. Ryan doesn’t like diving with me much, I take a lot longer to get down, my have issues with my ears equalizing and I tend to “allegedly” float about 10′ above Ryan at all times. I enjoy diving, it’s the going down part I hate.
On our cruise we are hitting 3 ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas and St. Marten (I believe those are the ports). I hope Braelyn is good and the she enjoys traveling this time as much as she enjoyed it to Colorado last weekend. She was amazing on the plane and even better hanging out with us. We had some of our best nights with her.
Spencer and his friend Phillip are cruising with us. Phillip is a great kid, and I think my favorite friend of his, next to Gabe Karlin. Phillip is so excited about the cruise. He is meeting us in Miami, his sis lives there and he is headed down there a few days before getting on the ship to hang with her.
So, let’s see I need to do some of the following prior to the cruise…get some key areas of my body waxed (OUCH!), tan, figure out what my post-preggers body can squeeze into (and no comment from you honey)…and I am sure a few other things.
Okay…need to start dinner!
