Countdown to Cruise Begins. . .

Five years ago our family went on an awesome cruise and we vowed to go on another one as soon as possible. It has taken five years for the "possible" to materialize but we are headed to the Caribbean three months from today !

You might think three months is a long time for a countdown but think of all the stuff you have to do to prepare for a cruise . First of all, you have to lose at least 20 pounds (you could possibly gain that all back during cruise week), then you have to try to get somewhat of a tan - you know, brown fat looks better than white fat any day. Then you have to save up lots of money for the purchase of trinkets that allure you from every port. Some of our family members have to save up money to throw away in the casino each night.

Then there is the shopping for the cute cruise clothes and ordering updated passports and deciding which shore excursions to take and deciding which shoes to take and deciding how to pack everything you own in a small bag that will fit under the bed in your stateroom and on and on . . . .

Three months and counting ----- I can't wait !

Now that we're starting to see signs of spring, I'm REALLY getting excited about the cruise! Although the thought of shopping for shorts and bathing suits is nauseating...
