Life is good! cruising is my favorite way to vacation. One thing I have to say for cruise ships, they are on time, no delays, no baggage that gets lost, the service is wonderful, the food good and the booze everywhere. Activities, activities and more activities onboard. It never seizes to amaze me how the staff keeps smiling. Of course, there were some draw backs. For example: stomach viruses from the first day out at sea. Of course it didn’t put a damper on vacation until they announced we had to clean our hands from room to room (the ship provided the supplies) and they didn’t allow the passengers to take their own food in the buffet areas. It got really interesting when toward the end of the cruise the Captain claimed virus cases were down but now they were providing us with tissues to push the elevator buttons with and we weren’t allowed anymore library books or games to be taken.
Okay, okay, so now youre saying, oh Pearl, that doesn’t sound like fun! but it was. It was still fun. I came this close <> to winning a cruise for two, this close < > to winning $100,000. Trust me, it was fun. I love sitting by the pool getting a tan, listening to the band, drinking pina colada’s then pulling into some Island and going snorkling. What more could u want? There were lots of people to talk to if you’re lonely and lots of drinking buddies to be found. If you just wanted to sit and read, you could. I actually read three books during the eleven days. More than I’ve read in the past three months (except for anatomy).
At the same time, it feels great to be home again. Cruising is so different from flying. For one thing, I don’t feel exhausted at the end of a cruise as I do after a plane ride. Sitting in an airport for three hours before you even go anywhere is not my idea of fun. Anyway, gotta go catch up on my snail mail, email and parents.
