:-) Vacation :-)

I have been patiently waiting for this short week at work to end.

Finally it has.

It is vacation time, and I am very excited.

We are going to warmer places on a very large ship. This is my first time on a cruise, and my mind has been laying out the suitcase for a few weeks now.

To go from winter ware to pretty well no ware at all is just fine by me, but it does take some planning especially with the weight restictions implimented by air ports these days. You can only have under fifty pounds of baggage per person.

Now, I am a woman and we tend to over pack for the chance that just maybe, half the population around us will need to borrow something we have with us. “Hey”, that may seem funny, but if you need a safey pin for that split in the pants, just look for the lady with the piles of luggage. She just might be able to help you out.

As for a man’s way of packing, a couple pairs of socks, unders, jeans, shirts, a suit, shorts, shoes, and toilettres, and they are ready to go. “BUT, do they have a safety pin?” “NO.” ” Not important.” You are looking for that lady with the luggage incase anything should erupt.
We ladies on the other hand have a large variety of the must bring items.

The plane ride will be my second, and I will be like a pro with that part of the trip at least. As for the rest well we will follow the lead of the couple we are going with. I know I will have a fun time.

I did the vertual ship tour on my computer, and have many things I want to do while on the ship. I have a fear of hieghts, and my desire is to sit in one of the hot tubes that hangs off the side of the ship. You are suspended over the ocean.

“So wish me luck with that one.”

It is good to at least try to over come the things you fear. And what a better way than in a hot tub while on a cruise.

My camera, and I will be taking photos of all kinds of events, places, people, and sights. I also have plans to keep a journal of the trip, and share some of the fun times with others.

Though I am excited, I am sad to have to leave my dogs, and cats home. “After all who will share half my meal with me while I am gone?” ” And what will I do with my half of the bed not taken over by pets?” “I guess I will just have to grin and bare it. ”

I have several very fantastic people taking care of them while I am gone, so I will not worry as much.

” Thanks Family.”

For anyone going on your vacation, I wish you many happy times, and a safe return home.

“Till later.” “Bye, Bye.”
