it's my first cruise and i'm so excited i can barely contain my glee. i will be leaving tomorrow morning with my friend danel, twin sister faith and our sister joy. mexican rivierra for seven days? yes please...
it's been more than a year since i've taken a larger lump of time off. a day here and a day there gets routine after awhile, although every moment of every vacation day is equally appreciated and relished with mornings spent sleeping in, some relaxation and then finding some low maintenance friend to enjoy the day with.
so as thoughts of this cruise run through my head, i really have no idea what to expect other than what's in the cruise brochure and confirmation letters we receive. disappointingly, i've dealt with a loss of creativity in my girlish brain... all i can think about is romantic adventures... and it's all leonardo's fault.
when i think of my cruise, i can't stop thinking titanic. all my stinkin facebook status's in the last week have been things like:
"this time next week, i do believe i'll queue up some celine dion on the ipod, stand on the front of my cruise ship and wait for leonardo to come help me 'fly'..."
and
"what if I get to dance below ship on my cruise with a band of handsome ruffians just like Rose got to do on Titanic?"
it's just so amusing. to think about being stuck on a big boat in the middle of the ocean with thousands of strangers... to ponder the new temporary (or long term) friendships that could be struck up... adventures with random people from all different walks of life... it's so exciting!
here's hoping i don't get stung by jellyfish while snorkeling, baked on a beach for lack of sunscreen or fall off a mountain while riding a horse up to waterfalls in puerto vallarta...
see you on the flip side!
if i can blog my adventures from the ship, i'll try...
