Cruising!

I'm so excited....that I just can't hide it.....I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

Name that song - you'll be humming it all day now.  You're welcome.

J. and I are booked for a 7 night cruise to the Mexican Riviera - departing Long Beach on March 19th and returning March 26th.  We'll celebrate our 27th anniversary on board!

We've often thought of cruising and it turns out the 'free' cruise deal we got from the casino was a pretty good deal.  We have upgraded to a mini-suite - for comfort of more space and a balcony - and were both pleasantly surprised at the low cost of the upgrade.  We were thinking it would be double what it was so yay!

There will be other charges - always are - but all things considered, it's a relatively inexpensive vacation.  We have credit on Southwest and will use those to get to LAX (most likely) which will save us 8 hours in the car each way.  Road trip sounds fun but since we have the credits, we're going to look into it.  (Or not - we just chatted and we think it's about one week too late to use the credits - they were good for a year and it will be just past that..though we hope to use them some other way and/or transfer them to B. to use to get home in November).

Our first two days are 'at sea' (we travel all the way down to Acapulco and then come back up, stopping at ports along the way).  Casino time!  I'm going to LOVE it!
