see my blue long johns and Bliss' winter hat?
it was beautiful...just cold as hell
Because it wasn't what we had always dreamed our honeymoon would be...like a trip to Europe or Asia or anywhere that we have to fly to that isn't in the southeast United States...we have been planning that we would go on a rather big trip for our one year anniversary. We seriously talked about a few places (Curaçao, St. Lucia or Europe) but in the end realized that we still don't have a ton of money. The savings plan that we had originally planned gave way to having pay bills. We would be able to afford to go to these places, but not have the kind of trip you want to have when there. We want to be able to do stuff and eat good food and drink the night away and not have to watch every penny.
SO...after lots of long talks and looking at prices for tickets and our work schedules, we decided to go on a cruise! I know its not nearly as exotic as those other places but we get out of Macon, we go to 2 other countries, we get to eat all we want and since the price is right, we will be able to do some excursions and drink our frilly drinks with all the little umbrellas that we want :)
We'll be heading down to my mom and Jeff's house on Friday, Oct 23rd after work. Saturday we'll be departing from Tampa. Since its so close to Mom's house, she's going to bring us so we don't have to pay to park our car! YAY! Sunday, our actual anniversary is a day at sea. They know its our anniversary so we'll see if they do anything fancy for us. Monday we go do Grand Cayman Tuesday Cozumel, Wednesday is another day at sea and Thursday we get back to Tampa! We thought that 5 day would be better then 7 since the 7 day cruises get back in to port on Sunday and we would have to drive home and go to work the next day. This way, we can go home and have a few days or stay there for a night or 2 and visit.
We're very excited!!! Can't wait to get to this:
