Our Romantic Getaway

I don't have much time to write about my vacation at work, but I'll sum it up in one word - FABULOUS. Here are the pictures to document just how much fun we had.

Day 2: Bahamas, Atlantis Resort & Casino.

We got really good at taking our own pictures.

My first piña colada of the trip. Could I look happier?

Next stop, the aquarium at Atlantis. The fish loved N.

Holy octopus.

Day 3: CocoCay Beach, Bahamas.

N was really excited about the BBQ for lunch.

It was really windy, so we headed back to the ship.

Before dinner. N likes these pictures (because he looks great), so I put them up. I'm not a fan, but the mudslides look delish.

Day 4: Key West, Florida.

We hit up Sloppy Joe's for a margarita (10:00am).

Even more drinks at lunch.

And the Schooner Wharf Bar did us in.

The Blackberry and a cigar - perfection.

And somehow we made it back to the ship.

THE END :)

Packing Is My Worst Nightmare

I will be in Bermuda next week! I will be cruising out of Boston with my immediate family, my grandparents and my uncle and heading for the tropics. The 7 of us traveled together last June to Ireland and it was absolutely amazing - however, that trip was about visiting the "homeland" and this trip is strictly R&R.

A few things I'm looking forward to: eating dessert at every meal, sun, sand, piña coladas and the towels they contort to look like animals.

I have been trying to pack all week. I have gotten as far as throwing my summer clothes on my bedroom floor. They are not going to pack themselves, so I've dedicated tonight to organizing what I really need. For the normal person, this would not take the whole evening, but I'm an "over-packer" and I almost always forget a necessity - think toothbrush or contact lens case.

Wish me luck and think of me next week enjoying a piña colada with a pink umbrella.
