Blah, blah, blah

Saw this movie Saturday night... Stephen loved it... but I was in the midst of an anxiety meltdown and couldn't enjoy it too much.

We're recently made a decision to go on a vacation... a much needed vacation. And when we think of relaxing, inexpensive vacations (especially during December/January) we think- a CRUISE! Because, really. The toughest decision to make is what time you want to hit the FREE snack bar and where do you want to eat- facing the ocean, next to the pool, or on your balcony in your underwear. We'll probably have to wait until school starts to get our syllabus' in order to know what day we could leave. Classes end December 14, 2009- then there are finals... The last cheap cruise (before the tourists hit) leaves December 13th.

I, personally, would prefer this one:

No. of Nights: 7 Nights Destination: Caribbean Ship: Celebrity Summit Departs: San Juan, Puerto Rico

Date Port/City Activity Description Sat, Dec 12 San Juan, Puerto Rico Depart 8:30 PM Sun, Dec 13 Philipsburg, St. Maarten Docked Arrive 7:30 AM Depart 6:00 PM Mon, Dec 14 Roseau, Dominica Docked Arrive 7:30 AM Depart 5:00 PM Tue, Dec 15 St. George's, Grenada Docked Arrive 7:30 AM Depart 5:00 PM Wed, Dec 16 Scarborough, Tobago Docked Arrive 7:30 AM Depart 5:00 PM Thu, Dec 17 Bridgetown, Barbados Docked Arrive 7:30 AM Depart 5:00 PM Fri, Dec 18 At Sea Sat, Dec 19 San Juan, Puerto Rico Arrive 7:00 AM

At just under $700/person- it's great! Unfortunately, it leaves December 12th and from San Juan. Airline tickets to San Juan run about $375 per person.

Hopefully it works out!
