Since we have decided to take sailing lessons I thought I would get a jump start on my learning. I never knew there were so many different names for the sails. Oh my! Not only is there a Main Sail there is a Main royal. There are topsails, inner jibs, outer jibs, a fore royal. So much information, lucky for me I am as sharp as a tack.

Since Bob and I have decided to look into purchasing our boat, we have decided to take sailing lessons. Bob is much more enthused about sailing than I am. Although, I must admit the thought of being on the ocean in control of a lovely sailboat is very tantalizing. We start our lessons next week and I will tell you everything I learn.

Our Dinner Cruise was absolutely wonderful. The food was fresh and oh so delecatable! Bob and I have found a new way to cruise when time is short. I think we may need to look into the purchase of a boat of our own.

Bob and I are getting ready for the drive to Key West. This will be the first cruise of this type we have taken. So, I will let you know how it goes!

This is what we are doing tomorrow evening!

Once I go on this lovely cruise, do I have to come back? I get more and more excited. I think we should take a short cruise somewhere BEFORE the baby gets here. Ha, ha!

So far it looks like we will be using Norwegian Cruise Line this time around, for 11 days in Hawaii. Tenatively we are looking at February, enough time to make over the baby and just the time to enjoy the sunshine. I will keep you up to date with more details as I finalize plans.

Here are the top choices for the new one. If it’s a boy: Brecc, Alexander, or Sebastian. If it’s a girl: Cathryn, Alexandrea, or Helen. I myself think Carol would be a most lovely name . Boy or girl!

It has occured to me that I forgot to mention when our newest family member will arrive! He/she is due sometime around December 25th. So our cruise to Hawaii will not only be relaxing, it will also be warm!

I have made one thing very clear, the Big Island is a definate must see on our cruise. I have never been near a volcano and the thought alone makes me full of anticipation. Such beauty and destruction living together! Still looking for the perfect cruise and knowing the Big Island is a main attraction should make things much easier.

Still waiting for our grandchild to arrive! I am finding myself becoming very impatient. In the meantime I am doing much research into Hawaii, and what cruise we will pick. I think we should take a long cruise and hit all the islands and darling Bob agrees. I am excited about the baby, the cruise and all the restaraunts are moving along very well. For today, I haven’t a care in the world.

I like this article because it really highlights the diverse destinations available on cruises. And they have become so affordable! (more…)

Just a quick update. While awaiting the arrival of our newest grandchild we have decided our next cruise will be Hawaii.I am very excited as I did not see enough of this beautiful place during our very short stay. I will keep you posted as to our itinerary and the newest bundle of joy’s arrival.
