Today, we leave for another adventure. Really, our first adventure of 2012, which, in my opinion, is way over due – we are three & a half months into the year already! This morning we’re flying to Florida (first time flying JetBlue – awesome thing about this trip #1) & spending some time in Ft. Lauderdale with a good friend of mine who I don’t get to see very often. Then, tomorrow morning, we board the Celebrity Equinox.
On Saturday & Sunday, we’ll be spending two relaxing, blissful days at sea…
& I’ll also be celebrating my 30th birthday.
(if I type it small, that means it’s not happening, right?)
We’ll spend a week hitting up islands in the eastern & southern Caribbean:
Monday: St. Thomas, exploring on our own
Tuesday: St. Kitts, spending time at the fabulous St. Kitts Marriott Beach Resort
Wednesday: Barbados, a place you already know I have a soft spot in my heart for. On what will probably be our last trip to the island for a very long time, we’ll be spending time with friends, laughing, lunching, & drinking a lot of Banks beer.
Thursday: Dominica, sea kayaking & exploring this lush island
We’ll finish out our cruise with two more days at sea, before arriving back to Ft. Lauderdale early Monday morning & flying back to DC. Oh yeah, & then on Tuesday I’ll be starting a new job.
*whew!*
But don’t worry, things won’t be quiet while I’m gone. You’ll be hearing from some great guest bloggers who will be writing about their favorite warm weather destinations.
I know cruising isn’t for everyone, but it definitely is for me. I’m really looking forward to this trip as a time to relax, reconnect with my husband, celebrate life, recharge between jobs, & read a few books (on my itinerary: Tina Fey’s Bossypants & Heather Poole’s new flight attendant memoir Cruising Attitude).
I can’t wait to come back & share all our crazy stories (& a few surprises) with all of you!
