Cruisin'

It has been a while hasn’t it? I warned you that I might have a tendency to forget to post something on a regular basis. I think it is ok since I only have an audience of somewhere between three and five. I have been quite the hard worker the last few weeks, except for the tax thing that is coming up. I have yet to finish my taxes and I am quickly running out of time. I leave this Saturday to go on my cruise and I won’t be back in time to get my taxes in. Normally, I get a tidy sum back, but this year I am going to have to look for all of the deductions that I can find in order to get back anything at all. But I will get it done and all will be well.

On to more exciting things. . . as I said I am going cruising next week. I will be on the Carnival Conquest. I think it is the biggest ship Carnival has, it is almost 1000 feet long! If you have never been on a cruise before I highly recommend it. All you have to do is get you and your luggage to a port (I am leaving from Galveston) and hop on the ship. You don’t have to worry about anything else. All your meals are on the ship, it does all of the traveling around and everything you need is right there. Now, the rooms are a bit small compared to hotel rooms, but who wants to stay in the room when you are on a huge boat?

This will be a seven day cruise starting in Galveston then on to Montego Bay, Jamaica, the Caymans, Cozumel and finally back to Galveston. I have been on one other cruise that went to Cozumel, Playa Del Carmen and Costa Maya, but I have never been to most of the places on this cruise. I will have to look into getting some sort of camera for documenting my cruise. I wonder if I can count that as a tax write off somehow?
