Countdown to the Hawaiian cruise begins...

Category Everything Else
On October 8th, my wife and I will have been married for 25 years.  And yes, that's 25 years *to each other*, thank you.

To commemorate this increasingly rare event, Sue and I are going to take a cruise to Hawaii.  It'll be just the two of us, floating around the islands for 11 days, sitting on the balcony, and having a grand time.  Norwegian Cruise Lines, Pride Of Aloha, leaving Honolulu on 09/30 and returning on 10/9.  Hopefully the boys will keep the cats well-fed and watered while we're gone.  :)

Sue does all our vacation planning, so she's been living this event for about the last year.  I, on the other hand, start thinking about things three to four weeks ahead of time.  So it's been good to have her pushing me to make decisions on shore excursions, specialty dining, etc.  We've never been to Hawaii in all our vacation travels, so this'll be a new experience for both of us.

And because I know someone will ask the question...  Yes, I will take my laptop along, but at this time, I am *not* planning on buying an internet connectivity package like I have on every other cruise.  Having the laptop means I can download the pictures from my camera, still record thoughts and memories of our trip, and in case of emergency, still have the means to interact with Ian and Cam if needed.  But what we found last time is that the ship has cell phone service, so if we absolutely do need to be reached, there's that option.  

I'm looking forward to this vacation...

..middle aged, well insulated balding guys like, um....me. Is Notes affinity genetic?

Gravatar Image2 - Awesome! ...and it's not easy with all the Lotus groupies.
Enjoy!
(I've got 18+ years invested in my woman)

Gravatar Image3 - @Duffbert,
Don't fret, they're mostly guys.

Gravatar Image4 - Congratulations! We are just a few years behind you. I know that we have started talking about what we want to do, and I think that Hawai'i or Alaska are on the list.

Gravatar Image5 - There are Lotus groupies??? No one told me about that benefit... :)

Gravatar Image6 - Congratulations!! 25 years is increasingly rare indeed. Enjoy the cruise. The cats will be fine.
