| The Majestic Carnival Valor! |
I’m absolutely delighted to be going on vacation with my family next week. My mother’s friends Stephanie and Eddy will be renewing their vows on the Carnival Valor cruise line and from what I hear, it will be quite an extravagant affair.
By the 19th, everyone will be in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Since the ship is boarding on the 21st, which I believe is a sunday, we have plans to spend saturday parading near the shores of South Beach. It’s always fun to show one’s figure and be carefree.
As for the cruise itself, we have such exotic destinations like Belize, Honduras, Cozumel Mexico and the Grand Cayman Islands to look forward to. I can barely contain myself, I’m in dire need of a vacation. To say it’s been a stressful year would be the understatement of the year. But I’m in a happy state of mind right now and I plan to stay there for quite awhile, thank you.
It’s so important to get out there and explore the many cultures and cuisines the world has to offer. I’m going to absorb every magnificent sight and partake in any and every activity I possibly can. I’ve never been snorkeling before so I’m really excited to give it a try.
And my diet? What diet? The brochure says the food is absolutely amazing. Steaks, seafood and desserts galore — oh my! And the best part is, it’s all free (well it’s not really free, I forked over a pretty hefty sum for this cruise). Anyway, there will be no calorie counting. I’ll have as many variations of cake that I want and eat it too.
I’m afraid I’ve over-packed though, I’m sure i’ll regret it when I get to the airport. Somehow, I managed to stuff half of the contents of my closet into my tiny pink polka dotted carry-on. How? Let’s just say that my mother is the MacGyver of organization. There’s absolutely nothing she can’t do. Thank heaven for that incredible woman.
Anyway, I’m all set, now if only Thursday would hurry up and get here already! And of course when I return, I will be posting some pictures of my fabulous adventure for all of you to see.
