See that Cruise ship (Ocean Village), I've just booked a two week Caribbean cruise for January 2010, on that very ship in that very cabin the arrow is pointing to!
Come next November I will be 60; in December MWM and I will have been married 35 years and I will retire from work so we're off to visit the following islands: Barbados, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Tobago, St. Lucia, Grenada, Isla Margarita, Mayreau and back to Barbados.
We have upgraded our cabin to a suite with a balcony. you can see a 360 degree tour of it here and read what luxury we will be in for a whole two weeks. There's everything you can imagine on that ship, just click on some of the tabs on the link and have a look around.
I've booked Premier seats on the plane so we'll have more room, a nice meal and FREE drinks! Also when we get to our cabin there will be flowers, chocolates and a basket of fruit awaiting us and we can nominate a day to have a luxury continental breakfast, including champagne and strawberries dipped in chocolate delivered to our cabin, where we can scoff it sitting on our balcony whilst watching the vast Caribbean stretch out before our very eyes.
Go on, admit it, you're just an itsy bit jealous aren't you?
Oooooh, I'm so excited, I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

It does look fabulous doesn't it Dumdad? I can hardly wait!
Of course I'll be wishing you were all there to share it with me Ron. xx
We've never travelled West before Tony, only ever gone East the furthest being Australia. I am so looking forward to it and there'll be plenty of photos!
LOL I know you didn't mean the Grrrrrrr Laney x
Oh I am definitely going to do the Spa Debs :0
You, me and the Pointer Sisters .. we're ALL excited.
And you will be so close to the States .. I bet from your balcony you might see Florida
Oh so very cool. I've been to Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. I loved it...St Martin.We went on a jeep caravan ride there...ended up at a nude beach. Whoa! Lots to do there and the weather is going to be fabulous for you. The French side of the island is actually really nice.
I liked St Thomas and St John the best...but I see you aren't going to that island.
Oh and I climbed a pyrimid in Belize.
You are going to love it. I love the dress upp dinners at night. twice I was on the Explorer of the seas.
I want to go on a Mediterranean cruise...from Spain to Italy and Greece. From there go through France and over to London...New York city..then back to Los Angeles...then I'l need another week to rest up.
Oh what a fabulous vacation you will be having...yay.
Ciao honey.
OMG, I am sooooooooo jealous! This is the trip of a lifetime hon, and after my recent debacle, you truly are rubbing salt into the wounds, you horror you! Oh love, you are going to have SUCH a wonderful time, lucky, lucky you - remember to at least take millions of photo's so we can pretend we have been there with you.
Hope that you enjoy it. But, hey don't wish your life away there is a year of living before January 2010 comes round.
I'll look out for Florida when I'm sipping my cocktail on the balcony Daryl ;)
You're well travelled Spiky! We have been on a Med cruise which we really enjoyed but I've always wanted to travel West and now I have the chance. I hope you get to do a Med cruise you will love it. :)
I will be regaling you with tales and photos of the trip for weeks Shrinky! ;)
I'm not wishing my life away Cheshire Wife we have lots coming up this year. In fact we are going away to Spain on the
16th Feb for a week so I'm really looking forward to that!
Lucky YOU! Wish I were going...
sigh...
Have a grand time my friend!
hugs
Sandi
I am not a itsy bit jealous . I'm a very, very, big bit jealous.
How wonderful for you.
What a wonderful thing to look forward to! I went on one cruise and it was great...but, make sure you have tip money...unless, it is already included. At the end of our cruise all these envelopes appeared...tip for this one, tip for that one...who are all these people?! :D
My favorite moment on the cruise was being on the deck at 2am and just gazing out at the sea and up at the stars. Enjoy...you deserve it!
I'm thrilled for you guys. I've been to a couple of those islands, adn they are gorgeous.
good for you!
Some of my happiest days have been cruising (hmmm, been a while)
I'm so glad for you. The carribean is lovely - so are you! aloha
fabtastic!!! how super will that be...I'm in the process of trying to book a nyc 5 night trip in May09..and a paris/Berlin trip for 5 night in oct 09...not sure if the prices will come in right, but fingers crossed.
its exciting in the anticipation..
Sounds great! Please bring some sunshine back with you.
How amazing is that! I hope you'll have the time of your life.
Yeah, I'm a wee bit jealous but still happy for you.
I do feel very lucky Sandi :)
Thanks Dr. John x
Thankfully tips are included Lulda but no doubt we will tip anyway. When we did a Mediterranean cruise that was my favourite part too - standing on deck looking at the stars. :)
Having only seen all those islands on the television I'm so looking forward to setting foot on them Citizen!
I just wish a visit to Hawaii was included Cloudia then we could meet up! :)
I do hope you get a good deal on your flights FF&F and you're right the anticipation is really exciting!
I'm sure we'll have some sunshine here before I go on the cruise Krimo as it's not until 2010! ;)
I'm so looking forward to it nitebyrd I'm sure I won't be disappointed. :)
I'd luuurve to go on a cruise one day... do you know where? Among the South Sea islands... I'm sure you could hop aboard one from New Zealand...
... is that really your cabin? How can you tell? Did they give you a full reservation and boat plan alaredy?
... Hey did you hear about Saddam Hussein's 80m personal yacht going on sale for $35 million. I don't know why nobody bought it ~ I'd jump for something like that if I had the cash to spare. It has personal missile launcher, an operating theatre (stocked with drugs~?? sorry couldn't resist) and a secret tunnel (well it's not secret any more!!) leading to a SUBMARINE launch!!! How exciting is that??!!!!!??!!!
How exciting!! I'm not really jealous though as I've never fancied going on a cruise for some reason...don't know why!!
I can't believe you're nearly 60!! It's not possible...!
So happy for you :)
Wrong.
I'm a LOT jealous.
Wonderful! (Are you going to at least let me hide in the suitcase again?)
WOW WOW WOW....... first off Ive at last been able to log on here and not get booted 3 times....
Oh my it looks fantastic...... of course I aint jealous, cos by then at that ripe old age you will both probably need a carer, so thats where I come in :) lol
Im so SO soooo very happy for you both..... what a great way to celebrate such milestones in your lives..
x
I know that's our cabin Gleds because when you book you can see a deck plan and book your cabin! :O
It's more than possibel that I'm almost 60 CG, it's a reality! :0 thanks for the compliment though m'dear. x
He he of course I'll sneak you aboard Mimi ;)
Marmie if I needed a carer honey you would be the first person I'd turn to. xx
