I'm Going on a Cruise!

I have always wanted to take a cruise, for as long as I can remember. Funny thing is, I have no idea why?!? I am scared to death of boats and water. But regardless, last night, I booked a cruise for myself and my husband. Yep, that's right, I am leaving the kids home, taking a vacation with my sweetheart. Now, if you don't think I am a bad mother yet, I have not yet mentioned that I am taking said cruise over my baby's birthday and my little man's last football game.

So why, you might ask, did choose to take a cruise and at the worst possible time for us? Well, price of course! And, in case I haven't mentioned it before, I LOVE MY JOB! I was able to get a 7-night DISNEY Mexican Riviera Cruise, porting out of Los Angeles for $60 per person, per night in a VERANDAH Suite! Now, that is one sweet deal! That included all port taxes and gratuities too! Just to give you an idea on what I am saving, my mother and father are coming along and we paid a total of $1947.32. The regular price, without port taxes and gratuities was over $5800! Not even my visa reward cards can do that for me!

So, very soon, we will be setting sail aboard the Disney Wonder, one of the newest and nicest cruise ships, currently in operation on a sun filled, blissful 7-night vacation. Can I just say one more time, I LOVE MY JOB!!!
