I'm baaaaack!

A quick (random) cruise recap:

We are back from our wonderful relaxing vacation on the Carnival Legend. How is it that after vacation it feels so good to be home, but so bad at the same time? Last night it was quite depressing to come home to a house with no food, after spending a week having food at my fingertips at all times.

We went on this vacation with our best friends. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this, because it can be hard to be with other people 24/7 for several days, but the cruise was so accomodating for this type of vacation. We didn't have to do anything together if we didn't want to. We could do seperate activities during the day, and meet up in the evening for dinner. We could be together during the day, or apart at night if we wanted.

We left out of Tampa and sailed through the remnants of Hurricane Ida in the Caribbean Sunday night and Monday. Boy, was that ship rocking. It took me 2 hours to get out of bed on Monday morning but once I got up and made myself move around, it was mind over matter.

We didn't see as much sun as you would hope to see on a Caribbean cruise. Some of that was due to the tropical storms but I'm not sure about the rest. Rainy season? I probably wouldn't travel down there in October or November again, but we didn't let the weather affect our vacation.

Cash spent the week with my parents and had a blast, once he got over the fact that we weren't coming back for a while. I think my parents enjoyed having him more than they thought they would.

The nice thing about cleaning your house before you go on vacation is being able to come home to a clean house. That is, until I realized the day before we came home that we would have cat hair everywhere from a week of no vacuuming. I was more right than I realized. I could tell exactly where they spent their week from the clumps of cat hair on the couch, floor, and pillows.

More to come later. I'm battling my post-cruise dizziness by reading through the Google Reader. I missed my blogs last week.
