Going on a cruise is the last thing I ever imagined myself doing

My travels have always been indie-type expeditions.

Six months backpacking solo through SE Asia, Australia and the South Pacifice.

Indie travel through Europe.

Living and working in Eastern Europe.

That sort of thing.

But an opportunity came up involving members of my beloved family and I thought, what the hey!

I’m cruuuuuzin’ in the Caribbean. I haven’t looked at the stops yet.

But it’ll be a week of sun, relaxation, reading, martinis, group yoga, buffet food, and following the lady holding the closed red umbrella over her head.

No kids, no work, no electronic devices, no blogs, no Twitter.

I’m going in with an open mind and glass full.
