An update

Yep. We made it back. Did you wonder if I'd ever get around to updating? We had a wonderful trip....perfect timing for heading out of Minnesota. When we left, windchills were -40. YIKES.
We boarded the Celebrity Summit in San Juan on saturday. Uneventful trip down. Got settled in. And then, I discovered that I forgot my diving cards....D'OH!...despite the fact that Jim reminded me the night before to pack them and I just "yeah, yeah, yeah'd" him and continued working on whatever it was that seemed so important at the time. Big time dopey points for me. Especially since this was our diving cruise.
Anyway, thanks to the graciousness of our neighbors who came to our house searching for my cards and emailed them to me....it turned out to be a very good cruise. Stopped in St. Maarten....played on the beach with the girls and then hid under umbrellas while it rained, went diving in Dominica, Grenada & Aruba (while Nancy watched the girls), and then the girls and Nancy watched Jim & myself attempt to windsurf in Bonaire. Whew. Excellent itinerary. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the ship's "fun factory" and swimming pool with bubbles (aka the hot tub). And of course, now that we're back the girls are wondering why we don't have a waiter who does magic tricks for us at home and why we don't have treats all the time. Hmmmm.
