Today is Katie from ...for Lauren and Lauren, in case you missed it.
Last week, Dorothy made you some Gingerbread Oreo Truffles and Becky shared a classic Chocolate Chip and PB cookie recipe. Kate shared her style and then Meg showcased some crafts that even I could do.
I cannot thank you ladies enough for keeping my blog going while I'm away. Gracias.

Apparently this is where the world will end later this week. Super. (in Belize) |
Did I enjoy our vacation?
I enjoyed the weather.
I loved the blissful heat and humidity in the western
Caribbean. I think I uttered the phrase
“It’s too hot” twice. In Honduras, while
we were sitting next to the resort pool baking in the sun, and
I said it again in Belize at the Mayan ruins where it was particularly humid in
the jungle.
Both times, Scott just kind of gave me a “look".
The food? After I
tell you our harrowing tale of adventure concerning the food (food poisoning), you’ll see why we
were a little leery of everything edible on that boat. However, I certainly ate
my fill of watermelon.
This is where I make my money back, Carnival. |
By the end of the trip, I found myself craving things I just
couldn’t get. Chips. Candy.
Good ice cream. You know… my diet
staples. I almost bought a $6.00 bag of Doritos in Roatan and then decided against it.
The most stylish people on the ship, keeping the plaid alive. |
The good news is that, like last year’s vacation, we pulled
through. Food poisoning seems to travel
along with us.
Also good news? We
saved a LOT of money on alcohol because it turns out that’s the last thing you
want when you’re sick.
And the million dollar question? Do I miss Alaska yet? Not even a little bit. Scott does (which lets you know how crazy he actually is).
I miss my gym routine a little (but
I did my weight/ab routines on the boat).
I miss my computer (Scott’s computer is old, but it did the job while we sat in our stateroom and watched movies for 2 days). I
miss….yeah, that’s about it.
Have you ever been on a cruise? What’d you think?
Linking up to YOLO Monday
Sounds fabulous, minus the food issue. I hope it continues to be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too~
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having ia good time (other than the food poisoning) and hope it continues!
We took a cruise when I was 13. It wasn't as fun as it could've been for me ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never been on a cruise. I don't think I would want to because of all the horror stories I see on the news. Ship is on the side, food poisoning, some mysterious infectious disease has broke out and killed a high amount of people...
ReplyDeleteyah... not for me. I like land.
Never been on a cruise. My husband and I considered it for for our honeymoon...but we decided that we like the freedom of being able to travel anywhere and everywhere we want to and change plans mid-vacation. Maybe when we've settled down a little and aren't so easily distractable we'll try one!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your vacation was super fun (other than getting sick, boo)
ReplyDeleteWe honeymooned on a Royal Caribbean cruise and got sick on the last night due to a tropical storm. Other than that, it was fun!
I feel that way every single time I get to leave this state...I don't miss it. Not even a little, tiny, miniscule amount.
ReplyDeleteMiss you too!! :) Vacation sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the food poisoning. I love to travel, but I'm the same way, I always end up missing my diet staples like candy and whatnot. ;) Coming from #yolomondays
ReplyDeleteEek, food poisoning...so sorry! I'm glad you're having a good trip anyway! I've never been on a cruise...I couldn't do it. I can barely ride shotgun in a car, let alone in a boat...
ReplyDeleteI've never done a cruise, is it fun?
ReplyDeleteFood poisoning...yuck! Good news is, you probably didnt gain any weight while not being on your exercise routine, you know because of the run & throwing up :/
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah, I miss your posts. Come back already.
