fun times ahead ...

So we fly out tomorrow morning to Miami, and then head for our Liberty of the Seas adventure, cruising to a private island in the Bahamas.  We’re taking my step-mom who’s never really been anywhere, so this is exciting for her (and us, and Zane).  It is also her Birthday-weekend and Mother’s day, so it works out.  She’s excited and wondering if she’ll need to pack towels.  NO!  Her ill-informed coworkers are telling her to stock up on bottled water and snacks for the room because “that stuff gets expensive”.  Um, this is an all-inclusive super paid for gig.  You don’t bring towels on a cruise.  She didn’t think so, but these goofballs at her office are telling her all this wacky shit.  Snacks?  Expensive?  No.  You can eat for 24-hours solid at no additional cost.  Even the alcohol is free.  As are the towels.  And the drinks.  We’re going to be in a balcony suite, y’all.  Zane has never been on a cruise ship, so he’s really excited about this.  I am too.  I’m ready.  Let’s go!
