Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • CSP & I had been looking forward to this day so much!  He had never been to Key West and it had been a good 10 years for me so we were both excited!  But before I get into today, I forgot to include something about yesterday.  CSP’s mom and the pugs were able to…

  • We woke up at the Art of Animation resort in Walt Disney World.  We showered and dressed and packed up.  We had chosen express checkout so we were able to just get in the car and leave.  Hopped on the highway bound for Port Canaveral.  We parked and went through security then on to check…

  • Today we were off to a bit of a late start because CSP had the plague.  We finally got on the road about 10 am.  Around 4pm Mickey called to wish us a happy cruise!  So cute!  I’d totally forgotten that I’d set that up (it’s free!).  We pulled in to the Magic Kingdom gates…

  • We’re in the double digits now!  Less that 100 days til we cruise the new Disney ship the Fantasy!  We are SO excited!  I’ve actually talked CSP into doing an excursion on Grand Cayman.  This is a huge deal.  Instead of saying “Where are we visiting?” he says “How many times do I have to…

  • This was my 10th cruise and I’ve learned a lot over those 10 cruises.  So I thought I’d share some of the tips & tricks I’ve learned.  Some of these things I’ve learned from experience.  Some from fellow travelers, some from reading. Pack all liquids in a zip lock bag.  Get the 1 gallon size.…

  • Saturday, February 4, 2012.  Back to the USA. I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that we saw Stitch last night!  We made one last trip to the gift store to pick up a thank you for CSP’s mom for taking care of the pugs.  We were getting on the elevator and there he…

  • Friday, February 3, 2o12    Castaway Cay Today is the day we’ve been looking forward to all week!  Castaway Cay!  Castaway Cay is Disney‘s private island.  They have 3 separate beaches– the family beach, the sports beach, and the adults only beach called Serenity Bay.  Paradise I tell you! We woke up early and had…

  • Thursday, February 2, 2012.  Last Sea Day. I can’t remember exactly when during the trip, but we watched a ton of movies.  Mostly just before bed.  Included in these are Apollo 18,  Puss in Boots, Cowboys & Aliens, and the end of Dolphin Tale. Today was our last sea day.  I love sea days.  It’s…

  • Wednesday, February 1, 2012.   St. Thomas. Before I start telling you about our day I want to tell you why we booked our next cruise while onboard this cruise.  A few reasons (and they are all financial): 1.  You get a 10% discount off your next cruise if you book while on board. 2.…

  • Tuesday, January 31, 2012  St. Maarten We woke up today at 7 am to have breakfast in our room and watch the ship pull into port.  Can you guess who’s idea that was? :) Once we were parked we took a nap as we were up super late the night before. We woke back up…
