Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • We got back to the ship at somewhere between 3:30 and 4 and were famished!  We’d missed lunch so after we changed out of our swimsuits we went up to Flo’s V8 Cafe and got some snacks.  We sat and ate in the adult section near the adult pool and noticed that the ship was…

  • CSP finally got sick just as I was starting to feel better.  Poor guy.  But he was a trooper!  We woke up early and had breakfast at Royal Court.  CSP had lox and bagels and eggs benedict.   I had a strawberry yogurt mix and eggs benedict.   Breakfast was over by 9 and we couldn’t…

  • I forgot to mention something in the last post.  When you go to board the ship they ask for your family name.  Then you hear over the PA “The Disney Fantasy would like to welcome the Smith family!!!”  And everyone cheers.  I NEVER get tired of that.  Makes you feel like a supa star! Tonight’s…

  • My December birchbox came! This month I received under eye gel packs to get rid of puffy eyes, men’s cologne, mascara, face cream, and shampoo. Now that I’m approaching 40 I have puffy eyes if I don’t get enough sleep so those gel packs will come in handy! The shampoo and face cream are perfect…

  • I hadn’t updated my 100+ Things page in a while so I sat down to do that and realized that a few things have changed over the past 3 or so years since I’d updated. #26- I used to only have 2 tattoos.  Now I have 5:  a sun/moon on my lower back, 3 ladybugs…

  • I’ve got itchy feet.  By that I mean it’s usually not too long before I’m itching to travel somewhere or move houses or just get out and explore.  I’m really thankful for that.  I know people who have NEVER been on a vacation!  Ever!  I just can’t imagine that!  I mean, I know that it’s…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • Monday, January 30, 2012 We started today, our second sea day,  by having brunch in Lumiere’s.   CSP started out with crab cocktail.  I don’t know how he can eat fish first thing in the morning!  He also had lox and bagels.  Then for his entree chose  sole with crawfish, scallops, and brown butter sauce.…
