Thats right! We're home!!!

If you've never been cruising... GO!!!! you'll never want to do anything but that afterwards!

So here we were hoping that you guys would be subjected to -30 temperatures while we were baking in +30, but I get home to find out that it's been basically above zero every day.. WTF is up with that?? Are we not having winter in Edmonton this year? AGAIN?? My snowboard is DYING to get used and now it looks like it's gotta wait even longer... BOOOOO

So we landed in Ft. Lauderdale Florida and had 5 stops on our cruise before coming back home. Would you believe that I didn't see ONE p5 the whole time? I thought for sure that I'd see at least one in ft. lauderdale, but nothing even there.. Just a bunch of 323s and 626s on some of the islands, but that was it.

I'll tell you tho - mitsubishi is like the honda of the caribbean. I've never seen so many lancers.

So we had a great trip, took over 200 pictures, and did not want to come home! I'll post some of the better pictures when I figure out how to DL the pics from the camera. (Borrowed it from a friend)

Yes cruises are great! I went on one in May and loved it. I had no desire whatsoever to go but it was a family vacation so I had no choice. Well I felt like a dumbass when I got back because I loved it. Hell Im already going next May! We went to the Carribean BTW. Fun fun fun!

Not sure on the other boats, but I know that there was a Holland America boat due to set sail the same day as ours that got cancelled due to a virus. There was a bunch of VERY mad people at the hotel we stayed at once they found out they weren't going cruising.

Very sad that it happened, and after seeing the buffet line on our boat, it's not hard to imagine how easy it would be for a boat load of people to get sick! ( We stayed away from the buffet, and ate only in the actual dining rooms where staff serve you. That way at least you know that 2249 other passengers didn't cough on/sneeze on/touch your food before you got it...

Certainly won't stop us from going on another cruise tho!!

Anything interesting happen in Edmonton while I was gone?? Funny... you go to the other end of the world, and lose all touch with whats happening at home.. Didn't even hear who won the grey cup till this morning... damn..
