Reflecting
The acoustic genious of my friend Steve Bridgeman is my current soundtrack. The window is open n my office and I am so loving the breeze today. I have a picture of the sunset from the cruise on my computer desktop...ahhhhhhh. I'm definitely sold. Prior to this trip, cruises weren't even on my radar as something I cared that much about doing. Now...I want to plan another trip. I want to travel...and the cruise was so relaxing and beautiful. I love being on water. It made me think about how small I am in the grand scheme of things.
At first, I felt really weird going with everything going on in the south...but I realize that it is ok to still enjoy my life while doing what I can financially, praying and thinking about those affected. It is quite sobering to see pictures of the area I just was in getting hit with hurricanes this week.
I had the opportunity to go snorkeling and kayaking in Cozumel, Mexico. That was the highlight of my trip. I saw so many fish, sponges, an eel, starfist, stingray and other ocean life. Our guides/instructors were great!
Everyone treated us really well on the cruise. I had been warned about all the food...it was nuts. Ann and I made a point of walking the steps every time we went anywhere rather than using the elevator. That helped a lot!
Wow, I have so much to write about. Hopefully I'll get back into the blogging mode now that summer is over. I still have a trip home to VT next weekend for over a week! Bring on the relaxing on the patio with mom and dad!!!

I am glad you had a great trip - I thought you would. I have never been on a cruise, but do want to go on one someday. Looking forward to hearing more about your cruise and seeing some pictures!
