The Jump Off

We spent the last few days getting ready for “THE CRUISE”. Somehow this means acquiring large amounts of underwear and socks, planning for each contingency and making sure everything is covered. Then, just when the horseback riding, jet skiing day has been fully covered, the phone rings and guess what? Since the ship is experiencing a break out of Norwalk virus, it will be delayed 7 hours in departing which means we will be sitting on shore an extra five hours and will not be making the first stop to see the horseys. Bummer. Followed quickly by the weather channel expressing concern over the hurricane just forming off the coast of Cuba. Is that anywhere near the Caribbean???

Now here is the amazing part. Three years ago I would be freaking, ready to jump ship. Now, oh well, a new adventure. Wonder how it will turn out?? Can’t wait to see. And the funny part is that no matter how it turns out I will have a good time. With the possible exception of dropping 20000 feet in 4.5 seconds or the cellar springing a leak.

We will still be zip lining through the jungle canopy on one of the days. If the hurricane goes that way, it may provide quite a tail wind. I really am looking forward to that part. Lots of exercise every day and then the forced dinners at night. One chocolate extravaganza at night. Tough, tough work. Oh well!! We should be back by November 20^th. May try and provide pictures. Or video. Or music. Most likely words.
