In about 8 hours I’ll be on a plane headed for Fort Lauderdale, Florida. About an hour after that I’ll be shuttled to Miami, then prepping for my Eastern Caribbean cruise on Sunday. I’m soooo excited! My first ever cruise and first real vacation in a long time. Of course I haven’t finished putting the finishing touches on my luggage as yet, but for the most part I’m packed. I just need to clean up my apartment and make sure my friend knows where my cat food is to feed my feline while I’m away.
I doubt I’ll get much sleep tonight, since I have to wake up at 5am in order to get ready in time to drive down to Buffalo (only 1.5 hours away), because I’ll be catching my flight to Florida from there. I saved about $200 off my airline ticket by opting to fly from Buffalo vs. Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Plus my friend who’s driving us down there can put in a full day of cross-border shopping. That’s always a plus!
I’ll be keeping a daily journal of my cruise, so I’ll be sure to post them when I return a week from now (back-posted for readability of course). Back in a week! :D
