This time next week, I'll be roaming the streets of Key West, FL.


Next Wednesday I'm leaving with my family and going on a cruise! We're driving to St. Augustine.

We're spending the night there, so we don't have to make the trip down to Ft. Lauderdale all in one swoop. We are staying at a cheap hotel, because when one is going on a cruise, one doesn't have a lot of money to pay for much else, haha. Anyway, that should be a fun 9-10 hours worth of driving. Hopefully we will stop in Savannah on the way down. I love that place. That's where we would stay when we left on cruises from Port Canaveral. I've never driven so far down into Florida before. Just down to Orlando is probably how far. I've been to Key West before, just on a cruise, not driving. But I'm sure that would be awesome going down Route 1 or whatever it is. I was at that famous Mile 0! Now that I'm camera crazy, there will definately be a lot of pictures when I return! From St. Augustine we'll hope back on the road and head to the docking station in Ft. Lauderdale.

I zoomed out a little from what Map Quest gave me so you could see where I was going compared to everything else. Then we should be boarding Enchantment of the Seas. Which looks like this!...if it were to be a cartoon anyway:

According to the itinerary, we should be in Key West at 7:00 AM Friday. I suppose that'll mean I'll be getting up quite early :-\. Haha. It should be fun. After Key West, we get back on the ship and head over to Cozumel. I think we decided once we get to Cozumel, we'd hop on a ferry and then a bus over to Cancun since there is more shopping over there. (Go to that link I put on Cancun, it's a gorgeous aerial view of Cancun!) But I'm sure we'll have time to be in Cozumel some and Cancun since we'll be there for 9 hours. After we get back on the ship we won't get off again until we are back at Ft. Lauderdale. Which means a day at sea! Those are actually pretty fun, there are a lot of different things you can do on the ship, and one night, i'm not sure which night, probably the day at sea night, there is a formal night. Where everyone gets all dressed up. I'm still not sure what dress I want to take. I have resisted and not actually bought a new one! Haha. So I'll figure it out eventually. I hope I don't end up taking them all, haha. Anyway, once we get off the ship we'll head up the coast to Charleston. YAY! Where I hope to get a preview of my birthday trip. And ironically we're staying at a hotel I had been looking at for the trip, until I decided on the B&B. It is the Shem Creek Inn which is in a marsh in Mount Pleasant. So that should be fun. It appears they have wireless internet, so I'll try my best to go ahead and start uploading my cruise pictures to flickr so all my lovely readers my see them, since I am sure there is much anticipation. :) I should be back home by the 17th. And 9 days later I'll be off on my birthday trip with Kevin to Charleston!!! :-D


Have a nice Friday!

P.S. Maybe I'll find some stuff for FOUND down there!!! In the mean time, laugh at this one from Ashley in Brooklyn, New York:


(since it says "I think you're pretty" common sense would think a guy wrote it to a girl, in that case, that little boy has some pretty good hand writing!)
