It's Ang. What a year so far! I turned 30 (blech) in February. In May we found out we're finally pregnant! What a journey! Don't think we'll find out what it is, but Wednesday is that sonogram. Just returned from a 7 day cruise, so I wanted to give you the low down.
Thursday night I couldn't sleep - too excited so we left at 4am on Friday. We took an extra day in Cocoa Beach just so we could hang out and get our vaca started.
Saturday morning we took the shuttle to the port and they flagged me for being preggo eventhough I had ALREADY turned in my Dr.'s note! But it was fine, just had to sign another paper.
We got on the boat and I was digging in my bag and sliced my finger on Tim's razor. So I went down to get a band-aid and they charged me $2.19 for 6! Why can't I just have one? Then as we left for dinner I ripped the door over my toes and skinned them up some more. Alas we departed and set sail.
Sunday we docked in the Bahamas and we didn't have an excursion planned so we decided to take a horse and buggy tour. Once we got in the buggy, we realized maybe it wasn't such a good idea. We were going through most of Nassau that was closed and looked pretty rough, but we survived and returned to the boat.
Monday - Fun Day at Sea and we just hung out and took it easy.
Tuesday - St. Thomas - We planned to snorkel and were not aware we would be riding a power boat to our site. I did not know a Power boat was a death trap where I sat on the back (supposedly the easiest part of the ride) and hung on while we jumped waves. I got a nice sunburn and did see some sea turtles, lots of fish and a sunken ship.
Wednesday - St. Maarten - This and the Grand Caymans are my favorite ports of all time. This was a smooth water taxi out to a tiki hut where we saw fish, a submarine, cannons, squid, and tons of stuff. There were also divers and helmet divers. I think I still had a little sun poisoning from the day before so I took a break on the floating dock and before I knew it - was puking my guts up! Embarrassing! But Tim had also brushed up against the dock and we thought it was just irritation from his sunburn. But, was probably some sea life. When we got back from the Mexican buffet that night, he was covered in welts. Because it was after hours 10 Benadryl tabs cost me $28, but I didn't want him to itch. The next morning the welts were gone, but he was completely pink!
So, since it was a Fun day at sea, we stayed in. By dinner time, we decided to go to the Medical center (the price of another excursion!) and got some prednazone, claritin, and caladryl. It cleared up nicely. We had a huge movie screen on the pool deck so that night we saw Avatar.
Last day- won some money back from the casino, played some trivia, Tim played Minute to Win it, and had a great time.
It was hard to drive home and start life back again, but what a nice vacation before the new chapter in our life begins!
