Monday Musings about Cruising…

I’m back from Canada, eh, and here’s just a quick overview of why I like cruising!

  1. Spent more than a week with hubby, my sis and brother in law living next door to each other  (we live several states apart)
  2. Wonderful food choices made it easy to eat well and indulge just a little.  And no planning, cooking or clean up…
  3. Only had to take Dramamine for a few days this time…
  4. Walked literally miles everyday (not to mention the stairs)
  5. Great entertainment all in one place.  A show every night — great music, magic, acrobats and comedy, plus musicians in the common atrium areas…
  6. An incredibly small, efficient storage system for clothes and personal effects in your stateroom…
  7. A free upgrade to a stateroom on a higher floor with an obstructed ocean view (that means a lifeboat is partially in front of your window) but, hey, some people pay for that view!
  8. A special drink of the day and wine with dinner (not included in the price, but still)…
  9. Visiting six cities without packing up and changing hotels every few days…
  10. A towel animal on your bed each night — that’s a bulldog!

I’ll give you the flip side later!

Monday Musings About a Little Libation…

I’m having a group of folks over this weekend and I’m looking for some nice fall like drinks that could be made up ahead of time in a pitcher. It’s not really a Halloween party, but it needs to have alcohol for sure. I was thinking various beers and hard ciders? But maybe one type of cocktail, too?

All ideas are welcome!

Monday Musings on Getting Lei’d…

Start with a luau (Old Lahaina Luau is one of the more authentic shows on Maui; my group wanted drama so we picked one that had a silly MC and fire dancers) 😉

Drink mai tais or Blue Hawaiians or even Bikini Blonde;

Try lots of food from the buffet, but skip the poi, which is grayish purple, made from taro, and tastes like you would imagine wallpaper paste does;

Relax and enjoy the show…
