Karen sent the following picture for inclusion in the blog.  I guess we think alike! 

NEWS FLASH: As a result, we now have a new feature on the Blog: "Wednesdays with Karen".  Karen will be posting her own material every Wednesday here on the blog. Her first entry will be "171 more days..." on Decemeber 2nd.  Look forward to it! 

If you would also like to get in on the fun and host a day each week, just let me know!  (I know that Ken says he has some ideas...  Let's all cheer him on, too!)




See you on deck 13!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Which reminds me, the food on VOTS is reported to be exceptional! 

Even if you want nothing for dessert, it is something to be remembered.

See you on deck 13!

There is plenty to do on VOTS, including mini-golf!

The wager is $0.25 per hole, $1 per hole-in-one, and $5 for the game.  Who's in?

See you on deck 13!

Ahhh, the magic of ice skating...

The ice skating rink on Voyager of the Seas is the only ice skating rink at sea which also converts into a 900-seat arena used for rock concerts, games shows, professional ice shows, and fashion shows during the cruise.

VOTS's Godmother is Katarina Witt, world champion figure skater.  (but you already knew that...)

See you on deck 13!

It's finally starting to sink in...

I believe that most of us had the same feeling when our Cruisemaster and Cruisemistress, Ken and Cindy, announced this grand idea... 

"Wow!  Is this for real?  It sounds great!!!  But at the same time, its not really sinking in yet..."

Well, for me, it is finally sinking in.  It really hit me a couple of days ago when I saw some of the room pictures, and the incredible views from the balconies.   Originally I had thought, "Ah, who cares about the room.  We won't be doing much but changing and sleeping there."  And while that is still true to some degree, I am pretty excited about the room now, including the balcony.

Also setting in is the length of this adventure.  While I have taken a week off from work for vacation in the past, it was usually broken up into a series of small adventures.  A day trip here, a few days there.  But this is different.  Again, once in a lifetime.

Yep, its really sinking in.  And much like how Mom and Dad got to enjoy the anticipation of OPERATION: Goldfish for some time, we are all getting to enjoy the anticipation of OPERATION: Poisson Rouge.  That's what this blog is really all about for me.  An excuse to immerse myself in the thought of this adventure as it unfolds.  Getting to enjoy it many times over before even pulling out of the driveway for the first leg of the trip. 

180 more days.  I can hardly wait.

Now, more than ever, looking forward to seeing all of you on deck 13!
