Me with Taylor, Brad & Mickey
A recent conversation at our house:
Me: "Honey, how would you like to take another cruise?"
Hubby: "You know I don't like to cruise. It messes up my balance."
Me: "But. But. But. I LOVE to cruise! We could go back to the Mediterranean, where the waters are smooth, and you won't get as seasick."
Hubby (with skepticism): "That still doesn't sound appealing. Besides - it would cost a fortune."
Me: "But it would be half-price."
I've learned over the years that if you mention "half-price" or "free" to my Hubby, you will most certainly get his attention. I now had his full attention.
Me: "You know that Visa card we carry around and use all of the time? The one with the Royal Caribbean cruise ship on it?"
Hubby: "Yeah...I know the one."
Me: "We are the now proud owners of 250,000 points on that card. Which entitles us to one free 12-night cruise in Europe."
Hubby: "Book it."
And so here we are. We are now heading back to Europe in June 2012, for a 12-night Mediterranean/Greek Isles cruise on the Serenade of the Seas.
We're also taking three of our kids with us: Brad, who will be 22 years old at the time of the cruise; Taylor (son), who will be 19 at the time of cruising; and Mickey (daughter), who will be almost 13-years old at the time of the cruise.
I'll be posting here about our pre-cruise plans, and then do another post-cruise review.
Should be fun! Should be interesting!
And it will ALWAYS be an adventure!
We loved using your last blog as a guide to a fantastic vacation. I'm rather tempted to join you on this one. Alas...I'll just have to read in envy and hope to use it as a guide to another fantastic vacation at another time.
