In six days

We will be on board Empress of the Seas, sailing out of San Juan, Puerto Rico for our fan----ingtastic 11-night Exotic Southern Caribbean Cruise. Need I say more ? No, I don't think so, except for a few random thoughts:

1. We better start getting ship-shape so that we can climb the rock-climbing wall, 250 feet above sea level at the back of the ship -- are we nuts, or what? Welllll, that never stopped me in the past.

2. The godmother of our ship is Gloria Estefan. And your point is?, you say.
3. I impetuously registered for a meet and and mingle party with cruise ship commentators -- maybe not such a good thing? oh well, we can always be no-shows.
