Going on a CRUISE BABY!


We found out we are going on a CRUISE! Me, my roomie and a couple friends (Dawn and Christi) are going. We are virgins on the ship cruising thing so this will be interesting. Our ports will be Freeport and Nassau. It is just a four night 5 day thing so not so long if we don't like it.

Here is the REAL cool thing. I remembered there is a BIKE RACE in Nassau called Tour of the Bahamas which will be running when we are there. David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde will be riding for team Slipstream in the race! What a chance to see someone in person that has worn the yellow jersey in the TDF (Tour de France for all you non tour following people). I am jazzed about this and realize a person could just ride in RAGBRAI (again for all you non-bikers this stands for the Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) and see Lance which would be cool also but to see the boys race would be VERY COOL!

Here is the kicker....we are such planners when it comes to vacations. We usually know where we are going what day and where we are having supper at that night so this has not given us much time to plan not to mention enough time for me to get information together for my famous laminated travel information sheets! Not that we plan every second of the day but we like to have it planned so we know what we are doing at least. I guess this all started with playing softball and taking care of some of the team hotel and supper reservations and also with our trips to Disney! Now if we do not have a plan we feel lost....UGH!.STRESS!

We have LOTS OF PLANNING to do before any decisions are made as to what we are doing for sure! I "conch" do it....little island humor there....YES, we can do this!...Never say "Conch"!
