Greetings from sunny Florida!

Well, it's Day Two of my vacation, and I am loving not having to work!  In this blog post, I'll tell you about Day One, what is to come later on Day Two, and what you can expect blog-wise whilst I'm overseas.

So got up at 6 yesterday to go to the airport.  Mom got us past the long security lines and into the super special awesome flight attendant room.  The flight was good, not that long, not that turbulence-y, and very relaxing after running around for the last week.  Then we got to my aunt's house and went to dinner.  After dinner, we went to Kohl's for some late-nite shopping and I got a cute new outfit.  Becki managed to get ahold of her old friend, Amanda, and she spent the night last night.  I tried in vain to get on Skype and talk to Will, but it was down.  :(  If that seemed like a boring paragraph, it was because nothing too special happened yesterday.  :P

Right now, I'm sitting in my Aunt Jan's kitchen, waiting for Becki and Amanda to make pancakes.  Then, some Skype time in with Will (show him my aunt's mansion).  Later today all the womanfolk are going to dinner together, then going to see the Russian Ballet perform The Nutcracker.  Lastly, an early bedtime in an attempt to get on East Coast time and get some sleep before I get on the cruise.

And speaking of the cruise, here's my itinerary, in case you NEED TO KNOW where I am at any minute.

As far as my blog goes, I, of course, will not have Internet on the ship, but I plan on making blog updates on my computer anyway.  When I get back to the States, I will post these updates then, so you can all see what I was up to in the middle of the ocean.  See you all in ten days!  Have a merry Christmas!
