whew, i'm finally back to semi-normalcy after being away from work (i.e., reality) for over two weeks. the first week was spent on our xmas cruise (costa maya, mexico; belize city, belize; cozumel, mexico; georgetown, grand cayman) and the second week in the everglades, key largo, and at home veggin' and cleanin' (the cleaning was john's idea, not mine).
what a wonderful time, though, to be far FAR away from family on one of the most family-oriented of holidays! no offense to my family, but they're CRAZY and nothing was more of a welcome paradigm shift than to wake up on xmas eve morning on a ship in the middle of the caribbean with breakfast in bed w/ bloodies & mimosas, scrambled eggs w/ smoked salmon and caviar, and cinnamon french toast. later in the day we shopped on grand cayman and then had a beautiful formal dinner in the main dining room of the ship (see pics). xmas day we gorged for breakfast and then laid on the top deck of the ship in full-sun 80 degree weather. it was our first time, ever, that either john or i had spent xmas away from the midwest... a bit of an adjustment but one i think we could probably handle again in the future = ) (btw, i DID bring along a string of lights with which to decorate our room = ).
and now back at work being a productive member of society. lol, like i'll ever be that...
here are our PICS!!!
