Easter!

I hope that everyone is enjoying the Easter holiday! I always love this time of year with all the weather changes and the promise of a new beginning. Today we went to the casino to celebrate my birthday. We did not do so well. Jazzi, my schnauzer, went to doggy daycamp to play while we were gone. She is so funny, loving the time she gets to play with the other dogs, tonight she can hardly move! What did I ever do before finding doggie daycamp?

I am looking forward to next years cruise aboard the Norwegian Star.

I love the current deals that the cruise lines are offering, when you think about traveling for less than $50 per day including your hotel, meals, and entertainment!! This is such a wonderful time to travel. Hopefully these deals will not last long, while we all love a great deal, as long as the prices are so low, we know the economy is still low. Hopefully, by the time we are ready to go on our trip next year, the prices have all increased!
