Silent All These Years: Cruise with me baby

Cruise with me baby

Yes, just got back a week ago from our first cruise followed by a shopping spree through San Diego California. Funny though, I am exhausted after this vacation. A trip is supposed to rejuvenate and relaxing but I returned burnt out. I could not have made a wiser move to take this week off to return to the norm of things. This makes little sense as we were away for only 12 whole days. Nonetheless, awesome trip, glad to be a cruise virgin no more and even happier that I experience San Diego properly this time as my last drive through trip to Cali with frieds over 10 years ago was much too brief. Would we cruise again? Maybe. But unless all other trip options are depleted which is unlikely I guess. Anyone who has given me their 2 cents about a cruise were right; the food, glorious food, high end yummy delicious bountiful food. We dined like kings and queens. 3 - 4 courses every dinner. I feel fat but put on maybe 2 lbs. In fact, now I that look back at every meal we had on board, they were all wonderful, even the buffet had spectacular curries, who knew. As I reminisce about the lobster, the rack of lamb, prime rib, scallops, scampi, everything, I'd have to say, yes I'd cruise again, for the food if nothing else.

Just on board and already a shot captured by the paparazzi! I have always wanted to walk down a staircase like this, like Rose in Titanic, but without the dress.

The food does sound fabulous! I love the shot of you descending the staircase. Not sure if I would do a cruise myself. I'd gorge myself silly of course, but what would I do after that? Sit around and wait until the next meal? Prey on twinks? Try to make some quickie 2 dollah in the cabin?
