Hey, I (well, me and my girls) are in the Havana too! I'll be the one drinking Cuban iced teas made with Diet Pepsi (so I feel less guilty). Welcome along for the ride! Welcome! I hope you have an awesome cruise! -

Whoo hoo!! See you onboard, most likely at a bar! 😂 My haunt is usually Alchemy, altho with Mom and B along that may not be the case this time. Welcome aboard Jimbo!! -

So sad we miss sailing with you guys! I will try and keep her in good shape, but on a girls' cruise, I make no guarantees! Yay, maybe we will run into each other! I'll post a pic of myself so maybe you will recognize me 🙂 Thanks for reading along!! -
Hey hey, Cruise Critic fam! Who’s suffering from cruise withdrawal? Who out there is staring at their countdown clock, willing it to move a little faster? Who’s mouse finger is just itching like crazy to push the button to book another cruise, but their significant other (or pocketbook) won’t let them? Side note: in that particular case, ditch that significant other, they OBVIOUSLY don’t get how important cruises are to your mental health and don’t want what’s best for you. And if the pocketbook is the problem, dude (or dudette) that is what credit cards are for….book the cruise. Wait, just kidding, don’t follow that last piece of advice. That’s terrible, I should be ashamed, I work in finance for goodness sakes! Let’s skip the advice-giving and get on with this….this….whatever the heck you want to call this. A hot mess, that’s what we shall call it. This is yet another mother/daughter cruise (yes, I KNOW Mom and I just took a cruise together 20 days before this one, and yes, I KNOW I should feel ashamed at leaving Chris (my DH) behind yet AGAIN, but guess what….I don’t care, and I don’t feel guilty!) but this time we are throwing in a THIRD person to spice up the fun! Although, for those who followed our most recent review….do we REALLY need to spice it up? I think we need LESS drama! Joining us is a former co-worker of Mom’s and mutual friend, who we shall call B. She has a warped sense of humor like Mom, and drinks like a fish like me (spoiler alert: we have the drink package this time, so WATCH OUT!) so this is gonna be a fun 8 day adventure. B sailed with us once before, back in 2019 and loved cruising and had been asking to go again with us. Now that things are back to normal (what is normal, anyway?) we are finally able to do so!

Yes, I feel that we got lucky accident wise for sure. To be able to walk away with just some bruises (we each have a few that have now appeared from seatbelts & my knee hitting the steering wheel) and sore muscles is pretty lucky. This was my first time purchasing antibiotics in a foreign country. We went to the shop in the port, and man where they hustling!! Good idea!!

Oh! I have some good news to share! When Chris arrived to rescue us last night and we went to get everything out of the car (everyone is assuming it’s totaled and we won’t see it again) I realized “Ohhhhhh snap….my BRAND NEW iPad was in the trunk, just thrown into a side pocket of my super small hotel bag, pretty much unprotected. The side of the bag the iPad was on was facing the back of the car. They tugged and they pried and they wrenched to get that trunk to pop open, and when it did I was SHOCKED at the mess inside. Bags were all over and not how we had arranged them, and I just grabbed my stuff and tossed it in Rammit (Chris’s truck). This morning I decided to go ahead and unpack, do laundry, and re-pack for my Vista cruise in 3 weeks (Can that one PLEASE be less chaotic than this one??) and I unzipped that side pocket expecting the worse…but my iPad is intact and working! Hallelujah! I can drop my dang iPhone off a stack of hay bales onto a soft dirt floor and have it break, but the iPad can survive a 65-70 mph rear-end collision…hmmm. I’m impressed.

It was a bit of a sore ending for sure. But, we are lucky we both walked away from it! We are a bit stiff and sore and shocked but ok. It ended with a bang (pun intended) for sure! We are too! We got lucky! We are stiff & sore but realize we are lucky! Grandma is doing well according to my uncle. She was up & walking and following the orders of the docs & PT’s. We will be discussing if she needs to go to a rehab facility or if we can bring her home with someone watching her and helping her do the rehab here.
