One week from now, Todd and I will be cruising around the Caribbean! So, either I will have a fantastic trip, or I will go crazy with no internet for two weeks! Hopefully I’ll be able to preoccupy my mind with other things, like catching up on some reading and maybe write a bit too.
I know I haven’t been the best at keeping this blog updated, but I get at least one post week in. I may have a post or two pop up while I’m away but nothing spectacular until I get back on November 16th. If you see me on Twitter on November 3rd, that’s because we’ll be in the Virgin Islands where we have cell phone service!
We only booked this trip about a month ago and always go away during the fall/winter because we love the warm weather and getting away from the cold for awhile is always a plus.
Todd and I never thought of going on a two week cruise, but when we realized we hadn’t taken any vacation days this year, we figured why not? We have to use them up by the end of the year anyway.
So, our itinerary! The ship will be making eight stops: Samana, St. Thomas, Antigua, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Curaco, Aruba, and we’ll end up in Miami.

Todd is bringing his laptop so I should be able to blog a few times a week so I can keep up with everything. Expect a lot of pictures when I get back!
Little Notes:
Running: Training for the Disney Half Marathon has been going really well! I will continue to train on the cruise ship, and although I’m not looking forward to running around dozens of times on the track around the ship, it sure beats the treadmill!
Physical Therapy: I finished up with my physical therapy last week and I have been pain free for almost two weeks!
Fundraising: I’ll admit it, I am struggling with my fundraising but have decided to recommit because I know I can do this! Although I have sent many letters out I haven’t received much of a response. I have a few more ideas that I will work on when I get back, but until then, I am still selling eCookbooks for a $10 donation! I still haven’t gotten 20 donations yet, so you will still be entered to win a $10 Peeled Gift Card! Please donate and help me find a cure for blood cancer! After you donate, I’ll email you your cookbook!
FitBloggin: I will be attending FitBloggin ’10! Hope to see you there!

Enjoy the trip!
It’s tough raising money right now with the economy and all. Good luck!
That is awesome! I hope you have a fantastic trip!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog – can’t wait to follow your journey as well! Love all of your info and resources for running – my plan is to get myself training for a 5K by the winter, so I might be asking some questions;) Hope your trip is wonderful!
Oh wow. Wish I was sunning in the Caribbean right now. Please forgive me for being a wee big jealous. Enjoy!
@Lissy: Thanks! I was talking to my husband right now and he came up with a great idea for fundraiser, so I’ll be working on that when I get back!
@Caity: Thank you!
@Lillian: That’s awesome! A 5K is what got me into running, and feel free to ask anything
@Yum Yucky: Thanks, I cannot wait, only two more days!
