It is hard to believe how quickly time flies, the cruise was almost three weeks ago. Never sure where the time goes but oh well. A brief synopsis of the cruise follows…

We arrived bright eyes and bushy tailed in San Diego after an uneventful flight (I will not get into the hoops Air Canada made me jump through to get on the plane!). Again I was joined by my friend David on this trip. As this was Grey Cup Sunday and we were in a US city we decided to explore if there was a possibility of seeing the game anywhere. We ended up at the Tilted Kilt a fine establishment with great “views” and even though they tried to find the game for us there was no joy in San Diego for us, well except the “views” at the Tilted Kilt. After spending some quality time at the Kilt we headed out to explore downtown San Diego and see what there was to see. After a day of exploring and enjoying the “views” we headed back to our hotel in preparation for the next day and our cruise.

On Monday we boarded the Carnival Elation and after a buffet lunch I enjoyed my first umbrella drink a Cozumel. The ship sailed a little late due to a medical incident (we later found out) but once you are on board you really do not care. The pampering begins as soon as you are aboard and does not stop till you are kicked off. Day one on board was very relaxing and after a very delicious dinner we went to the show and wandered around the ship. As this was the week right after US Thanksgiving the crowds were a little thin so the late night activities did not have as many people as we experienced in the past.

Well not quite if I look outside but it is 11 days until I head for the Sun. My cruise out of San Diego leaves in 11 days. Did I say it is only 11 days till my cruise. Not that I am counting as the Carnival Website provides a countdown for me, now isn’t that a great service. Carnival is in the Eastern time zone at Midnight it is 10 Days!

It is hard to believe we are in November already. It seems like yesterday that I booked my December cruise and in less than 3 weeks I will be sailing to the sun for a week of relaxation. While the last few weeks have been a very difficult time for me I know a relaxing break will help me get refocused and start to move on. Life is not the same without my little buddy to take care of and to give me a reason to go home. But I know over time I will get past this and I think the cruise will be part of my therapy.

This will be my third cruise and I have started to believe this is the best way to vacation and probably my first choice in the future. Not sure if I will try other companies or stick with Carnival which so far I have enjoyed the experiences and the prices make it very affordable. Not sure what is on the horizon travel wise but I can foresee another cruise in the spring to maybe the Caribbean or the Bahamas.
