Preparing to Leave

The last two day of the cruise have been at sea. This is actually a great way to end the cruise with days of relaxation and rest. However, these days are bittersweet as we become keenly aware that the trip is winding down. Thoughts of home and work become more frequent. So does the urge to anxiously try to do it all.

And what will we do without the evening magic trick by the waiter, four course dinners, having the room refreshed three times each day, a show every evening, and animals made of towels and chocolates on our bed every night. Oh yes, and childcare available from 9 a.m. to midnight daily.

Actually, Ben is taking a class right now with his dad on making animals out of towels. Maybe he will do this for us at home every night!

Funny story: This morning, Kristina decided to practice her magic tricks on Ben (trying to copy the waiter). She found a couple of coins and was starting her act. Ben said "make more of them. Make a thousand and we will have lots of money."
