Well judging by the heat during the day and not the calendar, summer is here. We still have a couple weeks until the official 1st day of summer, but I think Mother Nature is giving us a bit of a preview here in North Carolina.
I’m really excited about this up coming fall. As many of you know, that’s when my lovely wife and I take our annual cruise. This year we have selected a 5 day cruise from Jacksonville, Florida on the Carnival Fascination. We depart on October 29 and return on November 3. Yes, it’s a Halloween cruise. This will be our second one. We went during Halloween about three years ago on the Carnival Glory, and it was a blast. Some of the costumes were very imaginative and funny. Shirley and I went as Fred and Wilma Flintstone, while Tiffany and Courtney complemented my brother-in-law Gene and his wife Donna, dressing up like elves vacationing with Santa and Mrs. Claus on a vacation before the Christmas rush. As far as I was able to tell, they were the only Christmas group, while there were two or three other Fred-and-Wilmas. Not sure what it will be this year… but what ever we dress up as, I’m sure it will be fun.
The cost of this cruise is $385 for an inside stateroom. Not bad for a 5 day cruise. And what’s nice about going out of Jacksonville, we can drive there in about 6 hours. Normally we stop over night in Savannah, Ga. Last time we had dinner at the “Moon River Brewing Company.” There are so many restaurants to choose from, who knows what it will be this time.
