We haven’t gone on our trip to Alaska yet, that’s next month, but we’ve already arranged for a vacation after that. I never thought I’d be the type to go on a million cruises, but they are more economical than land vacations. I still need to see France before I die, but I’m enjoying cruising at this point in my life.

For our tenth anniversary, which is on or around February 14, 2008, we are going to be taking a cruise to the Caribbean. Everything is so perfect - we know we like the cruise line, it leaves a couple of days after our anniversary, it is the exact week of my spring break from Gallaudet, and it goes to places I want to go, particularly Aruba. And even better, we’re going with Pied Piper, which is a gay-owned travel agency that organizes large groups on mainstream cruises. It’s not like the full-ship charters done by RSVP, Olivia, R Family, and Atlantis, but it should still be fun! They get almost 600 people on their annual November sailing, and the one in February isn’t quite as large but it should still have a good-sized crowd. I am really excited about it! We wanted to go to Paris and Amsterdam for our 10th anniversary, but I’ll be in school, so this is an ideal solution.
