We just returned from a fabulous seven-day cruise to Bermuda with my brother and his lovely wife Charity. When I say 'we' I mean 'Matt and I'. Yes, no chitlins. We love those babies so much and it was so hard to leave them behind but we adjusted, had a grand time, and loved them even more when we got home.
We flew into New York Saturday afternoon, took a bus/train combo to Times Square, then found Sven and Charity at the Crowne Plaza. After a quick greeting and freshening we toured Times Square then found dinner at an Irish Pub. The fish and chips and beer were fantastic but they didn't compare to the company. It was so great to see Sven and Charity and we were all pumped for the next seven days together.

In the morning we noticed a large ship a dozen blocks or so behind our hotel. Holy Hanna! That's not just any ship, that's our ship! Let's go!

Okay, 7 days without kids on a posh cruise line? Sounds heavenly!! It's nice to get away and recharge your batteries--and how fun that you could do it with Sven and Charity!
