Michele's Melodramatic Memoirs: I need a vacation...

I know I say this too much, but I need a vacation. Yes, Rob and I take a vacation at least once a quarter, sometimes twice, but I really need a vacation. My last real vacation was in early July. Rob and I headed over to Hilton Head to celebrate Independence Day in an oceanfront condo. The best part was there wasn't a ton of stuff to do besides lounge at the beach, which is contrary to many of the vacations that Rob and I have taken together. With Rob it's usually "Go! Go! Go!", whereas I prefer to catch up on my sleep, sunbathe, and drink several bottles of wine. Not all at once of course, because that behavior would probably designate me as an alcoholic, but I like to relax. Several times I've come home from one of Rob and my vacations and needed another vacation from the vacation. It's fun, but exhausting. Anyways, our next real vacation is to get away from the hustle and bustle of Knoxville and travel to the Eastern Caribbean for New Years. In sixteen days, I can finally board our Royal Caribbean ship, walk out on our private balcony with a rum runner, and say "Bon Voyage! See you in a week!" This particular cruise only has three stops, so I'm probably going to be topside or beach bound with a fruity drink most of the time. Or perhaps I will be at the spa getting a full-body massage (*Michele begins drooling profusely*). I might even get lucky at the casino again (last year I won $250 on a slot machine)! Either way, nothing is getting between me and my impending trip. By the way, I've included some photos for your viewing pleasure, so feel free to leave comments about how jealous you are ;-)
