This was our 5th cruise…a much needed forced disconnect from the world. No phone. No computer. No email. No meetings. No kid drama. Ahhh…time to relax and create some margin in a busy life. Just 2 of us…wife of 23 years and I.
Our chiropractor told us about some good deals on Carnival. My wife checked it out and booked a cruise. With the hectic pace of a new job and busy life, for a couple months I looked forward to getting away and disconnecting. My wife is a cruise lover - Me? Not so much. My general opinion of cruises has been lukewarm at best. This one was different because I had a goal. A goal of absolutely nothing! Not looking forward to food, activities, doing things with the kids, shows, excursions. Just looking forward to a forced disconnect and avoiding the normal cruise annoyances.
