Ah, NaNoWriMo – that time of year when writers around the world attempt to churn out 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s a daunting task, to say the least. And many are able to accomplish that goal with flying colors and I say, good for them. Even though NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is in
Y’all if you ever want to wildly scandalize an entire cruise ship from your fellow passengers right through the captain of the ship- you should skip out on visit CocoCay. I should mention that I highly doubt that Captain Gus really cared whether I got off the ship in CocoCay but I’d like to believe
Let us flash back January 15, 2020 when I had a complete mental breakdown and booked a cruise to “celebrate*” my 35th birthday. I was pumped and wouldn’t shut up about it. I even wrote a post about how much I was planning to be as obnoxious as possible about it. Nothing is worse than

I learned a powerful lesson about blogging yesterday and that was that you should never do it on an empty stomach. I was writing while quite hangry yesterday and it resulted in a very interesting post that I refused to delete and leave alone. I was in some kind of mood and I stand by
It’s been just under a month since I went on my 3-night cruise to the Bahamas and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t paying regular visits to the Royal Caribbean web site in an effort to plan my next escape. Frankly, if I had the money I’d jump on one of the fall
MY VACATION IS COMING MY VACATION IS COMING!!! If I’m being real, I’m honestly really excited about seeing my sister. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw her and my best guess is that it was sometime around November of 2015. I would like to pretend there’s no way that could be right
With just three days to go until we set sail on our cruise, I decided it was time to actually start considering the idea of perhaps entertaining the thoughts of probably packing.
