Mrs RTR made me tear up a bit
« on: December 25, 2011, 05:45:33 PM »
Christmas time here for the last couple years has been an emotional roller-coaster. Mom and Dad passed away 2009 (Dad Oct 16, Mom Christmas day 2009, two of my favorite Aunts followed in the next year and a half, Mrs RTR had some scarey medical problems last year Christmas... after surgery all good now though).

I was kind of apprehensive about this year... until this morning.

My beautiful bride of 29 years has been squirreling money away (unbeknownst to me), and this morning when I unwrapped my present it was an Itinerary...for a 5 Day cruise of the Caribbean. Bought and payed for. She said I needed a Christmas.

So.. from the 14th to the 19th of January, Me and the Mrs are going to be sailing the Caribbean.

I'm stunned and shell shocked...and tearing up again dammit.

Mrs RTR Rocks!  I think I will keep her.

Christmas isn't about the loot it's about the Love, and boy do I have a ton of that!

Now just gotta find a speedo in my size <G>!

If you don't run in there and give that lady a kiss on the cheek for me and tell her I think she's freaking awesome I may have to kick you in the cods.   You're a blessed man my friend.  Congratulations.

Too much room in the front.  Maybe you could stick your wallet in it.

Enjoy the trip RTR. Which cruise line are you taking? Each one has a little different atmosphere. I've been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises and they were awesome. The one PITA was dressing coat and tie for formal dinner. Hard to get motivated into putting on a suit when you are having fun at the swim-up bar. But the food was worth the hassle.

Also be warned, you will put on about 10 pounds. They feed you 24/7. :devil
