Off to the Caribbean - wait, there's snow on the ground

Greetings from Washington DC, actually Dulles airport, which for those of you who don't know this - is actually in Virginia.

It's 7am here, which is 4am our time, and we're waiting to board our connecting flight to Miami. From the airport, we'll go to our friends Joan and Rich's home, (if you read my Antarctic blog you may recognize their names) and spend the evening with them. They'll then take us to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow for our 7 day cruise on the Ruby Princess.

On the cruise, we'll make Princess elite status - their highest tier. What's vaguely interesting about that (and when you've had less than 4 hours of sleep it doesn't take much to be interesting) is that to get to that level you need 15 cruise credits (we got two for Antarctica because of the suite) and this is our first Caribbean cruise. Caribbean is a word that I need the spell checker for, so maybe after this cruise I won't any more.

Our flight from SF was short for a cross country flight. I still can't get comfortable in airplane seats to sleep. Oh well.

I will be blogging this trip, although pictures will probably come later since I have limited internet time, and the picture upload was the slow part on the last cruise.

Stay tuned.
