I am BAAAAAAAAAck....and frankly, quite happy to be home. All my 'mals are fine and dandy. The kitties are quite clingy, esp. Tex, who was at Granny's (Lilycats) with Georgie all week. Tex looks great, and according to Granny, wasn't TOO difficult to pill. He takes two meds twice a day...fun, fun, fun. I took today off to relax with them all. Funny, they musta had quite the party, as they have done nothing but sleep all day long.

OK, I went to get Binx from my sister's last night. I asked her to put her 3 kangeroos away, so I could mingle with Binx. She managed to get two in the house, but, Rafe the Rottie managed to avoid capture. So, Binx, Rafe and I said hello to each other. Funny, Rafe acted as excited as Binx to see me. Binx looks huge. Sis said he ate really well, and no limp! On the way home, Binx stood with his head in my lap nearly the whole way..we were in my BF's ('nother story, 'nother time ) van, so, it was roomy enough. He has been pretty clingy- very unBinx like. He has also slept a TON! 3 cousins, an acre, a pond, and daily 3 mile walks has caught up to him. We walked 2.5 this am, and he could hardly keep up!

It was really relaxing to be away, knowing my guys were in such capable hands. I don't know that I would cruise 7 days again...I got a little stir crazy at the end. We did 3 nights at the real dinner, and then ate either room service, or at one of the 4-5 little restaurants the other nights. I stayed on the boat during the Jamiaca port, but, got off in Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I shopped some in both ports. I worked out (every day! Yippee!), laid out, and pigged out....read alot, slept some, stared at the water some, drank some (not too much at all), laughed with my cabin mate, Tina ALOT, made fun of everyone, with nicknames, of course. No cabana boys, though we did acqaint ourselves with Boris, the drinkbringer. I would highly suggest anyone cruising get a balcony room...very, very nice to hang out in the early am/late pm and watch the sun/stars, water. I did not get sick at all (well, except from overeating), everyone was quite nice (except the 16 other people we were travelling with)...for example, one guy (Sir Drink Alot) needs to connect with AAA, as AA simply won't be sufficient. The food is tasty, the service nice. I think I am tan (for my fair skinned self), and will give you the two diametrically opposed Cataholic shots...any guess which one represents the true me? I am glad to be back, folks, glad to be back. Pics following....
