New digs and New travel.... Life is good!

Since the last time I posted, I've accomplished quite a bit. I actually moved from my house to an apartment. AND it's actually about 93% decorated! I know...amazing. Art work has been hung, things are put away and the most amazing thing---everything fits!

I was quite worried despite the fact that I measured the rooms here, measured all my furniture and then used graph papers and scale cut-outs of all the furniture prior to moving. (I know, organizational craziness.)

I was also assigned a storage cage type thing in the basement, but the only thing I am storing down there are empty boxes and bins that I will need for the next move. That basement creeps me out so bad. I will not go down there unless it's daylight, I have a box cutter in my hand and there is someone with me. Because of some law, the door to the place needs to be kept unlocked. So my imagination goes into overdrive and pictures some murderer lurking down there. Plus, there is all sorts of forgotten furniture down there (perfect hiding place for said murderer) and.. well, it's a basement.

But enough of that topic--

In two weeks, I've changed my life in a major way and I have to tell you, it feels great!

Now, onto more important topics! Travel!

I'm leaving next week for a quick trip south to hopefully, stock up on Vitamin D to help me make it through the winter. (I am still considering one of those light boxes for my desk at work) A few clicks and it could be on its way with Amazon Prime. That is deadly--believe me. So easy to get just about anything you want in 2 days. People say you can get it cheaper elsewhere, but I'd rather pay a little more so I don't have to actually go to the store and get it!. But once again, I digress.

Back to Travel. Sanibel Island is once again calling my name.  I am looking forward to long days on the beach and eating dinner outside at our favorite restaurants! Of course, pasty Jilly will need sunscreen. But it does inhibit Vitamin D absorption so I will have to balance that out.

And, I have another cruise planned for April. Believe it or not, I got a great casino rate for any cruises I book by the end of the year for next year!. Honey, I was on that faster than you can say Blackjack!
I'm thinking of booking a second cruise for October or November of 17. Well, I'm not thinking of doing it, I am doing that, I just haven't booked it yet.

The cruise in April is eight nights and it stops in Puerto Rico, Grand Turk, St Maarten and St. Kitts. I'm really looking forward to that. The Serenity area on this ship is amazing. It's 3 levels and it has a pool with a waterfall! And on top of that, there are four wonderful sea days!

So that's all the news for now. It's unreal that we are into December already. The only good thing I have to say about the onset of winter is: At least this winter I will not have to do any shoveling!
