“Shells sink, dreams float. Life's good on our boat. ”
It's interesting the way things come together. I've never met someone who has REALLY hit the lottery. I've never been on a cruise. And I've rarely experienced true, unabashed, generosity. Not long ago these three converged.
My wife's cousin hit the lottery in a fairly big way.
He did something extremely generous.
He paid for a cruise for all of his family and the family of his Aunt, (my mother-in-law) who helped raise his late mother.
So, I'm going on a cruise, thanks to luck and extreme generosity. Cool on a lot of levels, as I am one who believes there are no truly random acts. Everything has a purpose.
On December 30th, 2012, I around 50 of my in-laws are departing from Charleston, SC for a 5 day cruise aboard Carnival Fantasy. On a boat.....with 50 of my in-laws.....hmmm...... Fortunately, we mostly get along. Hope that holds true after the trip.
My wife, children and I have done quite a bit of traveling around the US. We've often talked about a cruise, but never took the plunge. Needless to say we are very excited about this opportunity. Not only the chance to try-out a cruise, but also some relaxing time shared with extended family. Truly a rare opportunity.
Check back for updates on our adventures!
