I am back

Hello again dear blog friends.
We just got back from a lovely , spur of the moment, trip.
Because of the Swine Flu, cruise ships had to change their itineraries at the last moment and not go to the Mexican Riviera.
Many people were disappointed and cancelled their cruises....leaving many cabins on the ships empty.
To fill the ships the cruise lines are offering unbelievable deals....7 day cruises for less than $400 a person... and will be doing so until the middle of June.
The price goes up each week. John and I booked at $249 each...amazing last moment ...book and sail deal!!
If you are interested in booking one of these cheap cruises leave me a comment and give me your email and I will get back to you ASAP.
John and I became travel agents when we retired from teaching.
I booked 10 cabins for the cruise we were on... and we all had a great time on Carnival's brand new mega ship, Splendor.

We had a great trip. Can you tell from this picture where we went?

It was beautiful.

I am anxious to tell you ... and show you... all about it...

but I can't.... I just got notice that our electricity will be off all day starting in 1 minute.
Must run.
Thanks for your concern about me not posting for a while.
I am touched and appreciate all of your friendship.
Love, Lura

I knew I was missing someone's blog! Glad you're back, and trusting neither you nor John are showing any signs of THE FLU. Can't wait to see more, and I have NO idea where that picture is taken from!

I was just thinking I was missing my daily dose of Grammy.

What a fabulous opportunity.

Are there kid friendly cruises? Like my little kid friendly?

Hello! I have acutally seen your blog. I stumbled onto it after I found Erin's. You can reach me at pglasmann@gmail.com. I would love to take a cruise, but I have to convince Reed first!

Angie said...

Hi Lura - what a great deal you got for your cruise! You couldn't NOT take it up really. Looking forward to seeing where you went.

Glad you're back, btw, I missed you.

love, Angie, xx

Lura! It looks and sounds like you and John had a fabulous time! What pretty gardens. I would so love to go on a cruise. Perhaps one day. Ohh, I had a lovely e-mail from the Distributor and he told me that they are trying to hammer out a deal to start a new card line, "MY" card line! Can you believe it? I have to work harder on this patience thing of mine. He said he was my biggest fan! Keep your fingers crossed! I send you love and hugs. XXOO

The picute I do believe is from Buchart Gardens in Victoria. Ned and I traveled there two different times, and I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. If it isn't Buchart Gardens, then there is another place on this 'ole earth that I want to visit.

Would love a bit more information about the cruise deals. LOL

I missed you everyday you were gone and imagined what you were doing. Craig and I would talk about it with yearning hearts. But, we are having a great time (tiring too) taking care of our bsy little boys. Two more days. Can't wait to see all the photos and hear the stories.
