Bon Voyage

[Byebyemermaid]

We've waited a year but on Saturday we're taking our first cruise ever.We're on the Norwegian Dawn so if it happens to get hit by a rogue wave near Bermuda or the Bahamas you'll know that the Mermaid is finally out to sea.I'm suprising our son thanks to the generosity of one of my accounts and we're getting picked up by a 10 passenger stretch limousine for the same price as a regular cab.It's been a real hectic year and my wife and i are looking foward to doing nothing.Since i told my wife not to take her laptop you won't be hearing from me for about 10 days.From us here in NYC enjoy the rest of the summer and have a happy and most important safe Labor day weekend.

Have a wonderful time- I'll be thinking (enviously) of you and your family while I sweat it out at work this weekend. Hurray for family trips! We make fun of them, but they really are the trips we always remember our whole lives long.

The thing i'm looking foward more than anything is not having to drive.I'm on the road everyday and when we've gone down to Florida we've driven there.The last time i went any period of time where i didn't drive was when we went to Israel in 1999.

Have a relaxing cruise.

Was that not the vessel that everyone on board had bouts of explosive bowel movements and projectile vomitting?
The vessel that they could never figure out why...

Ahhhh. It was probably a one time event.

Cool.
Just give it to my wife please.
We will let her figure it out.

Dont forget your Personal Flotation Device.
They sell em at Walmart with a little pocket
specially made that has prepackaged the Peptobismol.

Also. Dont Pirate Talk. I tried Pirate Talk on a cruise
and they beat me. They said it was akin to saying
you are a terrorist on an Arline Flight. They strapped
me to the yaaaRRRd arm and lashed meself.

They also claimed I harrassed other mates. So dont
yell THAR SHE BLOWS into the Captain's ear when
an especially large passenger on deck walks past
the bow. I thought I would be helpful. Dont you
fall into this trap because I know you are the type
to take on the task of insuring the safety of the
vessel just like I did.

GET it out of your system before you board.
Lord knows its tempting to Pirate Talk on a cruise.
