We just returned home from a much needed vacation. We went on a 4 day Caribbean Cruise with friends we met online. Let me clarify that last statement....we went with friends who are adopting too. Through coincidences, Stephanie and I met online about 1 1/2 years ago and have been sharing the adoption journey since then. They're using the same agency as us and our paperwork was sent to the CCAA at the same time. Odds are we will be traveling to China together and our babies will be from the same Social Welfare Institution (aka "orphanage"). It was nice to meet face-to-face and get to know Stephanie and Chris better.
We left out of New Orleans, so we were able to spend time in the French Quarter before we left. We had not been to New Orleans since Katrina, so it was nice to walk around. The food was nice too! We enjoyed gumbo and beignets before getting on the ship. The brief stop in New Orleans made us realize how much we miss visiting the area.
Our first day on the ship was spent at sea, so there was plenty of time for unwinding and relaxing. The second day was a stop in Cozumel. We all enjoyed a private beach and continued our plan of unwinding and relaxing. The third day was also at sea, so guess what, we relaxed and unwinded. We had to return home to the real world too soon, but were thankful for the getaway.
