Wednesday in paradise...


I got a phone call yesterday from Carnival offering me an "upsell" to a suite.  Of course I took it, it wasn't that much more money.  Years past at the last minute like this they would just upgrade you, they were lovingly called the "upgrade fairy" but no more, now they let you upgrade for a price but much less than the original price.  Anyway it's all good and we are happy.  Frankly I'd be happy anywhere just so I can go.  But with three of us in a cabin it is much nicer to have more room and a larger balcony.

Plus now we'll be near "old what's-his-name" and Mary Lou!  (Right Paul?)  

My toes are ready too.  Remember you have to go through the toe check before you can board.  I think that's why they make you take off your shoes at airports now too, they tell you it's for security but I think it's really that they won't let you on the plane if your toes aren't done.  

Tax stuff is trickling in now.  Soon I'll have to find another person to do mine this year.  Last year was a disaster, not for the return but for the person doing it and what she charged me.  That won't be happening again.  No siree.

So that's about the extent of my brain today.  Hope your day is perfect.  You know where I'll be...

  1. An upgrade at a reasonable price is always good, shame it wasn't free though eh? ;)

  2. I can't imagine a suite. srsly. I get the cheap, little box room. But I do get my toes done, for sure!

    If I ever get my bank statements I'll be ready for my CPA... as soon as I get my packet from him. I do things daily throughout the year so I am pretty much always ready... and waiting on somebody else.

    Have a lovely pre-cruise kinda day! big hugs xoxo

  11. My toes and nails were done to perfection each time I cruised. I know about that rule.

    I can't imagine not having a suite on a cruise ship. I just can't. If your going to be gone that long then I want to stretch out when I come back to my room. Just saying.

    Have a terrific day honey. Big hugs. :)

  16. Bee, so glad you got an upgrade. I will be doing my own toes, well I already have. Not sure if I will do my fingernails or not, too much going on here this week with James I have been too stressed. But guess what? I get to see my favorite Empress in just a few days.

    Big Hugs,
