Okay, here are "My Favorite Things" about our cruise.
Raindrops on deck and whiskers on my towel kitten;
Bright copper kettles making chocolate cake meltin';
Brown paper packages I didn't bring back from Jamaica;
These were a few of my favorite hings-tahs.
Cream colored skin-called a tan for my skin tone;
Late nights playing cards, John calling on the room phone;
Wild fish that fly with the sun on their fins;
These are a few of my favorite thin's.
When the boat rocked,
When my stomach flipped,
When I felt jet lagged,
I simply remembered I am not doing dishes
And then I didn't feel so bad!
Fresh bread and butter at dinner was just right;
Feeling my waistband slowly get tight;
Robert 'dancing' but Neil is dignified;
These are a few things I still miss each night!
Ordering hors'de ouvres and knowing how to say that;
Again, towel animals but the seal not the cat;
Leaving my towels, wet on the floor;
No one is picking them up for me anymore!
I could go on forever, but I won't.
Well maybe just TWELVE more things!

Another Top Ten
You've inspired me, Tony.
Here's my Caribbean 2009 Top 10 Things I Learned on Vacation (in no particular order of importance or impact on my life):
10. Cate does not enjoy showering.
9. Danny does not know how to whisper.
8. My children will never share a room. (I actually already knew that. This trip just solidified it for me.)
7. I am not elegant.
6. Diet Dr. Pepper doesn't own me as much as I thought it did.
5. A glass elevator can provide hours (ok, maybe just minutes...but it felt like hours) of enjoyment.
4. It is very possible to have too much of a good thing (that chocolate cake).
3. Do not let Danny enter the room first. If you do, the towel animal will be destroyed before it can be enjoyed.
2. It is hotter than Hades in Cozumel.
1. The drunkards at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville are quite entertaining (and a little bit scary).
And since I am not capable of having a pictureless post...
Love ya, Aunt Doozy!
