Spring Break!

It is unbelievable that this is my last spring break I will ever have! They always say that time flies when you're having fun. :) For spring break my freshman year, I visited my friend at Cornell and my other friend at UMich. But these past two years I have spent my spring break on cruise ships which is what I am doing this year as well!

My cruise does not take sail until Monday so I am planning on going back to my parents house prior to the cruise to see my family but especially to see my cat. Unfortunately, the vet found cancer in my cat's eyeball and was forced to do surgery to remove the entire eye. The cat is basically my child and midterm week has been killing me because I have not had time to go drive home to see him post-surgery. Making sure my cat is okay is a priority on my list right now for the break. My friend/sorority sister/roomie Jamie is going to come home with me so I can have company on the drive.

We are going to leave my parents house on Sunday morning to drive down to our mutual friends house in Southern Florida. We plan on staying at her place Sunday night so we are closer to the Miami port for our cruise leaving Monday evening. We will be spending the night sailing the ocean on Monday night and when we wake up Tuesday morning we will be in Great Stirrup Cay, The Bahamas. I think that my group of friends will end up just hanging out on the beaches of Nassau because the excursions to pick from were pretty limited.

Most likely, we will spend the next night seeing a show on board or going to the casino on the ship. My favorite thing about cruises is spending time on the ship. I love exploring around the ship and seeing everything it has to offer. I am a little disappointed that this cruise will not have any "day at sea" but I guess that will just make this spring break unique! The next day we will be in Nassau, The Bahamas that should have many more excursions to choose from. My group of friends and I have started to look into some excursions but I personally feel that I have spent enough money already so I am not looking that deeply into spending more money on excursions.

Finally, the last port we will be visiting is Grand Bahama Island. I have been to the first two ports before on other cruises but I have never been to Grand Bahama Island. I am excited to see a new place and what it has to offer. After going on cruises for the past two years, this cruise should hopefully go by smoothly. It is always difficult to keep track of everyone without the ability to use our phones. It is exciting to finally be able to use some of the money I earned this past summer to have fun on spring break.

After my cruise, I plan on going back to my parents' house and spending time with my family until classes begin. It is so nice to know that I will have zero schoolwork to do over spring break and I can take a full week to just relax.

I hope everyone has a safe spring break!
