Almost Home

Greetings from the Bahamas (at least an island owned by the cruise line in the general vicinity of the Bahamas)! First off, we'd like to apologize for not posting more this week. The Internet access on the ship is EXTREMELY slow, which makes it almost impossible to write a blog entry, plus it's expensive. So you pay for 100 minutes, but you spend 65 of that waiting...for...things...to...load. It's pretty awful. We heard Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) referred to as "No Cash Left." In some ways, this is true...

In any case, we've had a fun trip, and we'll have lots of pictures when we get home. Since San Juan, we've visited Antigua, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and this private island where we're docked this afternoon. Tomorrow we'll be back in Miami. If anyone has any thoughts on what to do in Miami from 10am until 7pm with two large pieces of luggage in tow, please leave it on my cell phone. It could be a long day of $11 cheeseburgers and travel Scrabble at the airport.

We've had no news from our adoption agency, which I guess is positive at this point. We're excited to get home and move forward with that process. Erin got so excited this morning that she disrobed in front of a family trying to enjoy their muffins and omelettes. Somehow she managed to catch the buttons on her skirt on something near their table, and her skirt basically tore off. Poor girl has had a rough week of humiliation. First it was havnig to board a cruise with yours truly, second was the multiple forms of humiliation inflicted by the Newlywed Game, and finally her standing in her underwear while someone at a nearby table says "Hey, isn't that chick with no pants on the one from the Newlywed Game? Kinky..." You would not believe how many times we've been referred to as "that couple from Indiana from the Newlywed Game" in the elevator. It's been traumatic.

We'll post pictures early next week. It would take me about a year to post one via this connection on the ship. Off to the soft serve machine...
