So Jenny and I are off to take our cruise. For various reasons (not least that internet time onboard is something like $5 a minute), I am posting these after the fact. Pictures of the cruise are available here. The full list of cruise posts is available here.

Cruise: Day 7 (At Sea)

Today is, of course, Jenny's birthday. She got up early and watched the sun come up on the main deck (I had intended to go with her for this, but I thought she was going to the gym and failed to get up). We went and had breakfast, at which Jenny ordered the world's Largest, Blandest Bloody Mary (seriously, think Lauren's Amazing Technicolor 21st Birthday Drink, except in red and not very tasty). We then arrived at the Lotus Spa for a couple's massage. The parts of it that didn't hurt were quite nice :-D and I think we both enjoyed it, though we're not really "massage people".

After the massage we had a leisurely afternoon; then we dressed up nice and went to dinner. Awaiting us were a nice trio of peach-yellow roses (ordered by moi) and a custom entree of gorgonzola risotto and asparagus (ditto, though specified by the birthday girl originally), which was probably the best dinner all week. :) We fell asleep somewhat early in anticipation of early departure tomorrow.
