Caribbean Cruise

I found out a couple of days ago that I won the grand prize drawing at the recent AAA travel show: a seven day cruise Feb. 20 - 27 on the Royal Caribbean line. It is free, except for the airfare to the starting place--San Juan, Puerto Rico. It stops at some wonderful places, so we decided to go: St. Thomas, St. Croix, Dominica, St. Kitts, and Barbados.

We are both really excited about the trip. This will be our first cruise--and a relatively free one, at that. Sunday we leave for a week at the Isle of Palms (near Charleston), so we will be having a sunny time this winter.

Alan is playing with Houser and Company at Machiavelli's in Bristol tonight. They are a fun, talented group, and I really enjoy listening to them. I'm not too keen about getting out of the cozy house on a rainy night, but I will because I like the music and watching Alan play. This afternoon he was practicing a great Paul Simon tune that had a wonderful beat. I always go to these gigs separately; that gives me the option to show up at the starting time and leave whenever I want to. I hope that some of the other "wives" are there. Being a 66 year old woman alone in a bar can get strange sometimes.
P.S. the next day: It went fine; I saw some people I knew and hung out with them. The band sounded great.
