Mayercaft Carrier Day 1: We're Cruisin!

So much happened on the Mayercraft already, I thought it would make sense to break my daily reports into smaller pieces. That way, those of you who are friends of Meg and Michelle and only want to know what kind of silliness we're up to can skip all my rhapsodizing about Mr. Mayer get to the stuff you want to read. So here goes the Meg and Michelle portion of the program.

One of the silly but unfortunately required things you have to do on a cruise is a lifeboat drill. Nothing like putting on a life vest when you're already hot enough! At least the crew let us not be serious long enough to snap a self-portrait.



And since our room has a balcony, I had to take the mandatory "wind-in-your-hair-enjoying- vacation-already" photo.



While I was doing that, Michelle perused the spa service list. Debated on getting facials, but that normally doesn't go so well with being in the sun. Maybe a massage later....



Then we got some food, grabbed a cocktail, and pulled out the cards. Yes, cards! Anyone who's known us a while knows we are incapable of getting together without many games of Gin being involved. And we have gin & tonics to go with them! Michelle is grinning like a fool here because she kicked my ass all afternoon....something insane like 4 hands won in a row.



So we will also be giving you a "Bridget Jones" style status update throughout the trip, something like this.

Hands of cards played: 6 (Michelle 4, Meg 2)
Alcohol units consumed: 12 (not each, if that's what you're thinking!)
Michelle's minutes of Crackberry use since getting underway: 0 (unless she's lying to me)

And now on to something completely different....
