Even Muses Need a Vacation...

This weekend did not go as planned. After helping my sister and her husband - Terpischore and Mr Fixit - move to a new home, I had zero energy for sewing, running, cooking or basically anything except staring at the tv. However, I did have one major accomplishment: booking vacation with my sister, Calliope and her two boys....


After last year's Martha's Vineyard beach house getaway, our criteria for this year was that someone else do the cooking, cleaning, driving, and excursion planning. In other words: a cruise. So, on August 21, we will be heading to Tampa, where we will board the Carnival Legend for 7 days of cruising. Honestly, this is a very different sort of vacation than the active/walking-tour/ see everything kind Phin and I normally take. But with Orpheus (7) and Linus (4) in tow, we need something easy. And, in fact, Phin decided that he would bow out and then he and I will do something more our speed the following week.

Here is where we are headed...


...Grand Cayman, Cozumel (Mexico), Isla Roatan (Honduras), and Belize. With any luck I will be able to sneak off for some scuba diving and/or snorkeling in one or more of our destinations. I can't wait. I'm already picturing myself relaxing in a deck chair with a frozen drink in hand...
