You may have noticed that I've been quieter than usual on this blog lately. It's because I spent the last 10 days on a Caribbean cruise. Yes, I pre-wrote all the pieces you have enjoyed during this time and set them to come up at designated times so you wouldn't suffer from personal finance withdrawal. ;-)
I will give you all the gory details of the cruise (costs, plans, what went right, what didn't, and maybe even some pictures) over the next few weeks, but for the time being I have a few more days off work to dig out and get things back to normal.
If you made a comment to me and didn't get a response, it's because I was gone. If you sent me an email and didn't get a response, it was because I was gone. I'll try to work my way through them all, but if you really need to get in touch with me, the best bet is to re-send a note.
Anyway, the cruise was AMAZING and I can't wait to share the details with all of you.
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Looking foward to hearing all the details - this is one of the great reasons why we are careful with our money right? Glad you had a good time :-)

Welcome back. I know a few people who just took a cruise. Maybe you were on the same boat. I am glad that you were able to totally get away. I think that is healthy to turn off the email for an extended period of time.

Glad you had a good time and I'm looking forward to details. I've been wanting to take a cruise sometime myself.

I went on a cruise in March of 2011 and it was the best time of my life. I hope I can go again soon!

Glad to hear it went well.
Now is a good time to book a cruise with all the bad publicity from the Costa Concordia, I'm sure there are deals to be found.

Glad you enjoyed the cruise! My first cruise was a Southern Caribbean cruise in March of 2010, and this fall my husband and I are taking an Alaska cruise. Can't wait to hear some details. We got a lot of snow while you were gone, which was good because we were able to enjoy some snowmobile time, gotta love Michigan.

Welcome back! I have yet to be on a cruise - I'm worried that I would end up sea-sick and not enjoy it at all. I should definitely give it a try at some point though.
