Just My Rambling

After a few days of rest, I am finally feeling better. Surprisingly I managed to lose that extra weight that I gained on the cruise. Looks like I don’t have to eat those fat burners after all. I guess it is because I was not munching on junk food all the time. Instead, I just took naps & rested. A week of mom’s cooking and dad’s babysitting duties really do work wonders. How I wish my parents would stay longer so that I can get a little more rest but they will be leaving in a couple of days. Sigh..

Geeee… I sound really old!! Sorry for the lack of activity on my blogs lately. I have been having some pain in my legs that have been preventing me from sitting down in front of the computer. I am so glad my mom is here for this week to pamper me a little. At least I can just rest, mope around the house and do nothing even if it’s just for a few days. 

After a week out on high-seas, I’m back, a couple of lbs heavier! Other than that, it was a great trip. The weather was awesome and the seas were calm except for 1 night which was a little wobbly. I’m still trying to sort through a ton of photos. So stay tune. . . . . .

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It’s off to sea I’ll go . . . . . . .  Finally, I am off on my cruise to Alaska. I know there will be internet onboard but I think it will very expensive. So I have decided to leave my laptop and the cyberworld behind for 8 days. I have a feeling that I will try to sneak in just a little internet time while onboard. We’ll see. Just in case I don’t have access, I decided to finish up all my pending assignments. So please bear with me hor? I promise I will show lots of photos when I get back. Have a great week everyone! 

 P/S: For my fellow Photo Hunter friends, if you are looking for my entry,I didn’t manage to get it done this week. I will probably miss it next week too but I’ll be back after that. Thanks for dropping by.  

It is 1 am now and I have not even started packing for my cruise which is in a few hours!!! This week has been a crazy week. It is the last week of Chinese preschool and other activities for Lil’ C. So there were a lot of parties that we had to attend. There were also guests in my house who will be going on the cruise. So now I am starting to get a little stressed out. I am sure that my stress-related acne will start popping out soon. I wonder if they have acne treatment on board the ship. I am definitely going to need it.

to my vacation! Yay! I really am looking forward to just a relaxing trip. The best part of this cruise is that I dun have to plan my meals or lodging or be a navigator. Everything is already pre-planned and all I have to do is just relax, hopefully!

On another note, my parents just arrived back from the Canadian Rockies and they said that it was snowing there! Huh? It’s supposed to be summer!!!  I think the weather is just a little messed up.

My parents are in town with 2 of their friends. For the past 2 days, I have been very busy being a tour guide and showing them all the attractions of this town. This morning I discovered that I have lost 3 pounds in 2 days! I guess the walking tours are very effective in that weight loss. I think if I continue to be their tour guide for the next month, I can throw away the list of best diet pills that I had printed out. I definitely don’t need the list anymore.

My cruise vacation is coming up in less than two weeks. Even though I have already gotten my tickets, there are still many details that I need to finalize before boarding the ship. I have to decide on the shore excursions for the port of call and also make my reservations for my dining. There are so many restaurants on the ship that I am having a hard time deciding which restaurant I want to dine in. They even have 24 hour room service and the best part is that I don’t have to pay for them. It is all included in the ticket price. I think my husband, the foodie, will be ordering room service all the time. I guess I will have to put my weight loss plan on hold for a week since I know that I will be joining him in the eating feast.

I have been so busy cleaning every nook and cranny in my house these past few days. I didn’t realize it could be so dirty!! Don’t get me wrong! I do clean my house pretty often but I just don’t turn everything upside down and scrub every corner. But this time I did! Why? Because my parents will be here in 2 days along with a couple of their friends. I am exhausted but also very excited. This is the first time we’re having overnight guests at our place since we moved in a year ago. I think I should have more overnight guests, then I will clean my house more!! Hehe…..

Yup, that’s me for this past month! No, I didn’t get a job but I really do feel like one with all the travel plans that I have been making. Let’s see, since last month I have been planning for

• 2 camping trips
• Alaskan cruise
• hubby’s trip to Orlando
• my parents’ trip to Canada
• local tours for my parents & their friends
• round-trip transportation for my parents from CA and WA.

I have been researching, planning and booking all the flights, hotels, tours, campsites, cruise, rental cars etc etc ….. I think my head’s going through information overload!! Aaargh !!!!!

So, does anyone need a trip planner?
