Dang
My wife, who has a great eye for value (well, except for marrying me, thank heavens), found a fabulous deal on a four day cruise to the Bahamas. Literally cheaper than a couple of nights in a really top level hotel and the food is included. (Don't be real impressed, there will be four of us in a shoe box-sized inner room - but we really don't plan on being in there a lot other than to sleep.) We're heading off tomorrow (blogging will be light since we'll be in transit and will be fairly spotty for the week, although I do intend to make time in the mornings for sure to get on here and keep abreast of things - the ship has internet). But my wife just walked in the office and said, "We haven't checked the weather, have we?" Which is a hint that is in all ways equivalent to a command. So I did. Forecast for Nassau according to Accuweather:
Well, it could be worse. The kids will get a kick out of it even if we never get off the ship. They already feel like big shots and their friends are very envious. (I don't think they told them about the accommodations, which include overhead bunks for the kids.) My wife and I have been on one other cruise, our belated honeymoon trip about three years after we married. We don't like to rush into things. That one was a 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise. (It cost a lot (a real lot) more than the one the four of us are taking this week, incidentally. That is what competition does - it drives prices down).

That’s a somewhat typical summer weather pattern forecast for the tropics. Every day storm clouds develop later in the day.

Where you are in the ship, you won’t see it anyway. Have fun and don’t get any of the dread diseases that cruise ships seem to come up with.
