Lisa, I can imagine that you would think about the cruise alot. You are getting married on it! I was talking to my niece yesterday and she is honeymooning at Disney World and she was saying that she is more excited about going to Disney than she is about the wedding! She just wishes there were more honeymoon 'perks'. I think it is so nice that you planned your shower on your mom's birthday. That's a nice way of honoring her and I'm sure she will 'be there' watching over you. Is the ceremony actually on the ship or on the beach?
Karen, that's really great that you share your passion with kids. It is really wonderful for them when they see someone who is really excited by the arts and it's hard for the schools to offer as much with their budgets getting cut all the time. We live in Dundas in Ontario, Canada. It is a very small town about and hour's drive west of Toronto.
