The cruise

Buni, Pepe and I went on a cruise again this year. We met Radu, Ilii, Ioana, Jeremy and Landen in Miami where we spent a couple of days at Joe's house. The weather was great, and it was nice to celebrate New Years there. We missed Chris, but he had a blast back in Boston where he got his fill of friends, concerts and good food. Win, win for all.....well, not really. Read on and you'll see what I mean.

The next day in Miami I got sick. Some stomach bug, I think. I vomited an entire day. There are few things worse than vomiting. I'll leave it at that. But then I felt better, which was a huge relief. You don't want to get on a boat with a stomach bug. We cruised from Jan 2nd to Jan 7th: Buni, Pepe, Radu, Ilii and myself. We went from Miami to Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Grand Cayman, and back to Miami. The weather was not particularly great, but we still got to see the sun, wear T shirts and basing suits. Pepe was ...a little difficult. Thank God for the kids room over there, which he loved. He was not tall enough for the water slide, which I had thought it was going to be a huge hit, and kinda got bored on the ship. His sleep was completely off and it was a huge struggle to get him down at night. Lets just say that I missed Chris the most during those sleep struggles....Having Buni there helped a lot, but Pepe knows how to get what he wants from Buni, if you know what I mean... Anyhow.... here are a couple of pics...

Really bad pic of me and Pepe, but you all know that we are mucho gorgeous in persons. Below are my mom and Radu, the sibs! Can I please look like my mom when I get to be in my mid sixties?
