Going cruisin'

Yahoo! One more day before I go on my cruise to Phuket with the Other Half. We get on at Port Klang and the ship will stop in Penang, Krabi and Phuket.

Going on this holiday has been a go-not go-go-not go situation as the kids are still in school. Finally, we decided to go for it as:

1. we will not be able to go later on the year as my Other Half is running out of time to achieve her insurance target. (She will be going for her two-week incentive tour to Florida next month and it'll be May when she gets back);

2. my son's godparents have agreed to babysit the kids and the maid when we are away, including managing their transportation. God is great!

3. it has been a decade since we both went anywhere. While my Other Half has her annual company incentive tours, the last time we went abroad together was in 1996 to Beijing. How time flies...

So, while I am filled with trepidation as to whether my kids will be fine -- though I think they are also glad to be rid of us for a while, ha ha -- I am looking forward to sunset-watching in the high seas, six meals a day and best of all, getting down in Penang and Phuket to eat and shop! Yeah!
