BON VOYAGE

We finally decided on a cruise !!
As most of you know, our girls and families presented us with a certificate with a dollar amount toward the cruise of our choice on our 40th anniversary last November.
Friends of ours who are travel agents (see the url in the LINK box) found a great deal for us on an Alaska cruise. We will be leaving from Vancouver, B.C. on August 24th, so we will be cruising on Arlyn's birthday !! Woo Hoo !
Here is our itinerary:

We are very excited, and are trying to decide on what land excursions we want to book.

Both Arlyn and I are counting calories and trying to "GET FIT" for our trip. I also joined CURVES for women the middle of January and am really enjoying it. I NEVER dreamed that I would say I "enjoyed" exercising, but this program fits me perfectly! I go for 30 minutes on M-W-F.. We have also started going for walks now that the weather is a little more pleasant.
I haven't lost a huge amount of weight, but have done pretty well inch wise, and can fit into clothes that I haven't been able to wear for over a year.
