Gone Cruisin’

Just a note to let you know that you won’t be hearing much from me over the next week.  We will be on a very large boat somewhere in the Caribbean.  I am taking a huge step (for me) and leaving home both the iPhone and the MacBook.  I will probably sneak into the “computer lounge” on the boat at least once or twice to check personal email (and maybe the Clan Elysium forum), but other than that, I am off the grid!  With my usual high level of connectivity, going “cold turkey” should be an interesting experience, but I think I can do it.

The most interesting thing about this vacation is that we will be without children.  Well, sort of.  Obviously, “Jellybean” will be with us since you can’t really leave him/her home.  This is unusual for us as we haven’t taken a vacation without Kayla since before she was born.  My mom was gracious enough to come down to stay with Kayla and Kayla is very excited about getting to play with Nana all week.  Although, I’m not sure she realizes yet that it comes at the expense of mommy and daddy being gone.

Since I will have time to read and listen to my iPod (two things that are hard to do on vacation with kids), I picked up a few new tunes.  Joe Satriani’s “The Electric Joe Satriani: An Anthology” which is basically 2 discs worth of Satriani’s best which iTunes had for $9.99.  I also grabbed Fireflight’s “The Healing of Harms” which I just found out about recently.  They’re a somewhat Evanescence-esque Christian band.

So, enjoy the week and don’t trash the place while I’m gone, ok?!
