The Excitment Builds

Two weeks from today is my cruise. It seems to be taking a long time to finally get here. I think we booked it back in like April. All the shore excursions are booked. The people traveling with us are excited, but then any reason to get out of Jackson, MS would be exciting. Over the weekend I got a new tuxedo, seems the one that I had shrunk terribly while hanging in the closet. I hate when clothes do that. The ties were returned when a nearby store had black silk ties for $12.99 each, as opposed to over $90 for the two from the men' store where the tuxedo was purchased. I even got my haircut so I will be able to get it under control by time we set sail.
With the cruise leaving on the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday, I will not see some coworkers for three weeks. Though I may work the morning the cruise departs for a few hours. Will be easier than just sitting around waiting, and the office is within site of the cruise terminal. The past two cruises have been from Rome and Barcelona, so lots to do in those cities before departure. And with Rome, the port is about an hour away from town, so we took the train, made the cruise more of an adventure. My roommate had wanted to get a shuttle, but they were $170 per person round trip, the trains and cab from the station was only $80 total for both.
