Last weekend I went on my first ever cruise with my Spa Weekend crew. For the past ten years, a group of girl friends has gotten together for a weekend without husbands and kids, where we do lots of talking, shopping and eating and of course the required spa treatments. Our first spa trip was to Napa valley in 1999 for Susan's bachelorette weekend. In the years since, we've gone back to Napa a few times, but have also relaxed in Carmel, Sonoma, Vacaville, and even San Diego one year! Since this year was our tenth, we had to do it in style . . .
We traveled on Royal Caribbean's "Monarch of the Seas" to Ensenada and back. This short cruise sailed on Friday night and returned on Monday morning. As always, it was great to get together and catch up.
Highlights of the cruise:
- The massage ... mmmmmmm
- Dancing out on the pool deck Saturday night
- The great service
- Bingo and Blackjack - a huge waste of money, but fun while it lasted!
- Cracking up over the spooky towel monkey (?) left in our cabin by the cleaning staff
- Sleeping on the top bunk again. It's been 16 years or so since the dorms!
- But mostly, talking, catching up, laughing, and just being with old friends.
