#47 Plant 100 Trees - The First

The first tree of the 100 I want to plant before I die.

#50 Take a Cruise - Done!

When I got an invitation to go on a bachelorette cruise, I jumped at the chance.  Not only did it satisfy #50 on my list, but I got to know a friend better, make some new ones, and step outside my comfort zone.  After a panicked renewal of my passport, we were off to Canada on a bus.

The cruise ship was ridiculously ornate, in a fun way.

They changed the rugs in the elevators everyday.

In case you forgot your day of the week underwear.

The lunch was a decent buffet.  Dinner was absolutely delicious, but extremely tiny.  Good thing all the food was free.

The on-board activities ranged from lounging poolside to karaoke to basketball.

Hot tub!

We've got mad basketball skills in our little dresses.
I had a hard time getting used to the rocking ship at night but overall it was a really fun experience.


I'm afraid I can't provide any more detail about the bachelorette activities.  What happens on the booze cruise, stays on the booze cruise.
