For those of you that remember my “whining” not “wining” about lack of dancers on my last few cruises. Ras #2 and I, at the insistence of our members have decided to organize a dance cruise aboard the Carnival Splendor,  Sept. 27, 2009. I twill be 7 glorious days and nights of dancing, workshops and parties.

UCWDC Master Dance Instructor Mike Eads and his lovely wife Cassie, along with 12 year UCWDC competitor Joe Tschirhart will holding workshops on sea days and dancing the nights away on all of the ships dance floors.

You will have the time of your life, please help us to fill the dance floors aboard the Carnival Splendor.
Until Feb. 28th, 2009 you can hold your cabin for only $25. Hurry and sign up, as space is limited.

There will be no lack of dance partners and fun aboard this ship!

Bat Girl and Robin

It seems that the only souvenir I brought home from my Halloween Cruise, was laryngitis and bronchitis. I guess that sneaky little sucker “Murphy” managed to find his way on board without me seeing him. The real question is, “Was worth it”? Heck, yeah! A little Robitussen, and the fact that we went to Mexico and were able to buy “drugs”, (antibiotics and inhalers) kept me dancing until the wee hours.

The ship would not have been the same without Bat Girl and Robin to ward off the villians and ghouls of the night…………..we even managed to add Wonder Woman, the Scarecrow and Minnie Mouse to our pack!

The weather was lousy, the sea was rough, but a great time was had by all. We visited the ports of Belize, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Roatan, Honduras. I would say that Roatan was my favorite! It is an absolutely gorgeous island. I visited there twice this summer and am look forward to going again. The rain forest and snorkeling are phenomenal. Belize had to be my second fave. The zip line tour is a MUST!

As usual, however, there was very little “couples” dancing. Fortunately, my friend Jordan, was also on the cruise, so I was able to get in a few West Coast Swing dances. There were also a few Cha Cha and Two Step’s here and there. I have decided that I may just have to start learning the leaders’ part, as well as the followers’, so that I will be able to lead Ras #2 around the dance floor when a great song comes on!

Another remedy to this problem will be our own Dance Cruise. Stay tuned for details…………we hope everyone will join us!

Off, to let the night time “powers of healing” work on my “cruise crud”!!
