Cruise lamentations

So, Ryan and I have returned from Cruise the Fourth last week. It was heavenly!! Why, do you ask, do I have lamentations then?

  • First of all, we came back and our power was totally out in our bedroom and bathrooms upstairs, pretty much the rooms we use most. So, the breaker kept tripping and yeah, we still don't have power in those rooms, so now Ryan finangled all of the outlets and extension chords to use some lamps in our bedroom, but alas, bathroom, showering in the dark is interesting.
  • Also, apparently a big windstorm came about while we were gone and several branches had fallen off the trees, and half our corn fell over in our garden. Sad.
  • Finally, the biggest lamentation, is even though the cruise was HEAVENLY, we have managed to misplace our camera. I realized it in the middle of the night when we were finally lay down to go to sleep (at 130am) and I just felt sick. I immediately got up and called Thrifty thinking we had left it in the car rental we had, but they apparently only have voicemails for the lost and found department and it can take several days before they get back to you. So, now, instead of posting and reliving our cruise experiences, we have nothing... but memories. And I know there are a lot worse problems, in the world than my lamentations, but alas, it would have been nice to come home to a powered house, perfect yard, and pictures to share with everyone :)

It IS so unpleasant to come home from a glorious vacation to things in disarray...or in me and Peter's case, 3 kids getting sick!
And how tragic that your camera is lost!!! I'd be nauseous about it too...that, and crying!! I surely hope that it is eventually found!

That's so sad about your camera! I hate that feeling you get when you realize you've left something so important somewhere. I'm sure you'll get it back. I'm glad that you had a good cruise, too bad you had to come back to reality so quick!

I keep checking your blog hoping for cruise pics - because that would mean you found your camera. Any luck yet? Hoping so!

Bummer about the camera! I guess that means you'll just have to re-do the cruise and get more pictures!? Glad to hear you had fun,though! Sounds like a blast!
