I guess thats why we call you "Hillbilly"
You can take a 7 day cruise through the Carribean for about $1.000 per person including airfare from your hometown to Miami,and back.Not an outside cabin with a deck,but the whole ship goes to the same place at the same time! Everyone eats the same food.The food I have eaten,even on Carnival Cruises was 3-4 *s.If you figure airfare from Chicago,to Miami,to Jamaica,to Cayman Islands,to 2 ports in Mexico,to Miami,and back to Chicago.Well,you do the math.The routine is to sail at night,arrive in a port at morning,day in port,set sail at sunset,etc.In Jamaica we visited a working plantation,saw planting and harvesting of fruits, vegetables,"canela",I don,t think I can spell"cinnamon"?We went to "Dunn,s River Falls",a must,and an open market,cost $50 each including lunch and mucho rum punch!Set sail to arrive in the am at Georgetown Grand Cayman.Day at the most beautiful beach I have ever seen,including a picnic of roasted chicken with all the side dishes.The hotel analogy is a good one.You have the same room for the week,yet visit 5 or 6 different cities(Islands)You don,t have to pack and un-pack everyday!24 hr. room service.Best bang for your buck on the vacation market.Try it, your wife will love you for it! .Oh!,How about a nice Cubano cigar in the smoking lounge after dinner?Care for a Brandy with that?Criss CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
