You are getting so close?!?!  How is everything going?  Any word if FI is going to deploy??

I know!!! I am still in shock I think. It's going pretty well. Only a handful of items left and then it should be smooth sailing. I checked the weather for Miami for the next 10 days and it was rain every day. I'm hoping it will clear up for us. I have had some major issues with the cruise line last week. They sent me my "final" letter and there were a lot of things wrong. For example, I had requested a white cake with chocolate filling and they had us down for a chocolate cake with raspberry filling- not even close. They had our stateroom number wrong on the first page. And five of our guests' names were spelled incorrectly, including my father's name. As far as the deployment, he will be deploying in May to Africa. FI actually will be out of town at drill all weekend so I should be able to get a lot done for our AHR stuff. He has been making up his drill for October this past week since he was going to miss our AHR if he didn't. We got lucky that his 1st Sgt is nice enough to let him make it up.

Africa in May..that's not SOO bad.  Ugh, i can't even imagine the heat!!!  But atleast he'll be around for a good chunk and not leaving right away! I've cruised a bunch with our family and I can say..there is always something wrong prior to boarding!  But they generally always get it fixed by the end of the first night, so hopefully they'll get it all fixed before you even sail!!!
