That's right. I am going on a massively expensive, wonderfully indulgent, super duper long, vacation. I am taking a 14 day cruise around the Caribbean followed by two extra days in Barcelona, Spain. That gives me 90 days to lose 20 pounds, so I not only look fantastic while I am doing it, but so I can also eat all the food I want and not worry.
Here's what I will be doing:
Mon, Oct 23 Fly out of Washington Dulles to Istanbul
Tue, Oct 24 Istanbul, Turkey -- 8:00 pm Board the boat Royal Caribbean
Wed, Oct 25 Mykonos, Greece 2:00 pm 10:00 pm Gawk at Greek men
Thu, Oct 26 Kusadasi (ephesus), Turkey 7:00 am 6:00 pm Do something turkish... coffee?
Fri, Oct 27 Santorini, Greece 7:00 am 9:00 pm Eat some real baklava and stare at more greek men
Sat, Oct 28 At Sea -- -- Eat, sleep, gamble, eat and sleep
Sun, Oct 29 Dubrovnik, Croatia 10:00 am 5:00 pm I haven't a clue
Mon, Oct 30 Venice, Italy 12:00 pm -- Run around like a nut trying to see everything
Tue, Oct 31 Venice, Italy -- 3:00 pm And again run around like a nut then get back on the boat
Wed, Nov 1 At Sea -- -- Eat, sleep, gamble, etc...
Thu, Nov 2 Naples, Italy 8:00 am 8:00 pm Food and wine day

Tue, Nov 7 Barcelona, Spain 7:00 am -- Get off the boat, find hotel (Palace)
