At Sea

When I was a girl and went to overnight camp we sang a horrible song around the campfire about the Titanic.  The chorus included the frightful line "husbands and wives, little children lost their lives".  I will spare you, Dear Diary, the rest of the lyrics.  Suffice it to say, it left a lasting impression.  I must be the only person in America who did not watch the movie Titanic or see the Poseidon Adventure.

With the news of the Costa Concordia disaster, many folks are rethinking their love of cruising.  I am not one of them.  I adore cruising, notwithstanding my old campfire sing-alongs. 

Since Port Everglades is only a piece down the road (located here in Hollywood) it's not necessary to worry about flights or hotel stays to grab a cruise.  It's a relatively cheap vacation when you consider food (lots of food), entertainment, exotic ports of call and accommodations are all included.  Best of all, when you step on a cruise ship you are instantly disconnected from your smartphone, laptop and the rest of your obligations.  After all, there is not much you can do about anything from the middle of the ocean.
