The Celebrity Solstice cruise:
Part 1: Relaxing

Celebrity Solstice deck lounge chairs

In Part 1 of my Celebrity Solstice preview cruise series I am going to tell you how I relaxed on the ship and how you can too.

Boy, the cruise went by so fast.  Among going to executive forums, ship designer forums, PR meetings, and eating I was on the go from dawn till dusk.  I did not sit down at a pool once but I passed them at least three dozen times.
I did however, sit on the lawn. THe Patio on the Lawn is on the highest deck of the ship without roof to obstruct my view of the sky, no hard floor under my bare feet, just soft, plush grass.  After passing through The Lawn I headed for the AuquSpa where I was fortunate enough to get a Swedish Massage.  While waiting for my massage, I was sent to the relaxation room where I gazed out of the ceiling to floor windows and I just happened to be there when the sun was setting so the view was astonishing.  The relaxation room is full of chase lounges each having a plush blanket, pillows and side tables on which you can put your cup of tea or book.  The relaxation room trumped eating a box of chocolate hands down!

Getting ready for the Celebrity Solstice cruise.. tomorrow!

Celebrity Solstice 11.03.08The Celebrity Solstice cruise is tomorrow.. or today if you're reading this Friday.  We are boarding the ship around noon and I will be sharing my experience with our readers (you!) all day Friday and Saturday. 

I am having a really hard time knowing that I am leaving both kids tomorrow.  Sebastian, 9 years old, knows and understands that we will be gone for a couple of days but Madelyn (2 years old) has no idea.  Unfortunately, Madelyn hasn't spent a night without me, EVER.  To think that she is going to wake up tomorrow morning and I will not be there is really tough for me.

Getting ready for the Celebrity Solstice cruise has been a bit of a challenge.  I had to take both the kids and myself to the doctor Wednesday which is the day I had sort of 'dedicated' to organizing and packing for the trip. 
Sebastian is sick, I was diagnosed with something a little unexpected and both kids got a flu shot.  Today, Madelyn came down with a slight fever and a runny nose which I hope is not an infection but because of the flu shot and will (please please) go away very quickly. 

Well, get ready to be bombarded with exciting news about my Celebrity Solstice cruise trip including photographs and videos.  You can read more about the cruise and why I am going on it here.
