Second Honeymoon
Everything is all set. Preparations have been completed, clothes are already packed, and the itinerary has been planned. Jordan and I will be going on a week-end vacation in the Bahamas. I can see it clearly now, the cruise ship, the exotic food, and that romantic moonlight dinner in the ship. I can’t be more excited than ever.
Finally, the day I’ve been waiting for has arrived. We’re here at the pier, boarding the Luxury Line Kathrina. What a majestic cruise ship! No wonder it’s called the pearl of the Atlantic. It literally is one shimmering pearl in the blue ocean. Everything is just so lovely. The crew has been hospitable ever since we first stepped foot on the ship. The food has been great! The view of the ocean is so lovely. What makes it more romantic is the fact that I am sharing this memorable day with my husband, Jordan.
Jordan’s the only family I have. Since we have no kids, and that our parents both passed away already, we just have each other. I’ve known Jordan for quite a long time, and have been married with him for over 30 years now. Never has a day been dull with him around, and that I am rediscovering today in this cruise ship to the Bahamas.
We can call this our second honeymoon. Well, actually our first. When we got married 34 years ago, we didn’t have the money to go on a honeymoon. There was no time, no money, just our ragtag clothes, and our rings. But, hey, that was before, and now, we can enjoy the cruise together. We’re like a newly wed couple, enjoying the freedom, enjoying the life. Why shouldn’t we? I mean, we are married, you know. This will definitely be on of those trips that will surely be remembered, even as we grow older.

I’m sure you would have made a great mother. Your husband is lucky to have you. Most of us can only hope for the love you guys seem to share.

Wow! Honeymoon on a cruise is an excellent choice. Those cruise line ships are unbelievable. Some of them even have a skating ring, so you can enjoy some winter sports after your daily spa session.

A cruise certainly sounds like something I could do with. Life has been very hectic for me of late but unfortunately money is also very tight because of the recession and what not
