Cruisin'

This post is a surprise from Erika. Mom wrote this, but I've been complaining and reluctant to help with matters of the Internet, as it is slow, it is expensive, and i am a selfish kid...anyway mom wrote this, it rocks and you should comment on it! Happy birthday tomorrow Mama!

We are on the NCL Gem heading to Malta. I am not great with Geography, so I was very surprised to see that we would be closer to Africa, than to Italy on our way to Malta. The ship is a giant grazing station, with continuous food stations to please any palate. We had breakfast delivered to our cabin, just in case we were too weak (from several hours without nourishment) to make it to the breakfast buffet.

Vacations for the Lenhart’s always included at least one health emergency, usually suffered by poor Briana. Bri fell off a bike in Disney, got food poisoning in Yellowstone, Sea sick in Key West, a sty in her eye in Paris. Erika has taken over her job on this trip. She has been bitten by invisible bugs on her legs, and has welts that we are referring to as Ebola-like. She doesn’t think this is very funny.

We have a balcony in our cabin and can watch the sea go by. It makes the tiny cabin “suite” seem bigger and brighter. I have decided not to buy the expensive shore excursions, but am splurging on the spa package on the ship. For a price we are allowed unlimited access to this cool spa on the bow of the ship. It has saunas, hot tubs, heated stone lounges etc. all geared to pamper. E &E are going horseback riding in Malta tomorrow.
