Carnival Cruise Lines

Michael just recently asked me to look into a cruise for our anniversary this year. Which sound like such a wonderful idea. Aparently with the military and him coming off a deployment he is able to get a very nice discount. But even with the discount it will still cost more than we or I may be willing to spend. It will probably be over a thousand dollars for the whole thing. The driving the gas the food. You have to pay extra for onshore activites and of course drinks and special things like that while you are on the ship. Plus the is a five dollar a day charge per person for fuel exspense. So there where some hidden charges. I just don't think we could afford it. I mean we need a new washer and dryer really bad. Lydia is going to need to move to a twin bed instead of a toddler bed soon. Michael and I could really use a new mattress and he is goin to need a vechilce after he comes home. So I really don't see how we are going to be able to afford a trip. Plus we are thinking about going ahead and pay off the jeep and Michael had a charge card while he is over there so we need to pay it off as well. I hate to be the one to tell him but I don't think we can go on a crusie. This stinks. I mean we really didn't even get a honeymoon after we got married and still have not done anything. This year will be our five year anniversary and Michael also turns 25. I don't know but I think we are going to have to figure something else out or wait until our 10 year. Of well, maybe another time.
