Ok next Sun I leave from Austin to fly to Ft Lauderdale. I'll be staying with a cool Couchsurfer I found named Fernando that's right on the beach where my ship, "Navigator of the Seas" will be leaving for Rome on May 2 at 4:30 (ha or 4:20 even? HA!) with 3 Island stops on the way. The first Island will be Tenerife and I should be hitting it around May 10.
The Cruiseline Im taking is Royal Carribean and I got a great deal of $659 for everything, but I had to find a Travel partner to share a cabin which I did on Shipmates.com. His name is Bryan and lives in Arlington. He's taking a bus to Florida and it just so happened he wrote to Fernando too on Couchsurfing.com even before I did and made arrangements to stay there. What a cooincidence?! Well you know me, I DON'T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCE!" So I'll get back and post again on May first when I get to Ft Lauderdale and at Fernandos. I might also write something before then about what kinda things I'm packing for this long journey that is going to take 3-6 Months! Oh and I'll also post soon a map that has my coarse on it Charted so far where I plan to go.
