Okay, we've discussed lots of different things, but I wonder what -
besides the workday - do you NOT miss while cruising? Or, is there a time
of year you'd like to cruise to get away from [insert your thought here].

For me, cruising during the last week of any political campaign
to escape the daily media bombardment upon my senses would be a good one.
(Yeah, even if that week were during hurricane season, I think I'd rather
be on a ship in the Caribbean rather than being subjected to political
billboards, print ads, radio spots, and commercials!)

Any other things folks would not miss???

Telephone, television, my children.

Any stateside media, although I do like the island radio stations.
Brown river water. My jobs (although I do love them, I like getting
away too)...

What do I NOT miss while cruising? THE TELEPHONE!! My phones ring all
day at the office so I am thrilled not to have to hear that danged
ringing!! I'm a couch potato, too, but I have to admit that I don't
miss tv while I'm gone either!

I do miss my r.t.c. while I'm cruising tho'!

I second the motion for mindlessness... I would also like to add pagers and
traffic jams...

Annie,

I hope that you cast an absentee ballot before you go. We have to get
the scoundrels out and vote in some people who will do something about
the obscene amount of money that is being spent on political campaigns!
Money that could be better spent to feed the hungry and house the
homelsss.

There is NOTHING that I miss when I am cruising, with the exception of my kids if
they are not with me.

The telephone, both at work and at home! :) News, on the radio and
newspapers! Don't watch tv news ever, so that is no different.... Linda

Watch a lot of TV when I'm home. Don't even think about it on a cruise.
Basically, I don't miss much of anything or anybody when I'm cruising.
A week goes by pretty quickly, unfortunately, so I just enjoy, enjoy,
enjoy.

My VCR is doing all the TV watching while I'm on a cruise. I then have LOTS of
TV-watching catching up to do when I get home :-)
