Welp, we’re off to Florida. In a car. Yep.
We’re cruising to Mexico with my college friends and back when I was convinced we were leaving from Port Canaveral, driving seemed like a good idea. It was later brought to my attention that we’re leaving from Ft. Lauderdale. An 8-hour drive is tolerable. 12 hours is unbearable.
Good thing we fueled up with a lovely empty-the-fridge lunch. I mashed up avocado and a Dr. Praeger burger on Udi’s bread and then sauteed any straggling veggies in the fridge so they wouldn’t feel left out and abandoned.
As for the drive, we’re stocked with:
- Apples
- Watermelon
- Trail mix
- Veggie chips
- Larabars (PB choc and key lime)
- Cinnamon stars
Will I eat all of that in 8 hours? Yes, probably.
Aaaaand we’re off.
PS – Aren’t you devastated watermelon season has come to a close?
Viva la MEXICOOOOO!



Have an awesome trip. The kitties and I will try not to party too hard without you guys
Aw, I love that Brittney’s watching the cats. I know they will be in good hands!
Have fun! Scope out the cruise internet capabilities for a blogger meet-up.
Have fun and be safe!
Have fun! Are you going to post some of your eats from the cruise? I find it sooooo hard to get in enough veggies and whole grains while cruising. I’m interested to see how you manage
Oh I’m on it
Waaaaaaaah!
THIS college friend wants to be going SOOO badly and would much rather be cruisin’ with y’all than checking in students from 7am-7pm on Saturday. I’ll swap your 12 hour drive for my 12 hour shift. :-/
Love and miss y’all. Take LOTS of pictures!
Have a safe drive! And 12 hours is a long drive. We made it a few weeks ago. Take lots of stretching and potty breaks. Hopefully you have some entertaining company.
Haha! That sounds like me packing for a road trip. I love to pack my own food. I can’t stand to depend on what we might find to eat. Blech. I hope you have a fabulous time!
Have so much fun! I love cruises!
My husband and I were just having the watermelon debate last night. He loves watermelon with a bit of salt.. and while I love the smell I really just don’t like watermelon! The only melon I like is cantaloupe — yum!
