are you following me at sea?

First full day of the Princess Cruise “Twitter Press Trip” is over.

I will admit I’m surprised and delighted I haven’t puked my guts out yet. We are following behind Hurricane / Tropical Storm Ida so the sea is a bit rough. If you haven’t cruised before but taken overnight train trips – it sorta feel similar (sorta). We docked in the Bahamas and it was a beach. I wasn’t overly impressed but the water was nice, the drinks were flowing and the sun was shining.

My favorite part of today was my hot stone massage. wow. I had no idea how amazing that was going to be! Not surprisingly my masseuses said I was the tensest / tightest person she has massaged…yah. I decided to sign up later in the week for a seaweed wrap….figure why the heck not?

Tomorrow a full day on a hopefully calmer sea!

Blogher and TBEX dinner

By Shanna, July 24, 2009 10:30 pm

twitterTonight was my first experience with meeting  fellow tweeters. Many, if not all, of the ladies at dinner tonight I felt like I’ve known for ages since I follow them but to guess who was who based on who an avatar …well that’s a whole ‘nother story. Some big personalities on twitter don’t necessarily match up with their in person persona (and vice versa) but all in all a stellar gathering at Heaven on Seven. Most of the women at dinner had children and blogged about travel with children – something I know very little about, but it was fantastic to chat with some of the ladies about how they work blogging, tweeting, updating, and travel into their busy lives.  I’m pretty pumped to see what more amazing tidbits I can take away from TBEX.
