ZombieNixon and I went to the Bristol Renaissance Faire today...

Post 'em if you've got 'em.

This time next week, I'll be in Venice. I'm in disbelief about it still, having been prepared to give a limb for years to go to Europe, and I'll finally be doing it. My grandparents are being incredibly generous for their 50th wedding anniversary, getting a bunch of family together for a Royal Caribbean cruise in the Mediterranean.

So my question is... has anyone been to any of the following places: Venice, Athens, Corfu, Myknonos, or Olympia/Katakolon? Any tips/advice would be appreciated, as I'm researching this trip. It is a cruise, so trips too far off of the beaten path are impossible, but any sites, etc. you liked/didn't...



Edit to add: Split, Croatia.

Post your pet pics if you've got 'em!

I love you...

I had that procedure done when I was her age, actually. I don't really remember anything, so it wasn't bad.

Edited to add that I *do* recall the pain of chronic ear infections, and it was much worse than any surgery.

Just want to say how happy a certain zombie makes me. He's adorable, hot, kind, funny, and sweet... I love you, baby.







Edit: More photos as per mom's request.

Dear God. I have no words.

That was great fun.

Well, probably forgotten by now, but I'll post it anyway. This is from when NewWaveChick1981 and I met up. Yes, she is as gorgeous and funny in real life.



And I'm adding some random beach pics from North Carolina:



Something I'm glad I didn't encounter swimming:



And my favourite part of the beach, the pier:

he got his wisdom teeth out today. He's full of meds right now, so I hope this might amuse him. Love you, baby.

I'm seriously crying right now. Thank you so much, baby... this means so much to me. I love you...

Thanks, Ma.

And happy birthday, sweetie.
