I guess I fucking booked a cruise.

I've been thinking about it for a few months, and the fact that it showed up in a dream means I might as well go and do it.

I've been saving money for years and will never own a house, so what's $2000 for a week getting absolutely drunk at a sci fi con for old people. That's how much WorldCon cost me in the end, and it didn't even have food included.

I went with virgin mostly for the no kids thing, but the actually paying their staff and letting them use the satellite uplink for free makes it slightly less abhorrent of a luxury product.

Things I'll probably do: * See if the guided stargazing group from a 2021 blog post is still a thing * See if I'm too fat for any of the scuba lessons * Kbbq * See if the sports bar will let me watch pro wrestling * Ask if the drink coupons I got comped cover either the pub crawl or the paint n sip, hopefully both

I hope I have enough nice warm weather clothes, because as a fat nerd the majority of my clothes are band shirts. I guess it's time to splurge and do my annual clothes shopping.
