I must be such a horrible person - we went on a cruise last year and we were gone for about 10 days - I was excited to see them on the way home, but when we were on the cruise I honestly didn't think too much about home - nope, no guilt just pure enjoyment. Not much sense to pay that much money for the cruise and think about things you have no control over - nasty person, aren't I?? Go on the cruise, have the time of your life and on the way home get excited to see your pup! Hope you have a great time and have a drink for me!!
