We Are CRUISIN'

I am SO EXCITED!!! (The capital letters and exclamation points are a dead give away). I have been working with my friend Sally Black of Stitchaway Tours to organize a Teacher's Cruise in 2008. This will be a cruise for all current and wannabe teachers of the needlearts (knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, counted thread, you get the idea). In 2004 and 2005 I hosted retreats for knitting teachers, but since that time have come to realize that all needlearts teacher share a lot of common ground.

Web pages and such will probably not be up of for a couple more days, but if you are interested, make sure you keep checking or drop me a note in the comments because we are going to be offering a very short term special discount for those who sign up in the first 3-4 weeks.

So do you want to know the itinerary -- do ya -- huh?!?!

We will be taking a Carnival cruise on the Glory sailing May 3, 2008 on a 7 day Western Caribbean Itinerary:

Sat May 3 - depart Port Canaveral 4pm (USUALLY embarkation starts @ 1pm)
Sun May 4 - Day at sea
Mon May 5 - Cozumel
Tue May 6 - Belize
Wed May 7 - Costa Maya Mexico
Thr May 8 - Day at sea
Fri May 9 - Nassau
Sat May 10 -Return Port Canaveral 7am

We will also be offering 12 hours of classes designed for needlearts instructors, having at least one cocktail party and expect to have all sorts of goodies. Non-teachers will be welcome as well and will still be able to participate in some of the fun group activities.

I can't wait -- May is usually a slower time for me, so I am excited to be able to spend some of that time with other teachers, learning, sharing, relaxing and having fun!
