The wife and I were fans of cruises before our son decided to enter the world and put a screeching halt to them. I work too damn hard to not relax on vacation, and cruises are very relaxing.

I have some family that has a vacation home in the Caymans. It's amazing there.
Super cheap green, you can catch anything you want from the beach, or take a boat out, and you can sell what you catch and don't eat to the market. Great weather.

@Giggles, D's sounds like a great honeymoon. I did a cruise for mine and it was great, but that was before the issues of floating toilets without electric and the whole boat with food poison. I haven't checked in awhile but something tells me cruises are pretty cheap right now considering the last couple of years.

Our apartment looks directly onto the cliff/Table Mountain...breathtaking views indeed, Mo!
And I think Figgy hit the spot with a cruise suggestion as well. The wife and I done one around the Med and if you ignore the "Blue Rinse Posse" then you got 24hour munchies, 24 hour luxury, and a new port everyday with no hassle of transportation. I can only imagine that the ones running around the Caribbean and such are amazing as well. My old dear goes on a cruise pretty much every other month....

WASHINGTON -- Even longtime supporters of marijuana legalization were surprised early Friday morning when the House of Representatives voted for an amendment that would prevent the Drug Enforcement Administration and federal prosecutors from targeting medical marijuana in states where it is legal.
"Quite frankly, many of us who were sponsors of this amendment… didn't expect to win and were surprised by the margin of that victory this morning," Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) said at a press conference Friday morning, less than nine hours after the vote.
"While I always knew it would happen sooner than most political observers thought, it's still hard to believe this just happened," said Tom Angell, the chairman of Marijuana Majority.
"Based on our internal whip count I knew there was a chance this might pass, but we had to just about run the table with our swing votes. When I saw the vote total, I was shocked -- not so much that it passed, but by the margin," said Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project. "I figured we might get lucky and pass it by 5-10 votes, but never thought a 30 vote margin was a possibility."
At the press conference with backers of the amendment Friday morning, members of the House said the vote should send a message both to the administration and to the medical marijuana industry.
"The heart and soul of the Republican party is that pro-freedom, individual philosophy that Reagan talked about," said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), the primary Republican pushing the amendment. "I think that what we've got now and what we have here in the Republican vote last night were people who took a lot of those words and the philosophy of Ronald Reagan to heart."
The amendment the House passed is attached to an appropriations bill that would fund the DEA and Department of Justice, among other agencies. While both the amendment and the bill aren't guaranteed to make it through the messy appropriations process, supporters said it should leave no doubt where the House stands.
"This is a will of Congress vote," said Polis. "We all are realists here, we know that we haven't had an appropriations process in some time, it's likely that it will be omnibuses in the future. We don't know where this particular amendment and particular bill are going. It's the will of Congress: it has ramifications for banking, for insurance, for a number of other issues that effect the industry."
"The president famously said that he had bigger fish to fry, but there are 93 U.S. attorneys and the DEA, and some of them are frying those smaller fish," said Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). "There continues to be uncertainty. There are now many small businesses who are perfectly legal in these jurisdictions that are operating under a cloud. There have been lives that have been disrupted. This is not something that is theoretical."
Blumenauer especially hoped the message would get through to DEA chief Michele Leonhart, who has repeatedly made dubious statements about the dangers posed by marijuana and reportedly even said that the day a hemp flag flew over the U.S. Capitol was the worst day in her 33-year career at the DEA.
"The hemp flag flying over the Capitol was the lowest point in this person's career? Give. Me. A break!" Blumenauer said. "Maybe this will be a signal to the administration that they can't sort of tap dance around this, that they need to get their signals aligned and hopefully they're aligned with what the House did and where America is going."
A DEA spokeswoman referred a request for comment to the Justice Department, where a representative said the department was reviewing the medical marijuana amendment, as well as two pro-hemp amendments that also passed overnight.
Blumenauer said the vote should give Attorney General Eric Holder political cover to move ahead with initiating the rescheduling of marijuana next year. The federal government currently classifies it as a Schedule 1 drug with no legitimate medical purpose. Holder told HuffPost last month that while he would be willing to work with Congress to reschedule marijuana, the administration had made the political decision not to unilaterally do so, given all of the other executive actions it had taken on criminal justice reform.
"This is an integral part of why we need smarter sentencing reform, because we've had people trapped in this nightmare, and you've got non-violent people doing time for doing things that the majority of people in America now think should be legal," Blumenauer said Friday.
"That's why I said not this year, but as you move things forward, I think it's an easy way for them to unwind some of this and get out of the impossible situation," he said. "I hope Congress can do it, but it's not likely to happen this Congress, and it'll be a bit of a stretch next Congress, but it'll happen."

Come on Delaware!
You can DO it!
You can do it ALL night long!
http://news.yahoo.com/delaware-lawmakers-introduce-bill-decriminalize-marijuana-003032930.html
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic lawmakers in Delaware have introduced a bill that would decriminalize possession of a small amount of marijuana, following the lead of nearly 20 U.S. states that have moved to loosen laws surrounding non-medical use of the drug.
The bill, introduced on Thursday, would exempt from prosecution adults 21 and older who possess marijuana for their own personal use and consumption. Personal use was described as possession of 1 ounce or less.
The legislation would also reduce the fine for using marijuana in a public place to $100. Under current Delaware law, marijuana possession is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a maximum fine of $1,150.
The bill has the support of about 15 Democrats in the House and Senate, but no Republican sponsors. Republicans said they plan to oppose the bill as it heads for a vote before the close of the legislative session next month.
Supporters say decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana would lessen the burden on prisons and the justice system.
"So many people's entry into the criminal justice system involves possession or use of very small amounts of marijuana," state Senator Bryan Townsend told The News Journal newspaper.
"In my mind, marijuana is not in the same grouping as a lot of the drugs we need to be focusing our efforts on," he said.
Republicans took an opposing view.
Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson told The News Journal that he would vote against the bill, saying marijuana was a "pathway to greater drug use."
Both Townsend and Simpson could not be reached immediately for comment.
Democrats control both houses of the Delaware General Assembly by a nearly two-thirds majority over Republicans.
Currently, 17 states have passed laws to decriminalize marijuana use, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, a lobbying group.
Washington state and Colorado have legalized recreational use of marijuana.
Possession and use of marijuana continues to be a criminal offense on the federal level.
