This trip started with my niece's graduation last year. At her party we were discussing our then upcoming cruise that we were taking her on as her present. My aunts (my Mother's two sisters, Arlene and Grace) chimed in that they wanted to go on a cruise with us. They said just tell them when and where and they would be there.
It was too late for that cruise but I kept it in my mind so when I had some time last fall I searched around and found several possible cruises. I started discussing them with my Mother, aunts and sisters and soon several of my cousins wanted to go as well. We finally settled upon a 7-day cruise on the Norwegian Spirit leaving from New Orleans at the end of February. As an added bonus that's Mardi Gras time!
It took a little coordinating and a long distance conference call but we finally all had our bookings done (cruise, flights and shore excursions). Our group consisted of me and two of my sisters (all in one room), my Mother and her two sisters (all in one room) and six of my female cousins (two per room). Now all we had to do was wait.
The last week in February came and we all made our way to New Orleans!
