Did you know we're VIPs? *Strikes dignified, very important pose* Apparently, one cruise with a particular cruise line is enough to qualify you for VIP status. Who knew?
So we got our special VIP member magazine the other day, which was chock-full of cruise itineraries we couldn't possibly afford unless we were each willing to sell a kidney toward the fund-raising effort, which immediately made me question the legitimacy of their VIP membership criteria. The one that had us drooling the most, and had each of us briefly pondering how much the other's kidney might bring on the black market, was a two-week Asian cruise from Singapore to Hong Kong, which takes in Bangkok and just about every coastal city in Viet Nam along the way. I think we just found our dream vacation.
The only thing that could make that cruise more awesome is if it also visited Japan. Probably more than any other Asian country, that's the one I'd like to visit, and no, not just for all the cheap pirated anime. The Daily Random has some gorgeous pictures from Japan that give a pretty good sampling of why I want to go there (and they're supposed to post some from China next week) (and by the way, you gamers out there might want to keep an eye on this blog). So, so pretty. If they'd added Japan to the schedule, I might be offering up my own kidney to sign up.
Of course, at this point I'd settle for a weekend party cruise around the Gulf of Mexico. I'd just need to sell some plasma (twenty times) to afford that.
