Cruising away

I leave today for my 2 week cruise departing out of Malaga, Spain. All the dieting was worth it, because now now I can gain 10 lb.s in the next fortnight. Fifteen Bars on board doesn't scare me either. I will have try each of them! I am especially looking forward to going to three of the Canary Islands. Mile high mountains on on one island, and a volcanic wasteland on another. They also make a lot of wine on the islands, which I will no doubt sample.
I have cruised transatlantic before and learned that it is the most relaxed you will ever be,  is when you cross the Atlantic for 7 days. You don't see any ships, land or anything for 7 days. At night, without all the light pollution, there are millions of visible stars.
