Since I live in BFE, getting KKs on a Saturday is too much like work (as wonderful as they are when they are warm). I have to settle for Dolly Madison Powder Donettes and Hostess Ding Dongs (readily available at the feed store cum gas station cum stop-and-rob cum grocery store about a mile and a half away) - a cross I willingly bear to live where I do.

If I didn't have sugar and caffeine, I am quite sure I would simply melt into a puddle like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Rhetorical questions: Will there be coffee available 24/7 on the ship? Or will I have to smuggle my trusty, unbreakable 4-cup travel coffee maker deep within my grip, carefully wrapped in my socks and underpants like the most precious of jewels? Will I ever sleep again after I acquire several pounds of genuine Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee from its native land while on this cruise, then tap a vein with an IV needle to ingest it on the trip back? These and other questions will be answered at about 4 PM on 31 May, aboard the good ship Carnival Triumph.

Not to worry, my caffeinated friend. Beverages and food are NEVER hard to find on a cruise!!!

Rest easy! Our travel agent sez your little coffee-maker shouldn't be a problem. It's not shaped like a you-know-what, is it? LOL!
