Going on a week-long hiatus while I go on a week-long cruise

This may come as a surprise, but I'm leaving for a week. The surprise may be that you missed my previous mention of this trip, or that I'm making any sort of hiatus announcement at all—usually I just disappear without warning.

For the next seven days I shall be on a freakishly large boat some miles off the nearest coast. We will not have internet access, because they overcharge about as much as you'd expect. I may not catch up on my flist when I get back; if that matters to you, feel free to leave important comments here or shoot me an email. I'll be back when I'm back—y'all take care 'til then.

We're not ready yet, and only have, well, just a few more hours before it's out of our hands and onto the plane, as it were. I am finally phasing from "lala I can't hear you" to "oh fuck, I have stuff to do," which is about time even if it's no fun. The cruise will be. Hopefully it will also be good. Crossed fingers from friends are welcome.
