This is fantastic! An armoire of three: one for long dresses, one for skirts and tops, one full of shelves and a set of drawers! All my clothes have a home, yay!&amp;nbsp; Ok, you may think this is over enthusiastic, but that is more closet space than my apartment! Times two! And, there is a great vanity for getting ready. I am in heaven…Did I mention the bath robes, absolutely delish. They should patent this design, I so need this for my tiny, cluttered apartment!! Extraordinary!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH:304px;HEIGHT:372px;" height="372" src="http://www.carnivalconnections.com/blogs/splendid_things_in_life/LaurenSpirit%20Trip%20061.jpg" width="304" align="left" border="2" alt="" /&gt;Ok, sorry for the digression, I get a little overenthusiastic when it comes to clothes and organization…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a mini family reunion in the parking lot – all coming from different airports, cars, trains, and the like.&amp;nbsp; We dropped our luggage with a porter and headed to the somewhat daunting line of passengers. How 2,300 something people were getting through that door is a miracle to me. But, we took a deep breath and forged forward. It was a surprisingly quick process given all the people – the FUN began as we took a family picture and boarded the beautifully warm and so elegantly decorated Carnival Spirit. It was Christmas time and I was going to be spending it with my family! I could not imagine a better gift. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri" size="3"&gt;Forget the mad holiday rush at the stores, forget cooking and cleaning, forget hastening stops from one party to the next – From here on out, not a worry in the world. It was time to relax, and enjoy each other’s company. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
