The woodpeckers were pecking holes on our wood siding and hubbie was threatening to shoot them.

My hubby and I did one last year around the end of May and it was beautiful weather, we did a 7 day cruise and stopped in 4 different ports. I wish we had spent more time in just a couple though. We loved it and the price was right! GO for it!
