---## WordPress friends, would you join me on a quick trip to Ensenada?

In just 163 days, some of my friends and I - all WordPressers - will be getting on a Carnival Cruise ship - headed to Ensenada for three days. It takes off on Thursday afternoon and arrives back on Sunday morning - just a day longer than many of the WordCamps I've been to.

Only, this is no WordCamp. There will be no sessions. Instead, it's all, 100%, complete hallway conversation time. You know, the kind where you get to hang out, ask questions, chat about life, business and your plugins.

## Are you ready for a WP Cruise?

While not for everyone, cruises can be an incredible value - because you get your room, unlimited amounts of food (way too much!), and tons of social time - all for a ridiculously low price. Even when I go to relatively local WordCamps, I end up spending a night or two in a hotel, and when I add the price of gas, I spend more than this cruise will cost you.

But it's not just about food, or even a low price. It's about hanging out - with a lot of amazingly fun WordPress people (and their spouses and kids, if they want).

## Our trip to Disneyland was awesome...

Last year we coordinated a little trip to Disneyland and it was fantastic. But it was just one day.

Now we're talking about taking the show on the road - into international waters and across the border.

## Let's Cruise!

I want you to join me. I really do. **This is an open invitation to all of you.**

Even if you're just getting started with WordPress. Even if you just want an excuse to tell the rest of your family or coworkers why you'll be gone all weekend.

~~In fact, I want you to join me so much, that **I'm going to give away a $350 Carnival Cruise gift card** to one of you.~~

The winner is Jason Tucker!
