Well, we leave tomorrow!
We'll be at Haulover Beach in Bal Harbor until Monday if any of you Miami area peeps want to come join us. And yes, this is a clothing optional beach so don't come if you have a problem with potentially seeing things that can't be unseen.
Sail out of Port Lauderdale Tuesday and in to Key West on Friday afternoon. Stay until early Sunday then sail back via Grand Turk arriving Wednesday.
I've got my airbrushes and paints all packed. Bought a new mini tankless compressor because I was worried Carnival wouldn't let me bring my regular compressor w/tank on board (per some mentions in their luggage FAQ). Bought a bunch of new airbrush makeup colors to use instead of the acrylics I've always used before. Also got a nice selection of waterproof temporary tattoo paints.
Packing very light when it comes to clothes. One might say 'duh' to that since it's a naked cruise, but the fact is most people pack just as much as they would for a textile cruise. Not me, not this time.
If you want to see some of my practice paintings for this trip, go here. Note, this is
NOT SAFE FOR WORK. The models are my wife and friends and neighbors so be nice so I don't have to kill ya.

There are a couple other designs I've got planned for her this year that I've done before so aren't featured in the practice album. There will be pics when we get back that I will share.
Anyway, the adventure is about to begin. My NSX is all washed and locked away in the garage. Her SLK is washed and waiting for us in the driveway to take us to the other coast tomorrow. Might post here and there along the way but mostly will see y'all in 2 weeks!
edit to add: Here is my whole 10 year history of body painting and taking pictures of others' body paintings. The albums should be pretty self-explanitory.
Again probably -
NOT SAFE FOR WORK
