Carnival valentine mustang cruise set for 2008

I have been out of town for the past week on vacation and I am back to spread the good Ford Mustang word again.  I was in the middle of nowhere Missouri and the only internet connection where I was staying was dial up and it took me 15 minutes the first day to check my email so I swore off the internet until I got back to my good ole cable connection.

Since my last post there has been some news in the Mustang world including this little piece about a 7-day Cruise specifically for Ford Mustang lovers in February of 2008 on Carnivals Valor Cruise Ship.  I personally have never been on a cruise so not sure how they are, but a cruise to Alaska sounds like it would more fun then one in the sun.  I get enough sun here in Texas and I need a change.

The Mustang Valentine Day Cruise will feature a bunch of Mustang events aboard the ship including three seminars by noted Mustang publishers, enthusiasts and business owners along with various contests and prize giveaways.  Sounds like it would a cool cruise to go on especially if you are a big Mustang fan and enjoy talking Mustangs.  Read more about the cruise and what it will cost to get you on the boat after the jump.
