old people are great. not only are they entertaining to be around [you never know what they'll say next] they are also good for your self-esteem. they were always telling me how nice i looked at dinner and how much fun i am. plus they laughed at all my jokes. i've never felt better about myself. the only drawback is the fact that 99% of all conversations end up on the topic of medication. but hey...nothings perfect. we had a wonderful time. ate a ton, went on some adventures and laughed a lot. here's a quick rundown of the highlights:
day one:
- i imposed a "mandatory" tour of the entire ship for my mom, bonnie, gary and myself [which i know jenn is proud of]
- discovered the best dessert of the week: fruit crisp. i know it sounds simple, but it was stinkin' amazing. we ate it every day.
- began our nightly card playing ritual
day two: @ sea
- relaxed in the sun
- met my favorite towel animal of the week...elmer
day three: grand turk
- went kayaking and 'hiking'...and even brought my mom along
- starred in a cruise ship tv show [slight exaggeration: i just kept walking back and forth behind the cruise director as he filmed the daily bulletin for the next day, but i was on tv all day long!]
day four: san juan
- flew through the rain forest on a zip line
- visited the bar that invented the pina colada
day five: st. thomas
- underwater sea helmet trek...definitely the most unique adventure of the trip
day six: @ sea
- played cards by the pool
- dressed up for formal night
- found out i won the oscar ballot contest...and i had a gift bag of goodies and a bottle of champagne waiting for me in our room
day seven: half moon cay
- read in a hammock on the beach and floated in the ocean
- went jet skiing with gary
- ate the final fruit crisp of the week...sadly
- found a five dollar casino chip. put it on red. doubled the money.
