It worked!

CRUISE 2010

We didn't think it would actually happen, but it did. We almost missed the boat because we were looking for our cruise in a navy yard in a different town. It was a miracle we even boarded. Once they let us on it was smooth sailing, well... not literally smooth. It was so rocky the second day that we couldn't get off to the shore excursion. We adapted to the rocking and got ourselves some sea legs. In fact, we are having trouble getting rid of them. Juje has been tippin all over the place today. We all look like a bunch of drunks on land.

Gnomes like cruise life. Our days on board consisted of eating 4 and 5 course meals, 3 meals a day. Laying out any spare minute we had. Reading books by the pool. Getting rocked to sleep all the time.

We made some fake friends. They really are fake. We don't even know them, or like them really.

Meandering in Catalina.

Me being the only adult on the water slide. The adults followed my trend the next day realizing it was socially acceptable.

Our wicked bike gang.

We have fun together.... pretty much all the time.

Our waiter Roy on the right took such good care of us. He was such a good dad. And Ariel on the right always made sure we were hitting up all the skanky shows at night. They were great.

We had two hours to shop this street and it was crazy. I made the mistake of telling one of the vendors my name and he yelled it out the door as I walked out and then every other vendor on the street heard it and started yelling my name . It was overwhelming and yet so much fun. I had the best fish tacos of my life here and got to see two baby lion cubs. Too bad you have to pay 25 bucks to hold them, I'm way too cheap for that.

La Bufadora a.k.a.- The blow hole.

Things we learned from CRUISE:

-Always be prepared to sink at any time. My favorite line from Hayley, "I'm convinced we are still gonna sink. I want to tell every person I pass, 'see ya at the sinkage'".

-We are not adults. After ten p.m. everything turns into "adults only". We are all over 21 but listening to "adults" sing karaoke drunk is not entertaining or pleasant. Neither is adult comedy shows or ventriloquists.

-People in Tahiti speak french.

-How great it is to be able to order 3 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 desserts and not have a bill at the end.

-People who drink a lot are suckers. Yeah, we saw what their bills looked like. We actually made money on the cruise. We made ten bucks riding bikes in Catalina- yes, we're that good!

See ya next year cruise!
