Hi, friends! Is anyone still there? I'm in denial that I no longer have a vacation to look forward to, so pulling myself together to post a blog hasn't exactly happened. And now that I'm ready to share with you all the blissful 8 days I spent away from my children, I can't find the camera cord. So instead I'll give you a few highlights of my Western turned Eastern Carribbean Cruise on the FunShip Carnival Glory!
- Food, Glorious Food!
- Sleep, Glorious Sleep!
- Sun, Glorious Sun!
That pretty much sums it up, but here are a few more glorious moments...
- Riding on the back of a motor scooter as my husband tried to remember to drive on the LEFT side of the road in Nassau, Bahamas.
- My husbands brother, Matt pretending he's a race car driver in our rented jeep on the island of St. John (while winding through the mountains also on the left side of the road!) Aaaaahhhhh!
- Island smoothies.
- KARAOKE! Joe did an amazing chicken rendition of You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling by the Righteous Brothers.
- Performing in the last, final big funship show as Gloria Estefan. I looked like a homeless person in the big, black curly wig, but I got to sing Rhythm is Gonna Getcha in front of a few thousand people! My years growing up listening to my dad's favorite Latina singer, Gloria, paid off. Aaaaahhhhh!
- Learning that you should NEVER, under ANY circumstances go to the beach on the island of St. Maarten unless you want to see lots of wrinkly, fully nekkid bodies. F.U.L.L.Y. N.E.K.K.I.D. Not what I signed up for. I'm still trying to get the images out of my sheltered mind. But the beaches were beautiful!
- Running (fully clothed) with my (fully clothed) husband on said nude beach.
- On Deck For the Cure
- Joe winning the free-throw contest
- Our cruise director, Butch from Minnesota...ya!
- Getting dirty looks from the drink servers everytime we ordered ice water.
- Being more tan than all of my Utah friends...won't last long, but I love it while it lasts!
It was great. It was even greater coming home to my babies. Sort of. But I'm ready for another sleep-ful trip.
Pictures will be up soon, if anyone's still out there. What have YOU been up to?
