OK, here we go again...
Thursday, 7-21:
Had to take my dogs to the vet with my mom... she got home at about 1 or 2 pm... we took Lady first... she was as psyco as ever... she cried to get out of the car and go in, then cried to get out of the vet's and back in the car... Then, we took Coachie, poor baby started to shake...
Took my mom's car to get washed... almost got into an accident because this... woman seemed to think she had the right-of-way, even though she was making a left and we were going straight...
Went home... my dad got home at about 4, and we were on the road by five... we hit every... single... rainstorm on the way down! Honestly, we got stuck in teaming rain at least 5 times... then, once in GA, when it was dark, there was a really cool lightning storm off to the south-west oO It was there almost all the way through, and into FL...
A car hydroplained right in front of us, and we almost got into another accident... I was like "O...Kie... This doesn't seem like a good sign to me..." This was in SC...
When I got into FL, I thought of you, Tsuki ^_^ But it was like... 1 am @@ We finally stopped at St. Augustine, at 1:30... sleepy bye ^_^
Friday, 7-22:
We got up and went shopping at the outlet stores... I got a new pair of shoes! surprised Lyk, wow! stare Actually, they're nice shoes ^_^
Then, we drove to my cousin's house in Boynton(sp?) Beach ^_^ It was nice, not much interesting happened... heard about the family, stuff going on and the like... watched the news...fun... got a bug in me to start writing... and a new obsession with pirates oO Anyway, writing a pirate story, and I like it so far ^_^
Saturday, 7-23:
Left my cousin's house at about 1-ish, and got to the boat about... 2, 2:30-ish... Security was pretty weak, in my opinion... The window on the driver's side of the car broke, and wouldn't go down rofl
Got on the boat, had lunch... Mmm... turkey *drools* Looked around the boat, got some drinks...
The life boat drill was the funnest and funniest drill I've ever been to in my life! rofl First of all, it was in a bar... and that joke requires some explanation...:
See, my dad's a paramedic, and his boss was interviewed one day about a man who'd gotten drunk and parked his car on the rail road tracks... and he was asked: "What are the benefits of being drunk when you're hit by a train?" rofl
Anyway! So my mom says to my dad, "Just like getting hit by a train, huh?" Plus, the guy behing us kept making sarcastic comments... it was great... The best, though, was when the guy said what to do if someone went overboard. My mom cracked up. although once we went on our veranda, we thought there was a good possibility that someone might go over o_O;
Then, it was dinner! We had anytime seating, which was fun ^_^ We had dinner with a couple from NY and two ladies from CA... nice enough, I guess -_-
Went to the teen center after dinner... it was... loud. Met one girl, Alex... didn't really see her again, actually... anyway... we subconsciously raced this guy up the stairs... The shoes I was wearing ended up rubbing against the side of my foot, and giving me a sort of burn cut thing... Ow... but I was fine
There was this one guy I wish I would have talked to... he seemed really cool... He had a shirt that said "hukd awn fonicks wurcked fore mi" or something like that... Hee seemed cool.... Ah, well... too late now ^_^; Also ran into this drunk dude... oO;; Not just me, but a couple other girls too... he was looking for the disco...
Sunday, 7-24:
First day at sea... I love at sea days ^_^ Watched some movies, went to the teen thing again... boring, this time... Air hockey is a dangerous sport ninja The puck kept going over the side and hitting people/objects... It did on Sat, too ^^;
Anyway, we ate with a couple from England, and a couple from Scotland... they were so much fun! It was really good, too! Um... went to the show... a comedian juggler... he was really good, too!
Back in the room, me and my mom wanted to see The Aviator... we stayed up till three-freakin-am watching it! Leo plays crazy good ^_^
Sang Happy birthday to Ryan... at least 3 seperate times biggrin
Monday, 7-25:
The second at sea day... *sigh* Perfect ^_^
We watched National Treasure in the theater... it was good... unbelievable, but good...
It was the first formal night... I got dressed up, which is fun to do on occassion... we got our pictures taken, at the Titanic Staircase backround... they came out really nice too ^_^ I wish I had a working scanner, I'd put my pic up 3nodding
We ate alone Then, had a drink and went to bed!
Tuesday, 7-26:
We got to St. Thomas! I adore St. Thomas... we went shopping, and I made out like a bandit cool I thought of my Gaian friends in the stores... wish I could've got you stuff gonk Anyway, here's what we all got:
My dad: Cologne... how... interesting... neutral
My mom: a necklace... real pretty, diamonds and gold...
Me with my parents money: A pair of black pearl earings, a pair of dangle Rainbow (Caribbean?) Topaz earings, a pair of cheap post Topaz earings, and a wolf crystal-thing ^_^
Me with my money: A bracelette, a pair of earings, and a Pirate teddy bear ^_^
Other people: My friends- A coconut bra for Emily, a flip-flop necklace for Jefer, a turtle thing for Tara, ans a teddybear for Jefer's mom. Others- My dad's boss' wife got a Topaz necklace, and my mom's friend got a bottle of liquor.
Went back to the boat, I had wanted to see Finding Neverland, but I missed half of it Ah, well... I can rent it ^_^ We had lunch, relaxed in the cabin...
At dinner, we ate with two families from Florida... yawn...
Wednesday, 7-27:
At St. Maartin, me and my dad went snorkeling at Shipwreck Cove... fun enough, but it made me realize how much I dislike people in general... What was it I read somewhere? 98% of people should have been aborted... If this one kid kicked me one more time, I was gonna take my fin and beat him! Anyway, got back, had lunch... Then, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean, which only worsened my pirate obsession. And my love for Johnny Depp ninja He. Is. The. Best. Actor.
Went to dinner. Ate alone. My dad left after dinner because his hip down to his knee was killing him...
Me and my mom went to the crew show ^_^ THere were some remarkable talents on the ship! surprised
Actually, that day, the boat had shut off the electricity for 'technical reasons' oO; Weird...
Thursday, 7-28:
Another at sea day ^_^ We watched movies, usual stuff... The Captain came on the announcements and said because of 'technical diffilculties,' we could not make the speed we needed to get to the last port o_O;;; And we were in the Bermuda Triangle o_O;;;;;;; But Princess gave us a $100 on our cards... which was really nice, and really classy 3nodding The poor Captain, he sounded so stressed...
Anyway, another formal night... we got more pictures, but I didn't like them xp We ate alone... again... xp Then, to bed!
Freakily, that night, still in the Triangle, I believe, we had a huge thunder storm o_O;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Friday, 7-29:
An at sea day... we spent some money, I got a teddy bear and my dad got a pen-holder-paper-weight-thing... Packed a little before dinner, went to dinner, and sat with a couple from Florida... They were... in-ter-es-ting.... Glad we didn't eat with them every night...
Finished packing and everything else by mignight, and went to bed ^_^
Saturday, 7-30:
We got off the boat around 11 am... Ugh, not fun waiting for them to call our ticket color... 'Cream 5...' Customs was annoying and slow, but not overly horrible... we got our bags and the baggage guy took them all the way to our car! So nice ^_^ Along the way, he got stopped by this young lady who said: "Please, I desperately need your help... I'm late for a wedding, and I'm the bride!" I felt for her! heart
Started to drive home, stopped about... 1 or 2 for lunch... Got stuck in a bunch of little storms, and one big traffic problem where they took a three lane highway and merged it into one oO;;
Drove, drove, drove... blah, blah, blah... Stopped for dinner about 9-ish... My dad needed to stop... We pulled into the parking lot, and there was a couple with their kids who were having car trouble and who were taking up 2 spots... He took a fit, but eventually called 911 o come and help them... and it worked too! ^_^
We finally got home about... 1 am... and I got on Gaia for an hour ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few other things: The English lady we ate with got a big infection on her foot! eek She said a bug bite had gotten infected, and she got cellulite(?)!!!
We don't have my doggies yet They come home tomorrow...
I missed Gaia so much! *hugs friends* I'm so glad to be back! ^o^ I think you should all join me next year... seriously! Bug your parents! It's be fun! ^o^
I strongly recomend Princess cruise lines, although I like Holland America more... Princess has become my 2nd favorite line ^_~
Sorry if it seemed... not really complete, but I had a nice one typed out and I deleted it *hits head* STUPID ME! scream sweatdrop xp
Added: What is it with the people who want to revive me for dying, then kill me again? oO;; That's two entried ago, when I announced I was leaving... *sniffles* I can't believe you guys would kill me! gonk wink
