A vaction can be many things. For me it was a time to just get away from work and my town. I did that but not much else. We left Early Last thursday morning for Galveston. I drive the first twenty minutes and slept the rest of the way. We got there way early so I went and found a Starbucks. I got a frozen hot chocolate and went walking looking for an ATM to get cash to park. I found a Bank of America instead, it is a lot cheaper because my bank and the ATM both charge me fees. We went and dropped off our big luggage and then parked the car. We by the way is me and my wonderful father who funded this trip. We went to one line after another to board. When we had to go over from the terminal to the ship it was like WAY high up and you could see down. I really hated that. Finally we got on. We found our room and it was small but nice though. They had four different kinds of toothpastes, razors for man and woman, lotion that was for regular with a little self tanning (that is dangerous lol) and always clean towels. They made the towels each night into a different animal. It was so cute to walk in after dinner and see that.
We both took a nap. My dad was exhausted from driving and I was exhausted from telling him what to do. We got changed for dinner in the nice Wind Song dinning room. No tank tops or shorts! But I wore my flip flops. We were seated and I got to have the best looking waiter in the place. We had filet mingon for dinner. I cannot remember what else but that was so good. We went to bed very early that night.
Friday was pretty boring in a way. I wondered the ship alone looking for things and seeing what was going on. We up all the way to the top, got a little scared and went back down. The best thing about the trip was always at night when the ship rocked you to sleep.
Also most everyday I forgot to take my allergy pill but never did have a problem until Monday morning when I woke up and we were docked back in Texas.
Friday night was the captian's dinner (BTW we didn't see the captian til Sunday LOL). We both dressed up. My dad said I looked nice, I said BLAHHH, I had to wear pantyhose. I hate pantyhose.Very good dinner again.
Satuday night we were in Cozumel. We ate lunch in the main dinning hall and it was very good. We went out and went shopping. I only bought a few things nothing really caught my eye. We dropped the stuff off on the ship and went and got on a boat that drove us out (I was nauseous the whole time) to a submaire (nauseous again). We went 100+ ft below sea level. We saw the bottom of the sea and the 3,000 ft drop! It was cool but I was almost miserable. We got some good pics mosly. Saw a shark but it ran before we could take it's pic. I don't blame it, I hate getting my picture taken. When we were riding back it began raining!!! When got soaked on the way to the ship. We rested then got ready for dinner. This night we got a bottle of wine. It was okay but not great. We went to see a comedy show that night and went to bed late.
Sunday morning (Lastday!) I got up right before lunch and was grouchy. We went to lunch and then I shopped again. My dad a meeting that evening so I went up to the top again and took some pics. Very windy but beautiful! We rested then went to our last supper. I was sad that it was the last night. The wine we finished was better that night than before. I got my pic with my handsome Serbian waiter. We went to the X-treme Country show and then to a Midnight R rated comedy show. Had a ball but didn't get to sleep til 2. 5:30am came way to early.
Monday morning was a mess. EVERYONE it seemed wanted off on the early time. It took forever to get off the ship. We were releaved after customs cleared us and we went to our car.
I'm sure there is much more I can say but right now this is what I got!!
See ya
