Cruise Blog #3 and #4 (5/17/10-5/18/10)

So, I decided to combine these 2 blogs because my 3rd cruise blog reads like this:

"I'm writing drunk.

And today was cool.

Tomorrow I'll tell you what's up!"

Except, the next day, I can't remember what we did.

Cruise Blog #4

The last few days have been CRAZY. I planned on writing every night, but it's just been impractical. Mostly because I may have had a few to drink. :)

I just came back from The Love and Marriage Game Show. The audience had a hand in picking 3 couples: honeymooners, 25+ years, and 50+. I'll give you a taste of this madness by saying that the 25+ couple was chosen because he humped his wife while doing a Tarzan impression. And neither of them had any qualms describing how they had their wildest sex inside a water bed FRAME laid out on top of plastic on their bathroom floor...covered in oil. May I also add that this man looked like a clean shaven Santa Claus and definitely allows for a disturbing visual. They, of course, ended up winning.

We also went to a murder mystery dinner tonight-my first one-and it was really entertaining! For $50 it came with a 4 course meal-including the best- I mean THE BEST Filet Mignon I've ever had in my life and unlimited alcohol (which, on a cruise is awesome, and it also means that I will be hungover tomorrow). I'm burned beyond belief right now and will definitely have to stay inside the Solarium tomorrow. I would normally hate that because I LOVE the sun, but, since my ass and face look like the color inspiration for Elmo, I'll pass.

We went to Aruba today and Curacao yesterday. Both are beautiful. The surrounding area of Aruba is definitely more "Americanized" which I realize can be a good and bad thing. It's good because I felt more at home and comfortable...and it's bad for the same reason. I would love to be more adventurous and say that I would have no problems traveling by myself-but then I had a conversation with the Taxi driver in Aruba about Natalie Holloway. That changed my mind. I'm no Samantha Brown-and even she has a crew with her. I give props to any solo traveler. It seems more lonely than exciting. Plus, I know that I would be less courageous on my own. Surround me with good people though, and I'll pretty much try anything.

I've managed to finally find my sea legs. It's something to get used to-especially with the 7 foot waves that we have tonight. But I'm happy that I can say I've done this now. At this point in my life, my perspective is always shifting. And although I may not have all the answers I'm looking for yet, at least I'm out here trying to find them...
