Random Cruise Memory Part 1

Found this in my drafts and finally decided to finish it. Memories from NYE 2010 Cruise Pt 1. Dedicated to my PIC.

==================================================================

Things to do on a cruise ship - dodge EVERYBODY.

No vacation with Partner in Crime would be complete without us having to hide from people. What do we do to have to hide? You'd have to be there to tell me.

Cousin and I were both exhausted on Belize day. We overslept and ended up taking our time, getting off the ship late and just taking a city tour. Belize City tour - not that interesting. I advise going to the jungle. I also advise not missing your tour of the jungle by not waking up. It might be a good idea to sleep once in a while too. But I digress.

After getting back on the ship we were both starving and decided to go get food. One problem - food required going across the pool deck...the pool deck with people...people we were not trying to see at this moment.

We can handle this though - sunglasses, head down, walk fast. Never mind people almost falling over railings to say hi. We did not see them. Did you? Sunglasses, head down, walk fast. And clear.

Or...not so clear. We have food. But we can't pull the same trick twice. This calls for a covert operation. One floor down, walk across. Perfect. Almost perfect. Almost to our room. Me: 'PIC, I can't believe this, we are safe!' . PIC: 'Not so fast, we are not safe until we are in our room!'. Me: 'Don't be...' .

Queue the comedian. On our floor. Walking past our room. Right. This. Second. Darn, he is turning around...and....queue a conversation we do not want to have. Comedian: 'So did you catch my show?'. Yes we did. And we know we made the show thank you very much. We are happy we are so fascinating. We'll send you the bill. You're on the wrong floor? You normally stay one floor up? Right, honest mistake, goodbye.

Run into room. Lock the door. Queue laughing fit. Only with my PIC.

Happy 2010 everyone!

It's been a while. Even though it seems like I am stuck somewhere on a mountain in Lebanon, I'm really not...sadly. I meant to write a full fledged report on Lebanon, but I got to the view on the mountain and then life happened. So here I am in Indianapolis, 7 months later, living, working, and still spending all my money traveling. My scrapbook and my blog missed the bus and are behind on my adventures, but they're trying to catch up. It's the latest 2010 NY resolution I just made up....

I've gone on some more adventures since moving here - Chicago, Minnesota, Ann Arbor, Holland and most recently a Western Caribbean cruise with my partner in crime. I try to settle down sometimes, but I just can't seem to sit still. Result: I still feel like I moved to Indy only yesterday. My cost benefit analysis says that's okay.

I'd love to keep writing, but the sun went to sleep many hours ago and I think I should join it. I'm trying to train my body to be in the Eastern time zone. I'm not really sure what time zone it thinks it is in. New Year's resolution #2 - Sleep.

I'm motivated to write about cruise adventures, so hopefully you'll hear from me again soon.

Signing out,
