A Picture Is Worth A Long, Convoluted Story That I Don't Really Feel Like Telling

So I went on this cruise.


Ok, I knew Emily was there, "butt" I had no idea about this photo. Sneaky, Lisa.


One day we went snorkeling.


I look like this ALL the time.

I took this picture, and almost took the fish too, but they said not to disturb the creatures, something about an "ecosystem" or whatever, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.


Another day, at the fancy onboard restaurant, I ate escargots. For those of you who don't "hablo espanol," escargots is Spanish for THE NINO. I mean, snails.


Aye aye, Captain Me. Worry not: I steered us in the right direction.

Another time, we went to the beach. White sand, clear warm water... delish. The cruise line actually owns this private island in the Bahamas, called Cococay. Ok, so maybe it was artificial, but so is Tang and we still love that!

This is me and a coconut tree. Rhyme!!


Here's me and Lisa. Then there was this time I bought us all virgin strawberry daiquiris, and the waitress couldn't stop being amazed that we didn't drink alcohol. And then we won 2nd place in the "Name that Tune" contest, and everyone couldn't stop being amazed.


In a word, the sunsets on the boat were truly spectacularly colorful Caribbean sunsets. Oops, that was four words.

When I got home I had sea legs for about three days...but I'm still glad I went! Snark aside, it was truly unforgettable.
