P-P-P-POW!!!
Hey I'm back from my trip to the western carribean! Yep, my mom, my bro and I went on a 7-day cruise through Mexico, Belize, and Grand Cayman.
Saturday we just got there, and we had a hell of a time making it. Our original flight plans got fucked up when they overbooked the plane, so instead of flying directly to Texas, we had to go to D.C. and then Houston and we made it within half an hour of departure to the cruise.  Yeah, lots of fun. Slept in after that.
Sunday was just a day at sea, didn't do much but chill and ate dinner at the steakhouse on board, which has the BEST steak ever. 
We went to Belize City, Belize on Monday where we went traversing & rapeling through the canopy! For those of you wno don't know what that is, traversing is where they hook you up to two ropes heading straight across and you glide from one side to another, and rapelling is pretty much a straight drop... at least it was for me. I was first in line so the decided to let me free fall 100 feet of the 125 feet to the ground, and I'm not good with heights  . Meh... it was fun.
In Costa Maya, Mexico on Tuesday we went snorkeling along the coral reef on a catamaran (those things from Water World with the nets on the sides). It was awesome to see all the different coral and fish along the floor. The part of the reef I thought was the best was a slope with nothing but sea fans just flowing with the current. It was a beautiful sight, especially with the fish swimming among them. That night we also went to see a comedian, Sarge. The dude was hilarious, but a little random even for my taste. 
Wednesday was spent in George Town, Grand Cayman. We got to go on a catamaran for this as well, because we had to sail out to a sandbar to pet stingrays! The ywere EVERYWHERE!  The first time I went walking through I tripped over two of them and flew into the water. Yeah, I'm cool.  Anywho, we got to hold them and pet them and feed them with squid (and they'd chase you around for it if you didn't wash off the smell right away), and we even got to kiss them  . Hehe, they were very friendly.
Thursday was in Cozumel, Mexico, where we went to this Eco-park. It wasn't bad, we went swimming on this river through the caves, and got to see jaguars, pumas, the ancient Mayan ball game (I can't remember the name of it; watch El Dorado), a bunch of birds, and this ancient chapel with a grave sight beside it. That was powerful, especially with the enormous cross at the top of the hill and the Mother Mary statue in the pool of water in front of it.
We also went to see another comedian that night Rollin' Rob or something. Not as good as Sarge, but still pretty funny. There was also a hypnotist on stage after him. It was cool to see the people he actually had hypnotized up there performing as Elvis, William Hung, a skit on Jerry Springer, and some other stuff. But there was one kid who wasn't under hyponsis that stayed up there and kinda ruined it a little, going over-the-top and all that.
That night I also spent it watching CNN because of the Pope and his poor health. I prayed for his safe and easy passage into God's arms and I hope you did the same (if not, God won't hate you, just stop being such a prick )
Friday was another day at sea, where I jsut chilled again, and we went back to the steakhouse .
Saturday was the ride back home, which went better than on the way there, but still kind of boring. The Pope also passed then, so it was kind of a bitter sweet day, returning home but on the Pope's passing day. Johnny Cochran abd Terri Schiavo also passed on last week, so pray for the mand their families.
Well, that's about all the major stuff that happened. Ashlee's here so I need to stop typing and chill with her. PEACE OUT! |
