That is the most entertaining post ever! I felt like I was there, swimming though your vomit.
I love the self portraits too! The one with you both drinking from a straw has a certain Lady and the Tramp quality. Love it!
BTW-you owe me a dollar for the time I let you take a picture with me and my awesome hair.
awwwwwwww I love numbers. And I love cruises, thanks for reminding me.
Sounds like you guys had a great time!
8-times I ell-oh-elled at this post. You guys are cruising people now, btw. Cruising is your thing. I can see it.

Free trip to the Caribbean... priceless.
Posting a blog afterward using a numbers theme... brilliant.
5-the number of girls who have commented so far.
It looked like fun but I am glad you are back.
nice post but srsly running into Katie at the Wal-shiz was hecka funny.
Katie: Anon, right? (when I'm not even looking at her but I'm wearing my namebadge from work)
Me: :::makes OH SNAP face :::
Katie: It's me from online
Me: You mean from TCCF.
Katie: ::: looking super nervous and freaked out and like she was on some kind of secret mission :: Gigglepallooza
for realz gize you should have seen what she had in her cart. I dunno WHO she had for christmas but they must love... um... yeah...
Now THAT'S a great post. The perfect way to re-enter the blogging world. Looks like a fabulouso trip. Question: not sea sick on the ship---but sea sick while snorkling? Explain.
Glad you're back.
Question #2: Where' the fake ponytail?
What a hot little trip you had! It looked so fun and your room - wow!
It's a good thing math is my thing. I totally got that post. And just so you know, I am TOTALLY gonna go back to shopping at WalMart now!
AuntVisah: Q#1-- we had to go out to a smaller island on a little boat to go snorkling and the ride on the little boat got me going a little bit. Then the ocean was kinda rough so floating atop the waves with my face down and being tossed about like a piece of drift wood got me going even more. Then, I lifted my mask & took out my snorkel to get some fresh air (to settle my stomach) and I got a mouthful of salt water.... put me over the edge & I ralphed. I was super discreet about it though. I had to point it out to Gty & then he turned & swam away from me as fast as he could. We met up on the little boat later.
Q#2: I was way soooper sad when I realized I had forgotten my ponytail. I just stopped crying about it.
Memz, not growing it, not cutting it. It's quite annoying actually. Very blah.
AA, Katie was worried she scared you at the WalShizz. I assured her that was unpossible and then realized that maybe she was doing one of those things where she says you may have been scared but actually SHE was the one who was scared outta her mind. Then it made a lot more sense.
1,000,000 I am happy that you had a great time! Some day I might make it on a cruise. We were going to go on one in February of 2009 but then Australia ruined that plan hmmmmm! :)
1. I would do this cruise just to meet Hector.
2. Puking while your snorkeling and having other innocent fellow shipmate swim through it. THAT is Priceless.
3. It's physically impossible NOT to gain five ellbees on a cruise.
Look at my skinny bro with his hot wife!!
