(Backup) June 15th, Sea day

Sea Day 
  
 Bam! Bam! What was that? I woke up and checked my phone: 2pm. Edie and I had been up till 3am the night before and woke up super late because we knew since we would be sailing all day we wouldn't have to wake up early. I thought I heard something at the door but wasn't certain. I ran to the bathroom and Edie got up and shuffled to the door and there they were. All four of them; Jake, Alexa, Patty, and Cat Kat. Edie and I rubbed our eyes while the four of them all spoke excitedly at once. We told them we'd be out in ten and rushed to the closet to throw on some clothes. I slipped on my yellow bikini followed by a blue dress and headed up to the deck to meet the others. We all had lunch at the buffet set up by the pool then grabbed some chairs by the pool. We all stripped down to our bathing suits and went tot he bar to order some virgin drinks. We sat out for awhile, exchanging contact info and laughing at random things then decided to all head up to the top deck to take some Instagram worthy pictures. All the girls posed in a model like fashion as we forced Jake to take our pictures for at least ten minutes. Jake is a goofy guy and is one of my favorite people on the boat. He's super easy to make laugh and- manipulate. He will do just about anything we ask him to and just goes with the flow which is what makes him so fun. We walked back down and regardless of the hot weather decided to go sit in the hot tub. Soon enough it was 6 o'clock, time for Edie and I's massages. YES another massage. We made our way into the spa and slipped into a bath robe. Our lady's led us into the room and you know what happens next. This time I tried to actually relaxed but still, barely had time to enjoy the massage. After the message Edie and I showered and headed down to dinner where we had reservations at a steakhouse. I ordered lobster and steak for the first time and my god it was amazing. I felt like a god. I spent the rest of the night relaxing, playing the cards, and running around the boat with my buds. The whole day was a haze of relaxation and zero thought what so ever, which is what a sea day is supposed to be. It was perfect.

June 17, USA!

USA!    I hope you don't mind my absence of posts, I started making real memories which are expensive and don't take checks, only time. If you aren't a fan of riddles, I just haven't had time. Not only did I lack in time, but there are simply some memories I've made that are just better told in person, and some that just aren't meant for everyone to see. So I could tell you the details of my breakfast and the way the Eiffel Tower looks, or I could tell you what I learned. If you would rather choice number 1, I'm sure Yelp has you covered. Check it out.   This trip was an absolute dream; I traveled from France to Italy to Rome and back to France. Ive been terrified staring into black water alone on a floating death trap and Ive laughed so hard in the card room I couldn't breathe. I've walked high end shopping streets and taken wrong turns down alleyways. Ive had pigeon and wine in a five star restaurant and had lamb hotdogs on the river at midnight. I...

June 13th, ROMEing Around

ROMEing Around       I'll skip the details of my morning routine and jump right into the good stuff because I'm sure your tired of reading about me choosing iced coffee over a cappuccino, and if you're not tired of reading it then I'm sure tired of writing it.     To start our excursion for the day we got on a bus to take a tour of Rome. My aunt, Edie, and I hopped on the bus and sat in our cushioned seats each taking a seat for ourselves so we could rest a bit. I had woken up early that morning and gone to bed very late the night before and my body was rubbing my poor choices in my face. I could barely keep my eyes open, yet I couldn't sleep because the whole hour and a half bus tour our guide was talking and talking. She had some informative information that was interesting but she just had such an annoying voice I was about to rip my hair out of my scull one strand at a time. I don't have a problem with accents, I actually find them especially pleas...

June 11th, Launch Day

Image
Launch day    I lifted the covers, slipped on some clothes, zipped up my suit case, and headed out the door for breakfast. Edie and I began to scan the continental breakfast that consisted of fruit, bread, pastries, and breakfast meats and picked up a few things before sitting down at the table to meet my Aunt. We ate quickly and in no time were headed out the door of our pretty baby pink hotel into our taxi on the way to the dock.  Today is launch day, the day we either get on a cruise ship for the experince of our life, or board a box of puke and stomachs aches for the next 7 days. We were expecting the ship to be medium sized and claustrophobic but were surprised when we drove up to a monster of a ship.    This ship looked straight out of Suite Life On Deck meets Titanic. We walked up the stairs of the oversized canoe and were greeted with champagne and punch ( there's a drinking age on the boat grrr) and walked through the entrance. Similar to the Titanic, t...
