thursday - left for the port of miami @ 1130am. we couldnt actually board til 130pm. but we didnt get to miami til like 1 anyways. haa we couldnt find the port! it was funny. we were driving around all of miami looking for the dumb port. but finally we asked this lady and she told us where to go, but we just ended up going in circles! but we eventually found it. but we had to turn our luggage in, wait for like EVER to finally get into the parking garage, pay and then finally park. and there was the prickkk that like cut every1 in line? stupid girl dog. yeah so we were gonna take maria's lipstick and write ass hole on their car windshield but we couldnt find the car. oh well. yeah so we finally check in, blah blah go through security and get up to the walkway to get onto the boat and we take a quick pic with our lampshades on! haa yess. so we get on the boat and there was this kid in line to get on the boat n front of us. he was sorta cute but too short. like every1 in the world. but yeah it was so wierd what happens with this kid. but ill get into that later! so we finally get on the boat and this thing is HUGE. seriously. there were like 10 floors, the decorations were veRY busy. so many things to do on this boat. boy oh boy. so yeah then we book our excursion for mexico. we did the eco jeep ride & snorkeling one. where basically we ride n a jeep through mexico and then snorkel. so we book that, and go find our room. we find out that its on the main floor, which is good. easy access to basically everything. so we get get into the room and it has 2 twin beds, and a pull down bunk bed. so 3 beds. and im thinking well where the hell am i supposed to sleep, in the damn bathroom? or maybe the hallway. yeah so we talk to our room dude and he says i get a roll away bed? it was actually pretty comfortable. i liked it. it fit my style. so then chilled n the room for a little while, then went and explored got food on the lido deck! which is basically the party deck, pool drinks all that happy crappy. so came back to the room and our dinner was scheduled for 545pm at table 272! so we chilled for a while longer, then got ready for dinner. so we had the hardest time finding the dining room, we looked forever. but finally we find it. we walk n and go to our table and that dude was there, the kid that was n front of us n the line when we got on! haaa it was soo wierd. so we get there and me nd liz are extremely creeped out. and his name was gary and his brother troy. and then their parents! they were super nice! so gary was like 14 and troy was like 16. very nice kids. they were basically our friends the whole time on the boat. very fun.
sooo then after dinner we go back to the room and get changed nd stuff then maria nd my mom go their way and me and liz go ours. explored a little bit. didnt do much bc we didnt know anyone, except for our dinner partners! but we didnt kno where they were. so then we go back to the room and go to bed, and sleep. fun day!
friday - wake up in key west! very exciting. so we get ready and get off the boat. i guess the port of key west is on an old navy base! so then we take a trolley thing to the main part of the island. very nice, reminded me alot of saint augustine. went shopping everywhere! then stopped at alot of the bars. video taped alot! but yeah stopped at the bars one was sloppy joes and the other was captain tony's! n captain tony's there were bra's and business cars nd liscense plates ALL over the walls. and at sloppy joes we were gonna sit nd get a drink bc it was SO hot. no joke. but theres so super many ppl there so we just leave bc we were getting absolutely no service. but w/e. so then we shop shop shop some more. so we were n key west til 2pm i believe. but me nd my mom left earlier than maria nd liz bc they had to go pick up a shirt. so then we get back on the boat and go eat! then liz nd maria found us and ate with us. so i go back to the room and put on my bathing suit, nd we tanned! holy cow im sOo tan. i love it. so tanned for a while, then went back to the room, showered and got ready for dinner! on friday it was the captains dinner, which was fancy fancy. so do that, then get pictures taken. then get changed and me nd liz explore! so we get into the buffet place and we see our friend gary! the dude from the dinner table. so we sat there with him, and then his brother showed up. and then eventually this john dude showed up. hes going into 10th i think. but yeah met this new dude, funnny kid. yeah so we sat there with them for the longest time, it was fun. just listening to gary talk was hilarous. this kid is the randomest person ive ever met n my life. haahaha. so then we decide to get up bc it was boring. so we walk around the ship for a while. but then split up nd told them that wed meet them at the teen club place. but haa it was funny as we were leaving troy threw a lemon at gary. it may not seem funny but it actually was. they i guess had lemons sitting out and troy chucked one and it came outta nowhere nd hit gary.. hahah i thought it was muy muy funny. it was so super awesome though bc there was a 24 hour pizza nd ice cream bar! yesss. exactly what i needed, since we all know im ALWAYS hungry. okay so then after getting ice cream and taking pictures of the boat we go back to the room. nd order room service! holy cow room service was free! mmmmmm we ordered soo much stuff.
saturday - wake up in the middle of the ocean! FUN DAY. so we landed n mexico at like 12pm nd got off at like 1230pm. so we walk off the gangway and onto mexico! yesss. another country to explore. so once we get off theres like this huge alcohol store. tons and tons of alcohol. we didnt go in, but we walked outside of it. so me nd liz are video taping, and we finish and look around nd our moms are nowhere. were like okay wtf they were there 5 seconds ago?! yeah so then were looking around for the longest time, and then theyre n that alcohol store thing? real cool. yeah so we leave that place and see that theres a ron jon surf shop! cool stuff. so we go in there bc it was SOOOOOOOOOo hot there. if you think florida's hot then ur retarded bc its not compared to cozumel. holy cow. so after standing by the fan for a while we go to fat tuesdays! which is basically an american bar. sit there for a while and take pics nd stuff of the boat bc we were close to the boat. but the water n mexico is soo clear nd so pretty. love it. but yeah we got a pina colada nd a strawberry daquiri? idk how to spell it. nd we got water bc we were thirsty? lets hope it was american water, bc they say not to drink mexican water. but it seemed to be okay. so we leave there nd go to the spot to stand for our excursion! but apparently it was delayed for an hour. but mexico is an hour behind our time. so it was 1pm on ship time, and 12pm mexico time. so really we started the tour at 1pm their time. but w/e. so they sign us in for the excursion and we wait by the fountain! so maria gives us all a penny and we make a wish. hmm lets hope my wish comes true? probably not.
but the excursion ppl finally get there so they tell us to get in a line and groups of up to 4 ppl so we know how many ppl are gonna be on our jeep. so we do that and walk a little bit and get to the jeeps! ahh exciting. so maria drove since my mom drove to miami. so we get a white jeep and theres speakers n the jeep so we could hear the leader dude talking. there were over 10 jeeps altogether! nd the dude that was the front leader talked so loud into these speakers, so we prolly understood about half of what he said. but we finally got on the road! were driving nd driving and all it is is trees. kinda boring. so then we all stop on the side of the road bc he has to give us bug spray stuff. bc we were about to enter the hard core jungle cousin. so these jeeps r 4 wheel drive nd stick shift. nd we get n the jungle and it was soo fun. maria is a CRAZY driver! we were hitting every bump nd going through every puddle and hitting every tree! sooo much fun. so then we get to this hut thing nd chill there for a little while, get drinks nd food nd stuff. so then we leave there nd to look at a mayan ruin. okay this ' ruin ' wasnt any bigger than me. it looked like it was for mini ppl! so after that we go look at crocodiles? okay this place looked just like the everglades. boring. but w/e. so then we leave there and go snorkeling! ahhhhh! so we get to the beach. crystal clear water. get a safety lesson and get the gear. so we swim out a ways to actually get to the reefs, and we finally get there! it was soo beautiful! i loved it. so many fisheys and coral and all that stuff. we were n the water for at least an hour, maybe more. but that was soo much fun. soo cool. so we get outta the water, get changed all that stuff. then rinse off and head towards a lighthouse. it was a realllly tall white lighthouse on the island. so we climb up this thing. there was soooo many stairs. and we got to the top of the lighthouse and the stairs got smaller and smaller and then we had to walk through this littttle doorway that was more that half my size.. yikes. but then we get up there, take pics then get back down. super super tired after we get down! so then we got back on the tour bus thing and get back to the jeeps. so we get back to the jeeps, and leave and go back through the jungle! so were driving through the jungle and maria runs us basically into a tree? yeah so maria was being speed racer, real cool. soo then after that was over we get back to where we first started, and gave the dudes a tip bc they did such a goood job. haa. soo then we get back into the shopping part and we shop for a while, and we get a sumbrero! ahhh! i got a blue one & liz got a red one. very exciting! then me and my mom left b4 liz nd her mom, and we passed fat tuesdays. well lets just say this dude was SUPER drunk, and i saw a little bit too much. :/ but me nd my mom left nd got back on the ship, nd i showered! then liz nd her mom got back nd we ate dinner n the lounge.
