24 Reasons For 24

Okay my birthday was insane. Cheree made me a shirt that had 24 dares on the back. Of course being the competitive person that I am I had to attempt all of them. On the front of the shirt there were 24 suckers that people had to suck off of me. I of course had to go around asking everyone if they wanted to suck me.

Here is a list of the dares: 1. Lead the bar in a song, standing on a chair 2. Start a conga line 3. Take a shot off of someone 4. Have someone take a shot off of you 5. Convince someone to take off his shirt (or her) 6. 60 second hot seat with 5 people your choice 7. Kiss a bald man on the head 8. Be serenaded by someone 9. Make a face on your stomach and make it talk 10. Make up a dance to a song that's playing 11. Get spanked by somebody 12. Someone asks you truth or dare #1 13. Rub noses with a person of your choice 14. Re-enact that famous When Harry Met Sally diner scene 15.lick your elbow 16. Have a guy write his cabin number somewhere on your body where no one else can see 17. Someone asks truth or dare #2 18. Staring contest-winner buys 19. Sing and act "little teapot"20. Without saying anything walk up and smell someones armpit 20. arm wrestle a person of your choice 22. someone asks truth or dare #3 23. perform your own version of the can-can 24. make sure you have all candies sucked off.

Yeah that is right I won the arm wrestling contest. I of course got to pick my competition, so I picked Charlene from the spa. She put up a good fight, but I took it in the end.

Another one of my dares was to have a conga line going through the bar. Oh my goodness it was hilarious. Conga line is not stopping anytime soon. It left the bar and even came back. Here I am trying to lick my own elbow. Unfortunately that was the one thing on the list that I really couldn't do, but believe me I tried and tried all night long. So this last picture is one of the ones towards the end of the night. Paulie is asking me what I have on my stomach and I wasn't able to answer him. Cheree of course always in the back just laughing.

It was a great birthday. Good friends, good times. Of course the party will of course continue in Seattle, can't wait. One more week and I go home!!!!!!!

It's My Birthday, kind of...

So we celebrated my birthday a tad early. It technically isn't until tomorrow, May 25Th. However the ship has had some engine problems lately and we don't even know if we are going to stop in Bar Harbour, Maine. So we decided hey lets just celebrate in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Here I am with Charles in front of the giant violin.
Gotta have cake on your birthday. Of course they put sparklers on it, so I blew and blew and nothing happend...how rude:) The whole ship family showed up. It was a really fun. We even decided we are coming back to celebrate Randall and Paulie's birthday here.
Cheree, Chris, Paulie, Ian, Riva, 2 guests, Wendy, Dawnell, Randall, Charles, me, Doni, Laura and Albert.

Repositioning Cruise

Cheree and I made a new friend in New London, Connecticut. New London I spent the day shopping. I bought a new project at a local craft store. I know really exciting.


Cheree and her new buddy

Me and my new buddy. He really likes Dr. Pepper. Here I am with Kathleen and Dennis waiting for the tender boat to go see Rhode Island.
This is my future house, yeah right. Rhode Island has beautiful mansions all over the place. Cherees friend Tim lives in the area and he took us to all the mansions. Cheree found pop its at a local magic shop and the 3 of us threw them out the window at people.

Here we are in Quebec City. I love this place it is the coolest. I just wish I knew more French. All I know is Bonjour and merci.

I love gunchpunch and daiquiris

I hate to say it, but it was Becketts last daiquiri night, sad times. Here's to you buddy. During this long repositioning cruise we also introduced a new tradition that is gunchpunch night. Only Chris knows the secret recipe, but I think he told Paulie.

Laste, Cheree, me and Albert enjoying daiquiri night
Chris dumping his creation into the jug.

Gunchpunch also happened to be on the same night of black and white.

I don't know who this guy is, but whatever anything goes on gunchpunch night.

Savannah, Georgia

Savannah, Georgia is a really cool city. I spent the morning with Cheree and Randall. We ended up taking a city bike tour.

Here we are in front of the Mercer House. This house was the site where the plot takes off in the movie and book of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

After a little city tour a bunch of us went out to lunch at Paula Deans famous restaurant. It was all you can eat southern food. Oh boy it was good.
After lunch I did some shopping with Doni and Randall and somehow ended up in a gay bar. Yeah again I don't know how I end up in some of the places I do. Overall it was a damn good day.

Hooters

It had to come to end sometime. This last cruise was amazing to say the least. I know this next cruise will be nothing like this one. Of course with everything that went on this last week I couldn't expect anything but craziness when saying goodbye. Cheree and I meet up with Woodsy, Bri, Schmidty, and Travis at Hooters on Ft. Lauder dale beach for what we thought would be an hour of drinks and lunch. What it turned into was 6 hours of craziness. Unfortunately Bri had to leave as soon as we got there.

Bye Bri!!!!!
Really don't ask I really don't know what happened, but it was fun. The guys bought these name tags off the girls for $20 it was insane. Here we are with the Hooter girls. Cheree and I ended up getting name tags as well, but we didn't have to pay for ours. I was Vanessa and she ended up being Aisa. We wore them the rest of the night and only answered to Vanessa and Aisa, it was fun.

Yep that is Woodsy wearing the whole Hooters attire.

After Hooters Woodsy, Aisa and Vanessa took a cab back. Woodsy had to catch his plane and Aisa and Vanessa went back to the ship. There was a crew barbecue going on and Aisa and Vanessa took a power nap and headed out for the evening. We meet up with our pal Alberto at the jazz club and we caught up with the rest of the family. We even saw a manatee, but you couldn't tell by the pictures I took, but take my word for it, it was a manatee.

Party Continues in Barbados

Oh my goodness Australia took the World Cup and the party continued all through the night. I didn't get back on the ship until 6 the next morning, thank goodness I didn't have to work right away. We ended up going to this place in Barbados called Harbour Lights it was great you paid $20 to get in and then it was free drinks all night long.

Here I am with Bri, Woodsy and Brett

Woodsy is definitely the crazy one of the group. He got on the roof of this place and just started dancing. The locals were just like "all right Mon' please be careful up there."

Woodsy somehow managed to get a jug of rum punch. Hey when you have so many people you got to be resourceful.

I just think this next picture is funny. All of us getting back at 6 am and it is light out.

World Cup Cricket, Aussies Take All

Today was the final cricket game in Barbados. I somehow magically got the whole day off of work. Okay I switched my schedule around so I could go to the final game. Come on it was for the World Cup Cricket match. It’s like the super bowl of football or the World Series of Baseball. So of course I went with my cricket posse Cheree and Albert. When we got there it down poured for a good 2 hours. I loved the rain, but I guess you can’t play cricket in the rain. We bought tickets outside for 50 dollars again, but this time they were not in the party zone. Actually they were not bad seats besides the fact they were in between a ton of Sri Lankens. I was wearing Aussie apparel so I decided we were not going to sit there, but I was going to get us in the party zone.

Here I am with the Fanatics group. Yeah that's right I am a wannabe fanatic.

I somehow pulled it off I was able to get all three of us into the party zone, so that meant free drinks all day long. Which yeah was not good, but hey it didn't matter I didn't have to work all day so no biggie.

Here I am with Cheree, Albert and a friendly guy in the party zone. I have no idea why Cheree and I are wearing those ridiculous wigs. We probably thought they were cool at the time.

That's right the Aussies took it all. That's the team celebrating after winning the World Cup.

St. Vincent

Another Caribbean island checked off the list. St. Vincent is a really beautiful island yet I really was not that impressed. The highlight of the day was jumping from a 30 foot tower because really there isn't much else to do there. Brad and I swam from one beach to this beach pictured here. Cheree and Celestina said it couldn't be done in less than 30 minutes, ha we did it in 28 minutes.

Yep that is the elegant MS Maasdam in St. Vincent.

Here is the 30 foot tower, I jumped from the top platform.
Oh yeah there is the huge splash I made. Oh goodness the splash really hurt my butt. 30 foot tower accomplished, skydiving soon to follow.
