Thanksgiving Abroad

Well, my much anticipated Carribbean cruise did not meet up to my expectations. My dear friend Yolene had a beautiful wedding and was very happy with her trip, so I guess that's whats important. I'll give you a short breakdown of the "funship":

Day One:

Wedding bliss! They had a very nice wedding that they have been waiting a LONG time for. The only strange thing is the minister we would later find out is also the host of the late night comedy show and other "adult" events. Made it a little strange.

Day Two:

Our first funday at sea. The day started out beautifully. We were about out of the gulf and the water started getting very pretty. The sun was shining and we were prepared for an entire day of relaxation by the pool. We had to get fuel for all this relaxation, so we went for lunch at about 11. The food was marginal, but nothing would stop us from our relaxation. Nothing except an ice cream cone and a flight of stairs that is. There was an abandoned ice cream cone sitting, melting on the second stair of the sun deck just waiting for someone to find. Of course that someone was me. I stepped on it then took a tumble down about 10 stairs resulting in a total knock out. The qualified staff in the infirmary would not give me so much as an ice pack and just strapped me down to a table for about two hours so I could "sleep it off". This reseulted in my head swelling to about twice its normal size and some pretty sweet bruises down my back and legs.

I have to get back to work, so I will keep you in suspense about the last five days of my journey. I will try to master the slide shows that you all have been doing before I come to complete my post.
