Caribbean Princess 2008

So I am sure that many of you are wondering if I survived the big hurricane, and since I haven't posted in a while you probably figured that we got lost in Bermuda. However, we returned and I had another amazing trip.

Here are a few highlights :

-Crazy taxi driver in New York
-Melissa's amazing secret code skills on the room safe
-3 days at sea right off (thanks to Bertha, a lot of rough water, and rain as we attempted to get to Bermuda)
-New Yorkers, New Yorkers on the ship! Love/hate those accents! Famous quotes: "Hey ladies" and "They took our chairs!"
-Melissa's 30 minute rotations during laying out on deck 18. Set your watch so you know when to flip.
-Plates of fries and Movies Under the Stars
-Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
-Night kayaking through the mangrove canals to the bioluminescent lagoon "Why do we have two oars!"
-Emerald Beach, St. Thomas. The water is so beautiful!
-Grand Turk: Catamaran and snorkeling: everyone on board gets a little friendlier when the rum punch comes out!
-2 more days at sea: hanging out again on our deck 18 and Melissa just keeps rotating
-Bruce: my 52 year old flirt "I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but I have a suite all to myself and you are more than welcome to come use my shower."
-Our headwaiter Franco, who always had our table by the window saved for us
-All of Jessica's New Yorker impressions, her suction cup arms, and of course her bucket of beer "I think there was a language barrier between me and the waitress"
-Becoming Wavelength groupies
-Jennie's rendition of Axl Rose and "Sweet Child 'O Mine", accompanied by Wavelength

Just a few highlights....of course there are many more.... but now some pictures.
