Oh Winter...

Oh Summer, dearest Summer... PLEASE come back. I'm sorry you felt the need to leave... I will beg you to come back if I have to.

Though, I have to tell you... while you have been away I cheated on you with Heated McBlanket and Wooley McSockies.

Ever notice that pumping your gas actually takes LONGER in -20C. They totally slow down the pumps... TOTALLY.

My chubs get so cold. My love handles and ass NEVER get warm. It's probably a good thing I'm single, I'm sure touching cold fat opposed to warm fat would be way more of a turn off.

I need someone from a warm place to adopt me. I could deal with days and days of rain over snow.

Le sigh.

Stuff & Junk Rantness

Don't talk shit about another country or race... ESPECIALLY when you're in an international airport, you hick American racist piece of shit.

If your kid is running around like a rabid dog, this isn't going to be any better on the plane. Drug that thing, STAT!

Yes, I heard you... as did the whole fucking airport. I know you THINK you're funny... but um, you're not.

Positive one:
I think it's rad.com that the airlines in the States call on the military personal first... Even before first class and preferred fliers. Very awesome, I applaud you for that America. :)

Ok, I don't want to assume anything here BUT, I only see this when I'm in the USA. Ladies, American Ladies... You do know that you're supposed to pee IN the toilet right? 99% of the toilets I've come across have piss all over the seats. What the fucking fuck!!??

You know you're dealing with an inconsiderate ho bag when you have 3 flight attendants standing around you, telling you to sit down as we are taxing out on the runway and you still remain standing, playing with your phone, fucking around with your bag, declaring that you are turning it off. Hey, dumb ass, you're holding up the flight, sorry it's such a inconvenience for you to fly, but please oh please sit the fuck down! If I miss my connecting flight, not only are you going to have to deal with the wrath known as Fally, all that bad karma is going to fuck you, HARD, right up the ass... I'm just sayin'.

Dealing with your loud, spoiled brat toddler by yelling over said spoiled brat toddler... TEACHES HIM NOTHING! (Hey, I'm no parent here, but SERIOUSLY??!!)

Geezus fuk! I hate people.

Stay tuned! traveling always causes these ranty blogs from yours truly.

Day 9 - Flippy Floppy Adventure

Day 9
December 4, 2010

"Stay humble", said the Customs Guard with a smile when I went through US Customs this morning. I laughed as I'm sporting my HUMBLECOCK shirt today, I'm so classy.

Mandy and I woke around 7 am. No rush for anything this morning as we had a late check out, because our flight isn't until 3 pm today. So we watched Couples Retreat and waited for our number to be announced.


I'm sick of people! I'm sick of lines! We lined up to get off the boat. We lined up to get our luggage. We lined up for customs. We lined up for a taxi. We lined up to check our bags at the airport. We lined up to go through security. We are now in the Fort Lauderdale airport waiting for our flight. And, I'm just guessing here, but I am sure the lining up hasn't come to an end yet! We will line up to get on the flight, and line up to sit down and to board our other flight and... Oh yes, line up for customs again. Haha!

Picture of a picture. Bought this one. Turned out awesome!


I have my sound eliminator headphone on right now and I can still hear the Asian family clear as day talking. Mannnn they are loud.


The cruise consisted of 20% caucasian peeps, 40% Asian and 40% black people. No kidding. It was an odd mix actually. There was a Loy of Americans on there. We were definitely out numbered.

Ok, going to post this... Perhaps there will be a part 2 for the day if anything interesting happens on journey home.

Day 8 - Flippy Floppy Adventure

Day 8

December 3, 2010
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!


Slept in today. Was nice. We skipped breakfast and had a nice brunch. It was our last full day on the ship. Bitter sweet...? We did all the stuff that we missed/wanted to do today.

We played mini golf. Played some ping pong. Maggie and Ryan did the zip line while Mandy and I went to pick out and purchase our professional ship photos. We got some really great photos this week! Can't wait to show them!


We packed up... What a pain in the ass! We are a little nervous about weighing in at the airport, I was 44 lbs coming here so I'm hoping, since I packed my heavy stuff in my carry on, that I'm ok. Mandy is definitely over haha!


Before bed, we checked out the the Raising Tides Bar. It's a bar that moves up and down between floors. It's pretty cool. We hit up the hot tub one last time and met some new people. We actually got to chat up one of the comedians we saw as he joined up in the hot tub. Cool guy.

The Internet was down so we didn't get to check in to our flight until 2 am! Gahh!

Day 7 Flippy Floppy Adventure

Dec 2, 2010
Day 6

We went to Costa Maya today.

Drunk.

The end.

-------

Haha!! Just kidding!!... Well we are (were) drunk but yeah...


The weather was hella shitty today but we still went on our outting excursion adventure to Jungle Beach Break. Alcohol was included!!! What! What! In the butt!! Woohoo! We made the best of it, sat around in the hut and drank our faces off!! However, we DID make the time to put our footsies in the ocean We met a couple from NY and partied with them.



We bought horrible shirts from a Mexican named Israel. We made friends with the bathroom attendant named Margarita.





We sang karaoke on the way back on the bus...There is video of this hahahaha!! PRICELESS! We were the only people (6 of us) on the bus, a full sized "Grey Hound" sized bus.

We sang christman songs on the shuttle thingy from the bus to the boat. The old folk didn't appreciate the awesomeness of the ordeal. What abuncha funless peeps... Secretly, I'm sure them wished they were us. Hahaha!

Formal dinner was delish, as usual. After dinner we checked out the comics here on the boat. It was a good show, very funny.

One more day on the ship and we head home on Saturday. I'm kind of sad :( Le sigh. What a great trip!






Other note worthy stuff:
Woke up feeling like shit. Really sore throat, it was horrible. I forced myself to get up and move and proceed with my day. Helped. Throat is still sore though. Hope to heal up quick.

At midnight there was a medical emergency with someone one the ship and they actually speed up the ship and we got to Costa Maya 4 hours early. I was zonked out but Mandy said she felt it speed up. It knocked over a glass in our cabin. It scared the crap outta Mandy. We laugh now, but hope the person with the emergency is ok.

Driving through Costa Maya to the Jungle Beach Break location, we saw parts of Mexico that they don't really want you to see. The "homes" that people live in that are really only shacks and huts. It's crazy.

We saw way more military today equipped with machine guns. It's was weird and kinda scary! What are the protecting us from? Or are they protecting themselves from us?

Day 6

Had a hellova time trying to get on wireless last night and this morning! Yesterdays blog didn't get posted till later today.

We were at port today:
Cozumel, Mexico.


The weather was pretty shitty but we still had lotsa' fun! We shopped, what seems like a billion shops, and bargained our asses off. We all found some pretty cool stuff. Example:


We hit up Senior Frogs at the end of or wet windy adventure... and, well, that is a whole other blog haha! Minimal photo evidence to follow...





As usual, dinner was super tonight. I am definitely in love with our waiter and assistant waiter aka "Bread Master", both are adorable, hardworking men. (Will have pix of them.)






There is a storm outside and the water is hella rough right now, the boat be rockin' hard tonight! It's kinda making me a little ill. BOOOooo!

I'm hitting the hay early as I feel a sore throat coming on, buhhh hum *sad panda*

Tomorrow: Costa Maya. We booked an exertion adventure... Hoping the weather cooperates.

Day 5 - Flippy Floppy Adventure

November 30, 2010
Day 5

Mandy and I slept in until 9 am today. Whoop! Breakfast was really busy in the Dining Room so we were sat with 2 pairs of older couples. All American. People keep saying there are 'lots of Canadians on the ship but we have yet to meet any.


We finally got to see some of the photos that have been taken over the last few days. We didn't have any "matched" because, we missed the photo opportunity at the beginning that basically kicks the face recognition software into gear. We have some great photos. We will be choosing a few to take home.

I tried rock climbing for the first time today. I got half way up the wall but got stuck and couldn't get any further up haha! I will try again though.

I'm sitting by the pool right now. It's so hot! Haha! I see people walking around in jeans and shirts, I cannot comprehend this insanity.


We went and participated in "Quest" tonight. It was FUNNY! I helped the "TEAM" out a bit with challenges... Synchronized swimming, pigging backing a guy, helping the team make a pyramid, the pyramid also included Maggie and Ryan, showing my special "talent" which was rolling my tongue (No one else came up with a talent. Booo!) Ryan offered up his shirt and pants for one challenge hahaha! Good times! Got some video, will have to show that when I get home.


But yeah, overall just a relaxing day, ate too much, got too much sun and took a wee nap. Just what a vacation should be like.
