It's not mean or anything, it;s almost like "I wanna be on THAT ship"
LOL

Thanks Jaime - yes! That was an epic bonus that Mr. New York ended up in that pic looking at us 3 goofballs....this is how that scene unfolded...I finally decided I needed to "escape" from Senor Frogs (Debb had called me over like 3 hours earlier there - my original "plan" was to have one drink and go back to the boat and take a long nap). Upon leaving Senor Frogs, I started talking to that guy with the balloon "d***head"

- his name is Corey and turns out he's from South Bend, IN where I was born and lived til I was 14. So we're talking about SB and stuff, and along come Bierwulf Duane with his bottle of Jim Beam saying we gotta all drink this before we get on the boat! So, we did a lot of this

! Once I got back to the cabin, I totally crashed but managed to set my alarm for around 9:30 pm and yay! Actually got up and was able to enjoy the rest of the bands that night followed by karaoke till 6am! How I didn't have a hangover I have no idea! Anyway...that ended up being such a great night/morning!! So, I'm one of the "ancient mariners," right? And how did the "youngins" Duane and Corey fare? Well, Duane told me later he got totally sick and threw up in a ship elevator

and when I ran into Corey later (next day perhaps?), he didn't seem to remember who I was! I'm like, yeah, I'm the one who was born in South Bend! I think he kinda later retracted and said he did remember me - but lol! it made me think of the pre-cruise conversations about who would hold up better. Well, I say I scored big time for the ancient mariners that day!

(and to Duane and Corey - just kidding with you a bit here - it WAS fun hangin' with ya on the way to the boat....and Duane - thanx for the Jim Beam!
