We're Back

Vacation was amazing. Eating, Drinking, Laughing: we did each of these things - A LOT! Picture taking? For a blog post it might appear okay, but in all actuality I did a pretty poor job. By the time I nix all of those that were accidentally snapped while my camera was still in my pocket, those where I had the flash off, and those that those that are crooked or blurred (maybe a bit of a sobriety issue), I have very few left. I'm hoping that some of my shipmates did a better job than me.


I'm not sure how much we learned in the mandatory safety training...


















JB might need more than an orange vest to save his life?



















Chris was full of goofy faces and high-fives for the bar waiters. They all learned his name ("Michael" according to his Sail and Sign card) the very first day, and made sure he kept a drink in his hand. "Michael, Another Mojito?", "Michael, a whiskey sour?", "Michael, another Red Bull and vodka?", and when Chris just ordered a Miller Light, they say "oh Michael, too many Mai Tais this afternoon?" Surprisingly he didn't fall in any bodies of water this year, and he made it to dinner every night.

We don't know the lady in the yellow shirt, but she surely made it into this picture.
























Sue - be jealous. An entire bar dedicated to sunflowers!

Last day of the trip - Michael switches to "Winning for Dummies". I'm pretty sure didn't win on this machine, but he was able to play for a really long time. Not losing money at Black Jack or Roulette during this time was practically like winning. :)
