The next morning we awoke to the beautiful St. Thomas. It was breathtaking. I loved it. When we got off the ship, we went on a snorkeling excursion. We took a racing catamaran out to St. James island and jumped off the boat and snorkeled for about an hour. I saw two stingrays, a shit ton of fish, and a starfish of david. It was a six-legged starfish. I took about a million pictures with my underwater camera. after we got back from that we were going to go to blackbeard's castle, but it started downpouring, so we ended up going back to the area where the ship was and going shopping. St. Thomas was also pretty dirty, but the people were super nice. The next morning we were in St. Maarten. GORGEOUS. Aboslutely beautiful. Clean, amazing. We got off the boat and shopped a bit, and then took a taxi to the french side of st. maarten and went to a nude. None of us took our clothes off. I think it would have freaked me out to see those people naked. My mom and everyone else went parasailing. I said FUCK THAT!! We just hung out at the beach all day. It was nice, relaxing, and peaceful. When we left there we went downtown to the straw market, and shopped around a bit. We finally found the real downtown and hung out. Took a water taxi back to the ship. When we were about to get on the ship, there were people passing out samples of rum and coconut smoothies. Gen tried the coconut smoothie and came and told me that i needed to get one. So i tried it and LOVED it. I wish i had one right now actually. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! We got back on the ship and had dinner and just hung out. every night there were shows, and comedy shows, and just a lot of stuff to do. The waiters danced every night at dinner. We had two formal nights. Dressed up and got pictures taken. It was great time. After the cruise my mom and i spent two days in key west. Now I really liked key west, but i think i would have liked it more if i had gone with friends instead of my mom. our hotel was across the street from the ernest hemmingway house. We went over there and saw all 47 cats. it was also next to the key west lighthouse, but we didn't go to the lighthouse museum. We were 1 block from duval street which is the main drag in key west. duval street has 64 bars on it. It's a crazy place. We saw the sunset at mallory square, we went to the buoy that marks the southernmost point in the continental united states. we went on a ghost tour we had dinner at the most amazing cuban restaurant EVER. we also had some really good lunch at this little stand. It was a middle eastern type place and they gyros were perfect. we went to the ripley's museum and that might have been it. It was a great time and a much needed vacation.
Now christmas is in like practically one day and i wanna kill myself. I don't want it to be christmas already. It's crazy!!! Although, christmas means it's only 2 months until my birthday. WOOOOOO. I had a halloween themed birthday party this year. It was soooo muich fun. I have the best friends in the world.
I just started seeing a boy. I like him a lot. He's super cute, and 28, never been married, no kids, has a good job, lives alone, has a clean house, dresses nice, and smells amazing. GREAT IN BED!! I have yet to find a flaw. I'm sure they're there, but i don't know!!
GOTTA GO TO WORK!! YUCK
