vacation to hell
Ok so a little update from the past month or so...
Well last time I was in Murray, I stayed for an entire week and met the guy I'm now dating. He's so sweet and I miss him much but I am going to see him in 10 days so I'm really excited. And the thing is I told him before anything happened that I don't just want to date to date in college...it has to mean something...so I guess this is all going good. He's coming home with me from July 30th-August 9th (first time meeting the parents too).
Besides the Murray trip, I've been working alot. Took the 3rd-5th off to go to St. Louis to spend time with Ali and Janelle. Loved seeing everyone again, since when I was there I ran into a bunch of my friends from school...which was really ironic too...also got to see Ross again so that was great!
Left for my cruise on the 8th and got home on the 16th...now let me tell you about my cruise to hell...
July 8th
Wake up around 5:30 am and the limo comes around 6 am...get to the airport, everything seems to be going great. 8:30 am we get to the gate to find out our plane was delayed...the UPDATE was at 12 (wasn't even sure if we'd leave by then). Well this wasn't the best news since we had to be on the cruise around 4pm and flying to Miami is a 3 hr flight and trying to get our luggage and that. Well then American Airlines trys to put us on a flight with United that left at 9 am...well there is me running across O'hare Airport (one of the largest airports in the country) from terminal H to termainal B...missed the plane--which was already full--so we try still to get on a couple other flights...but end up taking the noon flight which put us at Miami at 4 pm...so we're rushing to get our luggage and get on the bus to get to the ship...well yeah so the mean lady rushed us so fast that my luggage was never grabbed. So we make it to the ship and my luggage is suppose to make it there. Well that never happens so more tears happen. I mean how was I suppose to live for a week without anything...no bathing suit, shorts, underwear, shoes. So we get going and luckliy we had the nicest family sitting with us at dinner and their daughters lent me a bathing suit, shorts and a tank top for the trip. So that was that night...oh yeah I met my cruise friend Darcy on the bus over to the ship (from then on we hung out all the time).
July 9th
Day at Sea
Well this day wasn't too bad. I layed out for most of the day and started the tan I have now. Got a little burnt. Had formal dinner that night...had to borrow a pair of heels to match my dress from our dinner family. Hung out with Darcy some more that night and went to a show.
July 10th
Labadee, Haiti
Well got up and went to land. Swam for a bit in the water--it felt so good in the heat. Went to the flea market and bought a pin box for my little and got a cute box for me. Also started the shot glass collection. After shopping, my little sister and I went parasailing. It was so much fun. After that we pretty much made our way back to the boat for dinner and more that night.
More to update later (the rest of my luggage story to come too!)
