The Motion of the Ocean

Ahhhh…finally I get to sleep in. Had a nice, relaxing, and enjoyable night and got to sleep in till almost ten this morning. It was all fine and dandy until I went to take a shower and apparently the captain was up drinking all night because I was falling over left and right. I thought it was just me until Jeff and I went up to breakfast and there were piles of puke everywhere. Luckily the waves finally calmed down a bit and I found myself some Dramamine.

Our first day where we have absolutely nothing planned. After enjoying some breakfast we headed to the inside pool deck/lounge in movie theater to chill. We must have sat there for almost 2 hours just people watching. Holy cow, the characters that you see on a cruise ship. I think we counted at least half a dozen child mullets, 4 he/she indeterminates, almost 100 old lady camel toes, and a lady that we like to refer to as “tum tum”. Tum tum simply refers to a part of the female anatomy that should typically “hang” in the upper chest, not “sag” down to the tum tum. We also saw “Frenchy” for the first time since security check in—the man that had really bad b.o. and a transvestite girlfriend that he constantly makes out with. We waited and waited for hours to hopefully see Rodney Asianfield, but he never showed up. So, finally, we took off to lunch.

On our way back from lunch we kept running into all the college football fans wearing their team décor. We met a couple that were Ohio State fans and said “Go USC”, then we chatted it up with a Purdue fan for a while, who didn’t know that the Ducks were playing them today. As soon as we turned to walk away, guess who we ran into…Rodney Asianfield!! Oh, that just made my day. I love the guy. Once I am finally able to get a picture of him you guys will understand why we look forward to seeing him everyday.

From there, Jeff and I split up and I headed off to get my Swedish massage that Jeff booked to me as a wedding present. Isn’t he sweet! It was a-mazing. A 50 minute massage on a European cruise—does it get any better than that? After the massage, we met back up and headed for the lounge in theater. On our way up in the elevators a group of about 4 elder people got on, went up one floor, and then got one off. As soon as the doors closed, Jeff and I realized what had just happened—we had just gotten gassed via hit-and-run style by a group of old people!! We were on floor 4 and still had 6 more floors to go! And we stopped at every single one!! It was AWFUL! People kept coming on and off and thought it was us, all the meanwhile our eyes are starting to water and my lungs are burning. We finally reached our floor and ran off, while the smell still lingered. We turned to look at the lady that just got in—it was a glass elevator—and I could see her mouth “Oh, my God.”

Not much else to blog about for the rest of the day. Just more food, people watching, and a movie on the pool deck. Off to bed to hit up Vigo, Spain tomorrow.

In the meanwhile…GO DUCKS!!!
