1.Ladies and gentlemen, I am excited and loving this cruise, but no joke… something bad has happened to me EVERY DAY!!! God only help me tomorrow when we go snorkeling… chances are, I’m going to get eaten by a Shark, or I’m going to drown… if I do, I love you all. You heard of my traveling woes, and the next day was clear, the day after that (I left it out of my update) I went to the bathroom and got to step on puke (thank God that as an elementary teacher I have had to deal with puke in my day, so I’m good), then yesterday my camera got stolen. Lucky for me, I’m very adamant about emptying the pictures off of my camera each day, so I did not lose any of my pictures… however it sucks to lose a BRAND NEW camera. I bought a new one here on the ship that is almost identical to the one that was stolen. We say stolen because both Abbie and I KNOW that it was in my pocket, but stupidly, I had the string of it hanging out of said pocket, so we think that someone swiped it. I’m okay about it though because again, I didn’t lose any pictures, I just lost the camera. Today’s mishap will not be blogged about, but just know that it blows…
2. Last night at Karaoke, our flamboyant buddy, Karaoke Kim asked me if I knew “The Prayer” that has been done by both Charlotte Church and Josh Groban as well as Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. OF COURSE I KNOW THAT SONG!! I’m a music teacher!! However, being the karaoke snob that I am I didn’t really want to sing it with him… because well… he is just an interesting character. However I said that while I was on the cruise I would let loose and do stuff that I normally wouldn’t, so I decided to sing it with him… OH MY GOSH… his voice is AMAZING!! When he came in we’ll just say that I said something entirely inappropriate into the microphone. Abbie is posting it on Facebook when we get home, so be prepare.
3. The best part of this whole cruise thing is that until we go to dinner, I am in a bikini and a coverup with flip flops. That is all. The thing about that is that everyone else is in the same!
4. Okay, there is a talent “competition” on the boat. When we got here we were like “Oh, we should do that!!” We figured that we had it in the bag… until they explained that it was a “Legends” show, where they have pick male and female “legends” and a few of their songs out for the people to sing in the huge theatre on the last day of sailing. Female legends include Gloria Estefan “Rhythm is Gonna Get Ya”, Aretha Franklin “Respect”, Madonna “Like a Virgin”, and Britney Spears “Hit me Baby One More Time”. Now that is slim pickins’. Abbie is Aretha, Gina is Gloria, Annika (Canadian chick who is AWESOME-and was on Canada idol top ten females BTW) is Madonna, and I, Stephanie Lee Rains, one of the “Chicago Girls” will be playing the part of Britney Spears. Save me. But nevertheless, it will be cool to say that I got to perform on a cruise ship!! We even get costumes and back up dancers!! More on that later!
Now onto Isla Roatan. Abbie and I opted to stay on the ship today for some sun. I ran two miles along the track this morning and then we have spent the last hours sitting by the adults only pool and sunning ourselves. However the view that we have while doing this is UNBELEIVABLE!! Here’s some photos of where we are in port:
