Cruise Part 2

Sorry no pictures! - They got a little mixed up. :( 
Day 6 - Cruise Day 4: St. Maarten to St. Kitts
In St. Kitts I got off the boat for awhile and walked around with my parents and grandparents. My grandmother bought me an awesome Coach bag and my dad and I purchased I nice pair of sunglasses for me! My grandfather had a monkey put on him and then got charged 10 bucks! That night there was a midnight party at the top of the ship and there was tons of food and music! Great times.
Day 7 - Cruise Day 5: St. Kitts to Grenada
I was in bed all day with cramps. I didn't do much. That night I went with my grandmother in the casino. She gave me $20 and I broke even. It was interesting. I had never done anything like that before. I've never even purchased a lottery ticket!
Day 8 - Cruise Day 6: Grenada to St. Lucia
St. Lucia was my favorite island. It was raining when we first got off boat, but we were able to find a taxi who gave us a tour of the island and a shopping mall! It was good, so was the food! There were random cows, chickens and super skinny dogs everywhere we went.
Day 9 - Cruise Day 7: CHRISTMAS
The seas were rough on Christmas. I was a little sea sick! Dinner was alright, but the best part was the second part of Karaoke Superstar! I would like to tell you I won, but I didn't. But, I did get second place. I sung Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". I rocked the boat! Lol.
Day 10: San Juan, Puerto Rico
This was our last full day, we left the boat and took a cab ride back to the hotel. That's when I lost my cellphone! :( . It was depressing. But, I was able to finally get a new one this week!

Cruise Part 1

I'm not sure if I mentioned it on my blog,
but I went on a cruise for Christmas.
No gift exchanges, nothing.
Just a cruise in the Caribbean. 
10 Days gone, 7 on a boat.

Day 1: Lincoln to Puerto Rico
The first day on vacation was spent flying. We arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the afternoon and I went out to eat with the whole family Puerto Rican food is amazing btdubs! There were 13 of us who went on the cruise. 

Day 2: Puerto Rico
Before cruising. We spent an entire day in San Juan, Puerto Rico. What did we do? Shopping of course. My aunt scored a super cute coach bag which she later gave to me! We also went to a fort on the water, which was amazing! That evening we went out to another Puerto Rican restaurant which had dancing and singing as entertainment! I even joined in on the group number!






There's me pointing!


Day 3 - Cruise Day 1: Boarding 
I'm on a boat. I'm sorry, but I didn't take too many pictures after San Juan, first, because I was too in awe of everything, and second, because I just wasn't feeling the greatest!
That night, we had a muster drill right before dinner (a muster drill is a drill to show you were you would go in case of an emergency), the best dessert of the entire trip, and Karaoke! Of course, if you know me well, I love karaoke! I had fun and just played around. 

Day 4 - Cruise Day 2: San Juan to St. Thomas
When we woke up on the second day, we were at the port in St. Thomas. This was the day my grandmother requested us all to go with her to Blackbeard's castle. We went on this Excursion and 2 hours and almost $70 per person later, we arrived at the "castle". The castle turned out to be a hotel with an old tower. We were disappointed to say the least. That night was spent with the family watching me in the first round of Karaoke Superstar. I sang "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and made it to the finals!

Day 5 - Cruise Day 3: St. Thomas to St. Maarten
This day I was sick, but I still left the boat and visited the island for a little while.






Cruise Part 2 will be continued on Friday!

Coming up later today: January Reading List.
