One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor
Do you know what time it is?
It’s Howdy Doody Time!!!
Anyways, the trip is coming to a close and we are cruising north to LA from Cabo San Lucas. The last 5 days we have been stopping in Ports along the west coast of Mexico. We have been to Huatulco, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, and finally yesterday in Cabo. The plans for the week went a little something like this.
Huatulco – Snorkeling and Souvenir Shopping
Acapulco – Started smooth with a trip around the city on a tour and then it all went down hill or maybe up hill depending on your perspective. Lola and I joined a couple of the party goers, Bruce and Ashley, on a trip to Senor Frogs. After about 6-8 Coronas the double shots of Tequila started and that just about did it. It was officially, as Ashley would say, a SHIT SHOW. I think I was a little hurting for a couple days. Luckily we had a day at sea after that night.
Puerto Vallarta and Cabo were both very short days on shore. We hit the beach and shopping in Puerto and Papa and I went fishing in Cabo. Papa caught a Wahoo that was about 4 feet long and about 55lbs. It was really impressive.
What I really wanted to do was give you a quick overview of the people that are on board and nicknames that Lola and I have been giving them, especially if we don’t know their real names.
Batman and Robyn: This is a younger couple by ship standards. They are probably in their mid to late 30’s. The woman kind of looked like a retired version of the old pop singer Robyn, the one who sang “Show Me Love”. Anyways, we started calling them Batman and Robyn and then it turns out that her name actually is Robyn. What are the freaking chances?
Titanic Rose: We figure this cute little old lady was on the original Titanic and she has the wardrobe to prove it. Everyday it is another cute ensemble and anyways topped of with a little hat.
Nipple Pants: I know that you are all thinking that this could be everyone on board given the demographic but there is one guy in particular that makes all the others look like teenagers. I think he should just make sleeves out of his pockets and save himself buying a shirt.
The Venga Boys: There was a show on board called the New York Vegabonds. They were actually not a bad quartet. Lola and I naturally started calling them the Venga Boys. We actually got a chance to get to know one of the performers. His name was James Baylis. That was pretty weird but we figure he just wanted to hang out with young people as well. I don’t blame him.
Finally we have our favorite hang out, The Lights. Officially called The Northern Lights it is the night club on the ship. Most nights it is just the few young folks, Lola and I, Ashley, Steve, Brent and Dyan. We show up and bug DJ Travis, one of the cruise activity staff, to “Play the Hits”. It is all quite funny. On the lucky nights we get to watch an older couple we have all dubbed the “Chicken Dancer”. There is nothing quite like seeing an old guy with no rhythm grind it out with his wife. Now THAT is entertainment.
We stop in LA tomorrow and then spend a couple days at sea before getting off in Seattle. It should be a good trip and we will need to take pictures of all of the staff and crew that we have made friends with. I may get on more posting up before we get home. Once we are at home I will post a bunch of the pictures, probably on Flickr for yoru viewing pleasure.
Until then, the trip from LA to Seattle should be a big party.
SHIT SHOW!!!
