Cruse Day 4 - Rotan

January 11, 2011

1:52 (*there was a time change back one hour)

     So it’s the fourth day of the trip. When you say it like that it feels like the time is going by fast… but in axial fact it doesn’t feel that way. We keep thinking its Wednesday today…

     Saturday night I didn’t sleep well… I think I was just too excited… Got up early and did some physics homework. We found trivia which is fun. I also tried to do Salsa but I gave up about ½ way threw it… I just felt too awkward and didn’t really follow the teacher that well… do I stopped when they were partnering up. For lunch we went to murder mystery dinner theater. It was different than the one last year. Last year I was asked to help but it wasn’t improved… This was presented by second City so has a fair bit of improve brought into it. Stefan and me were pulled into help with a seen. I like that kind of thing but Stefan doesn’t… We did a Margarita tasting in the afternoon. It was fun, and we talked to a nice man from the US about the president’s… but 5 margaritas in an hour is too much for Maxine… by about 4 margaritas. So the afternoon was sleepy.

     Yesterday we were in Costa Maya. It is 100% a poverty world run on Cruise Ship money. There is nothing else there. You can really see that there was a hurricane that visited it. They have done a lot in three years since it hit but it still sucks for them you can tell. Stefan liked the public pool with swim up bar (I wouldn’t call it completely public because you had to be on a cruise ship to get in the touristy aria to use it… but ya it was neat). We spent the morning on a Catamaran, the waves were really choppy (later in the Spa you could really see the effects it was having even on our big boat… the water was moving all over the place). We went snorkeling. I like doing that a lot. It’s really fun… though it bugs me SOOO much when I see people do stupid shit like diving to touch (or break) the coral… : S). There was a big school of big fish I saw… I don’t think I have seen big fish swim that way before, normally its just little fish I see like that.  We went to a Second City show, had a late dinner and just kina chilled. We are getting up early so the nights are often a little early too. Oh I also spent a good chunk of the late afternoon out in the sun reading.

     Today is Lazy. We are at Rotan but I am completely meh with visiting it. Stefan went out to the port aria for a bit but I am just hanging out. This morning we had room service breakfast, a long sit in our private spa aria… more reading. I finished the book mom lent me… Now I guess I should at least pretend to do Physics… We’re going to the Ice Bar at 5:30… and probably a show or two tonight… It seems that the port days are very quiet on the ship… but that’s ok.

     So…Well…Ya…
