The second last night was a formal night too, we were at sea and everyone had time to get pretty.
I think that's a nice picture, it seems all our hair started to match color by the end of the cruise, strange.
Ok, almost the same picture, different cameras, Mom's digital is better than mine, not fair!!!
Well, after dinner, we took off to Dazzles, the ship's nightclub, and ran into Chad and Mike. Mom couldn't stay, it was too loud, but we had a blast. It was almost over and we all didn't want it to end.
Attitude!!!
Great Stirrup Cay
We saw lots of people getting their pictures with this sign, then after reading it we knew why. The sign says it's NCL's Pleasure Island, and has distances to nearby islands and the U.S.. It makes for fun photos, we had fun with it, can you tell?
It sure was pretty that day, I could live in a bikini. This is the D.J. from the ship, DJ Ross, he was very nice and we got to know him pretty well from all our nights in the bar, he played all the music we wanted. Kewl!!
Ok, that lump in the middle of the picture is a hermit crab, he was cute, I chased him down to get this photo. And the toes, well, remember that pedicure I told you about, well, the next day 3 of my toes were naked, like, the nail polish chipped off in one complete piece, very odd, so I painted them with the color I had that was close. By the end of the cruise 5 had come off, but I really enjoyed it and I loved the color, so I took this to remember how much fun it was.
Aubrey being a suntan lotion model, it's too far away, but believe me, it's funny, you had to be there. A shot of the activity of the island. They had volleyball nets, and picnic tables, hammocks and trails all over the place, a bar, barbecue house where they served lunch, a stage for the band, of course umbrellas and chairs on the beach, the spa had tables set up for massages, there was shopping and the hair braiders, and lots of palm trees.
Blue sky, palm trees, warm breeze, clear water, good food, great music, what more could you want....
The day to last forever.
Mom was still bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Thought this looked funny, like the boat was on the land, again, had to be there.
Mom's shot, snorkelers galore.
The barbecue, it was goooooooood.
It was so cool, you could stand in the water up to your hips, feed the fish all around you and see them very clearly when the sun was out. Man they were fast too, snatching up that bread like there was no tomorrow.
Very cool fish, didn't even nibble on my toes either, I was waiting for it though. At the far end of the beach was this rocky, coral outcrop. Very cool looking, like the moon's surface or something.
The water was just perfect on that side, with lots of sealife in the shallows. I caught the seagulls just as they took flight, was trying to get closer, but, didn't.
Then all of a sudden, this thing came floating up towards us, I thought it was a snorkeler, then it looked like a body, then it raised it's head out of the water and it was a giant green sea turtle, OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I screamed. I ran over to it, tried to get pictures, but was just happy to watch it swim near and then disappear under the rocks. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. It's head was bright yellow and green, it was big, and floated through the water with ease, gorgeous!!!!! I'll never forget it, it was the highlight of my trip. Wish I could have gotten a better picture, but oh well, it's engrained in my memory.
This is just some of me having fun, relaxing, and enjoying myself. Am I a poser or what?
And mom too!!!
I was talking and not paying attention, but I do like the un-posed for shots as long as I'm not making some kind of weird face or something.
Aubrey doing Karaoke the last night, that was kind of fun but not too many people can sing well enough for me to really like it. Aubrey was great though. Well, that's about it, we stayed up partying a long time and got little sleep before they booted us off the ship the next day, but it was all worth it. We had a great time. Stay tuned for upcoming photos from other trips and conventions. Ciao, Bon Soir, and I'll see ya' later!!
