Why are “vacations” always so exhausting???
A couple weeks ago, I went on a 3-day cruise with Kaitlin, a bunch of her friends and cousins to celebrate Kaitlin’s bachelorette-ness…
FYI: For those of you who have never been on a cruise, this is NOT what most cruises are like. Every other cruise, no matter the cruise line, has a much older clientele, stops at ports and serves as an actual vacation. Not a 3-day-party-on-a-ship. I made Heather and Nichole both promise they’d go on a *real* cruise someday …
The Lido deck (deck 10 almost at the top) is where the cafeteria/grill is, where the pool lives along with this crazy water slide ….
I shared teeny tiny window-less cabin with Andrew’s cousins Nichole (pictured below), Heather and Cambria…
Some of the girls tried to sneak alcohol in with their luggage, but I don’t know why they bothered …literally *as soon as* Katie hit Lido Deck these guys were there ready to buy her a drink ….
While wandering around (and killing time on) the ship Friday afternoon, we came upon the main theater/stage …. that happened to be deserted and just asking for some goofy photos …
And while we were wandering around …. some of the other girls were decorating Katie’s cabin …
We had the *late* dinner (8:10p), and everyone cleaned up so nicely … Heather bought/made veils for Kaitlin to wear to dinner all 3 nights – because every bride needs ATTENTION!
Unfortunately, Katie was one of maybe 10 or 12 bachelorettes on the cruise…. so she had to share the attention with other brides willing to wear underwear on their head …
After dinner, we stopped by karaoke, and then on to the dance club.
…. Ah, yes, the dance club where I only stayed for about 20 minutes because I don’t really dance, I don’t drink, I don’t like getting hit on by strangers, and it was getting hot.
I like reading in bed and falling asleep ….
I’m such an old lady …. I think the others stayed out til 3a or 5a !
Oh Old Lady Amy (Ola for short), I feel like I am the same way too, except I don’t mind dancing, but I’d rather be relaxing more than anything. I wish I could have been there though!! Next time there’s a cruise I am so on that! & you guys make it look like so much fun. Especially the jumpy pictures. LOVE IT!
That looks like so much fun. I need to find some friends.
love you ola
