George's Visit!

This past week my boyfriend George visited.  It was so much fun.  We did tons of great stuff, including a visit to Tortola's Virgin Gorda.  Virgin Gorda has all of these caves that you climb through to get to the baths, which are these beautiful little beaches.  We went with independently of the ship, but the ship has an excursion there that was cancelled because of the weather.  The waves were crazy and at one point they drenched all of our stuff.  Of course George and the other guys loved the waves, and I think that Brett L has tape of George getting completely taken under by one.  Anyhoo, I'll try to post some pictures.  It was a fabulous week.  I already miss my little Georgie.

George!

George visits in 3 days, I'm so excited.  Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep because there's so many places I want to take him for dinner and I'm not sure what I'm gonna order.  And despite the fact that Brett Lyons and Chris Witaske keep saying that they're going to take up all of his time building forts, I know that we'll have a blast.  And what could they even make forts out of?  It's not like there's tons of blankets and pillows lying around everywhere.  I mean there are quite a few on the ship, but those aren't made for fort-building.  Those are made for being quiet and sleeping, which I wish Brett and Chris would do right now.

Anyways, hopefully when Blogger stops being such a jerk about letting me post photos I will be able to post some from George's visit, and from the past few weeks.

Sassy,

I got to see my parents this past Tuesday in the Dominican Republic. It was insane and so much fun. My cousin Jed was getting married in the DR, and our ship happens to go to Samana every Tuesday. I guess most people visit the resort area of the DR, which is about 7 hours away from Samana, but my cousin is really cool, and just happened to be having his wedding an hour away from Samana. So my parents extended their trip a couple days and met me where we dock, and I got to hang out with them and my aunt and uncle all afternoon last Tuesday. It worked out so well. And of course we got Chinese Food because that’s what Jews eat on Samana day.

Also, if you’re wondering how many times a person can watch the movie “Dan In Real Life,” then I’ll tell you it’s about 1.5 times a week. At least that’s what I’ve been averaging.

Sassy,

So we're well into our 4th week on the ship and things are going great.  Our shows have been a blast, and this week we're doing our first adult-only improv show.  I guess we can be more suggestive in this show, and I plan on doing mostly toilet humor.  Just kidding... kind of.  

Anyhoo, I'm going to try and attach a photo of the cast from our last show, although I'll tell you what, blogger has not made it easy for me to upload photos.

In other news, I learned something about myself.  I cannot have peanut butter in my room.  I bought peanut butter and jelly when we were in Miami last week, because I thought I could make myself peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch sometimes.  Well, wouldn't you believe I just started snacking on it all the time.  I mean, I ate half of the jar in about 3 days.  The point of the story is that I had to not only throw it out, but I had to put toothpaste in the jar, because I was afarid I might take it out of the garbage and try and eat it, a la that one episode of Sex and the City.  So the moral of the story is I have no self-control.  

Love,

Vanessa
