Talk Nautical To Me

 

So when my buddy from Arizona called me after her Halloween cruise last year and exclaimed that she had so much fun, she signed up for the next two years in a row, my responses was, "Really?..." Since then she has been  trying to talk me into going with her this year. I just kept saying things like, "Yeah, we are not cruise people... thanks though."

I  mean, a ship full of crowded, sun-burned, asshole tourists? "What could be worse?", I thought.

But the thought of being able to SCUBA dive in four different areas, hell four different countries even, in four days (well, Mexico twice: Cozumel, Belize City, Roatan, Costa Maya) peeked my interest. That with the idea of being in Mexico on Day of the Dead, tequila tasting, shopping for silver jewelry and dressing up for Halloween every single day of the week made me change my mind, and I enlisted six other friends to join us. Plus, it was a birthday gift from my sweet boyfriend. Bonus.

So if you're wondering why I didn't do a birthday post, this is why. I'm celebrating on the boat people, and celebrating Halloween and Day of the Dead all week long. Ariba!

Permission to come aboard Captain?!

I hope it doesn't suck.
