Sea Dayz
From February 2nd to the 10th I went on a long vacation with my Dad and friend, Elizabeth Howard. The cruise was a week-long and consisted of three different stops such as Roatan, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico. Our first two and a half days were sadly at sea, which then means long boring days on the boat with hundreds of scary strangers. The “half a day” was honestly really crappy and cold (considering we were on a cruise to be warm) the temperature in Louisiana was 61 and very VERY windy, so cold. That day I remember doing almost nothing besides going in the hot tub with Josh Minnema and Elizabeth to watch the Super Bowl. The second day I remember getting burnt to a crisp. I completely forgot how fast you burn on a cruise ship and was in incredible pain for the next couple of days. Day two on the sea, I spent most of my time indoors considering I felt like I had pins and needles stuck on my skin. I mostly sat in my room and dreadfully did homework on my vacation. Day three we finally hit land! Which was Roatan, Honduras (home, sweet, island!). My Dad and I are obsessed with going to the Bananarama to hang out, so we adventured over there. For the day we caught up with friends, swam around, walked the beach, and went parasailing. When I went to the island I was extremely sad because I usually go scuba diving and I expected to do so throughout my trip. It has been about two months since my ACL reconstructive surgery so the doctors really limited me, sadly. Although I had a great time I have learned that I am most definitely an island person than a cruiser, as it was sad to leave to go back to the ship…

I really enjoyed reading your post. I am disappointed that you called 61 degrees cold considering that it was in the negatives yesterday. It sounds like you were disappointed with your cruise because you had torn your ACL. But, you seemed to enjoy yourself once you had gotten off the boat. It sounds like it was a fairly fun trip overall.

I thoroughly enjoy reading about you life and all of the adventures you have (I’m secretly jealous of you). I’m also sad to hear that you did not get to enjoy your trip as much as you want because of you injury, but I like how you included that into your blog. However, I am mad that you are complaining about 61 degree weather when it’s below 0 here in Wisconsin. 😦

As the “Elizabeth Howard”, so mentioned in said post, I’ve gotta say I agree that Roatan was SO MUCHLY MUCH MUCH FUN. Like wow, time of my life for surely. I too agree that island life is the way to go, it would have been so amazing to wake up and spend the day on Roatan, the whole trip. But I also didn’t think that the sea days were that bad. I mean, they had a pretty stellar gym, and all that time for reading! Still feel bad about that sunburn though.
