| We all board the ship fine, and begin searching for our room. My mom, Aunt Marge and I were all going to stay in one room while Marie and Alicia would stay in another room (they upgraded to a window suite). We walk into our room and see two beds. Three people.. Two beds.. hum.. something is wrong. So everyone meets up again and we all go to the Pursers desk to basically complain. They say that cots are rolled in and a room for two actually sleeps 3. My mom was livid. Thank goodness Marie and Alicia had 3 beds and two people. I was the lucky one who was volunteered to sleep in their room. We go back to our rooms and out luggage is appearing at our door periodically one by one. We get dressed and ready to go to dinner. |

| We arrive at dinner where we are seated at a large round table set for 10. There are 5 of us and we all are courious who the other 5 would be. I was thinking "I hope it's not a little kid.. I HOPE it's not a little kid.." as I'm pleading, I see the same host that seated us come up and wave his hands to the 5 empty seats. I see two guys come into view. "Here come their girlfriends..." I think. My mind racing a mile a minute thinks, "This is a formal place. Manners would have the girls lead to the seats and the guys follow..hum." No more than a slpit second later do 3 more guys come into view and all sit at our table. All 10 mouths drop. The females thinking "THE LORD LOVE US!" They were custom made to our liking. The men thinking "Five fun looking females! YES!" A photographer was floating around and we got these pictures of all of us together. |
| Left to Right Males: Ezra, Chris, Jeremey, Andy and Paul Left to Right Females: Marie, Alicia, Me, Mom, Aunt Marge |
| Ezra, Chris and Jeremey work in the Special Olympics in managing and organizing events and Jeremey specifically gives out grants to people and events. Andy is an actor in LA who looks like Joe Millionaire with the personality of Jim Carey and the body language of Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Carribbean". He was making us roll on the floor with laughter every night. He also works for Eckerd Drug Store as the "photo guy" holding a packet of photos with a huge cheesy grin on his face. Paul is a teacher and going to school to aceive his degree so he can become a Dean. Cool, eh? |
