Ummm...so I was kinda tired when I entered my room on the ship...anywho...
Hey guys!!! I'm in the Internet Cafe right now, where it's like a million dollars a minute, so I'm gonna type as fast as I can!
Right now we are on our way to Turks & Cakos (is that how you spell it?) Ant and I did some of our own picture taking and video-ing today.
While I was video-ing inside the gorgeous gym of a woman sunbathing, the security man yelled at me. I thought I was going to be fired. Nonetheless, I still got some great footage of the ship, and met some wonderfully funny people in the Casino on board.
The flight to Ft. Lauderdale was SO bumpy. The turbulence was intense. As the woman next to me said her decadent, the flight attendant sitting in the back with us (oh yea, Ant and I were in the las seats of the back of the plane) well, I asked her "Is this turbulence normal?" Now, if I were her, I'd try to calm the passenger down. But nooooo, she said, "This is very unusual, I hope we're okay."
On the flight I got some great shots of the flight attendant reading the National Inquierer. And of the bathroom. And of the woman sitting next to me sleeping. All photos and videos by the way are going to be posted (fingers crossed) once we get back to main land in Ft. Lauderdale next week.
So, back to the ship. My room is being shared with Anthony. It's really small (bunk beds, a desk, a closet, a tiny bathroom with shower). It's literally 1/4 the size of a normal dorm room. It's small, but I'm stoked because it has a tv and a DVD player.
The boat is literally a floating paradise city. 10 floors that include two state of the art gyms, half a dozen restaurants and cabarets, a dance hall, bars, a 1200-seat theatre where we'll be performing twice on Wednesday night, a few pools, jacuzzis, massage places, spas, two casinos, a library/internet cafe, a shopping mall (yes, a mall on board...where I just bought Renu contact solution and motion sickness bracelets because it's getting bumpy, kids), umm...what else? The videos and pics to come will describe the rest. AND OMG! There's this blue water slide that litereally is four stories tall, and does like a curly q's into the main pool. It reminded me of the play-pens they have at McDonald's. I don't know why.
And the ocean. Like, we're in the middle of the ocean. I looked out and was like "Oh my God, our world is so much bigger than I thought." I said this to myself, obviously. But truly. The ocean seemed to go on forever, and gave me this perspective like, "Wow, there's so much out there." I almost broke out into "Somewhere Out There," but the two women from Jamaica sitting in the lounge chairs next to me may have thrown me overboard.
Oohhhh....speaking of overboard, today we had a drill where all crew had to grab there life jackets and escort all the passengers to different parts of the boat. I guess they do an Emergency Drill once a week on board. Anthony and I got so scared when we heard the sirens, that we locked ourselves in our rooms. I thought we were going to get in trouble, but was later told we didn't have to take part in it because it wasn't in our contract. Phew!
So far, so good. I am eating A TON (it's all free) and its delish, and I am trying to workout everyday as well. So between the eating and bench pressing, I hope to come back B&B...buff and black. We shall see. As they say on the Costa Cruise Line..."CIAO!"
Peace & Love, Will
