Trippin': Key West - Key Lime Pie

Am I dumb for not knowing/realizing that Key West is famous for their key lime? How did I know that? But if I didn't know it before, I mos def knew it when I wandered around Key West because there a few key lime stores in one tiny area. I've only tried a key lime pie once in my entire life and it was not my cup of tea. A traveling friend decided he had to buy one and try it to see if it was substantially better here. I'm not sure if it was better but it was definitely a lot more sour. The look on everyone's face as they took a bite was classic. My face literally just went into an involuntary spasm spree. There was one slice and four people and in the end, there was half a slice left. I doubt that I will ever have key lime anything ever again.

Musik Mundi: Bliss

Like many X-chromes of the world, I got together with a group of girls, dressed up and went to watch SATC: The Movie. An Oscar it is not, but entertaining it mos def was! I normally don't get a lot of good songs from the show but the movie had two that I really liked! The song Kissing by Bliss is heard in the balcony scene where Big grabs Carrie and kisses her seductively and passionately. Most people thot it was super sessy. I thot it was kinda gross. Eeewww! His saliva was all over her neck and decolletage! Yuck! Eek! The song was so pretty though. I never knew an accordion could sound so supremely romantical. You don't hear it much except towards the end. I know this sounds cheesy and possibly barf inducing but I told the bf that this would be great music to walk down the aisle to. If you're wondering what his response was, it was nothing. Because I told him while he was in deep sleep. REM sleep. Hah!

Persona Grata: Nick Ho, OD

A big thanks to Nick for updating my eyes to a more current script. He's such an all around great guy. So if you ever need an eye examination, go to him!

Tonometer. Also known as the machine that puffs air into your eye. I hate it as much as Rachael Green hated it.

Can you see my magnified eye? I'm frackin' gorgeous! Hah!

But I don't wanna get an eye exam!

An example of what an ace patient I am.

Bf's turn.

The opto-straddle. I heard a whole semester is spent in perfecting this technique.

Trippin': Cruisin' - Enchantment Interior

Royal Caribbean
Enchantment of the Seas

Some residuals of the ship's interior.

The Shops of Centrum where you can get things you may have forgotten at 10X the normals price. You can also buy all sorts of souvenirs here from different ports, even the ones the ship did not stop at.

The Solarium houses the pool and jacuzzi that is strictly for adults only. That's where we spent a lot of our time. They have a snack bar where you can get burgers, pizza, fries and hotdogs all through out the night. Yums! That along with the Island Oasis pina colada. Heaven!

The Bolero Lounge. One of many places to buy alcoholic beverages. Because that's how they make a lot of their money. I can't believe how much some people drink. Nauseating. We snuck in two bottles of vodka and managed to only finish one bottle and it was a struggle! I guess all of us just weren't into getting completely throwed while on a ship. I don't know about you but I'm not too great of a swimmer when I'm faded. We're frick frackin' low key and grown up now!

The super loooooong hallways. Our room was basically at the front of the ship so it was a bit rocky. I loved the rocking sensation though. It helped me sleep pretty good. Our room had absolutely no windows because it was the cheapest one they offered. That means that our room was also pitch black. We would wake up at 7AM and it would feel like it was still in the middle of the night. They really need some digital clocks in there.

There was this bronze/brass statue of a man sleeping in a chair with a newspaper covering his face. It was crazy because it looked so real from afar!

Another way they try to make money? They have photographers constantly coming around and taking photos. And then they try to sell it to you for twenty bucks. Big rip off! The only time it may have been worth it was when everyone took turns taking photos with the captain. It was worth it because being able to get a photo with the captain otherwise was pretty impossible. I wasn't about to pay for anything so I just took my camera tried my best to get some photos of my photos.

Chops Grille is the only fine dining restaurant available on the ship and it is not free. Therefore, we did not go there.
