I leave the curtain open at night so that when the sun starts rising I can wake up without an alarm. Im a light sleeper so any bit of sunshine wakes me up, plus Im just one of those types of gals that just doesnt want to miss a thing on vacation. Figure I can sleep in when I get home... or am dead LOL!
Was trying to be a good girl and keep with working out, so got up and changed and P heard me and said he wanted to go with me. So off we set to find the gym, who knew we would do a 5k in the process. We headed towards the Serenity deck, but seemed to pass it 3 times lol. Im blaming it on lack of sleep and bad signage, thats my story and Im sticking too it. (Actually hubby said he had the same issues the 1st time. also)
P took off to lift weights, he's all about "gun control" LOL. I jumped on the treadmill, which should have done the elliptical. Reason being is running on the tread at the front of the ship is HARD. The sway of the ship and up and down motion make it seem like your running hills. That part is fine, but the sway to the left and right is what throws me off. The guy next to me and I kept grabbing the rails and laughing trying to not fall off the "track".
When I was done, P and I went back to the room. Where by now E was up and watching tv in bed. P jumped into the shower while I called room service. Momma needed her coffee. I jumped in the shower next, while E got ready to head to the gym. P received the coffee and gave a tip (we keep an envelope of $1's in the safe just for room service and we taught the boys one our 1st cruise how to sign and tip for room service)
Took the opportunity to let my hair dry naturally while sitting on the balcony, watching the sea go by.
I drank my coffee with Rumchatta (yeah the rum runners made it on!).
Looked over the Fun Times to figure out what to do today.
Our meet thread had a lot of activities planned for today also. So needed to make sure whatever we figured out to do, it coincided with our meet ups.
I am one of those anal vacation planners and have spreadsheet to keep all our activities in line.. plus since no one listens to me when were at home planning they an check the spread sheet before they leave the room (I keep it taped on the door) plus Im totally forgetful.
J got ready while I finished my coffee. Then the 3 of us set out to get some breakfast on the lido deck. When we were finishing up E text me via the hub to say he was done with his workout. We said we would meet him back there. So that J could get E's phone as he already had plans to meet up with his new buddies. P and J both took off and we told them to check in from time to time. Along with no pool unless you tell us 1st so that we can watch you (yes they are great swimmers as we have a pool at home, but ya never know when things can happen and so we need to be present. )
E and I went exploring the shops more.. Its great when your hardest decision for the day is which drink to have. We always say were going to buy the big bottles for our liquor cabinet but never want to travel with them... plus we belong to Costco so no need to buy then there LOL.
After looking around all the shops and not seeing any deals, we figured we would wait till the last sea day when they usually offer some type of BoGo.
We ended up in the casino, where we tried to win a stack of money. Which didnt happen, weird I can win a crappy stuffed animal but not $100.
After wasting $5 each on the machine we figured that was enough (ya I know were BIG spenders LOL)
Lets head to the lido to listen to some music. We didnt want to be under the sun today since we had our meet that greets later. We found a high top table by the Blue Iguana Bar, and a nice waiter named Manny came over and got us a bucket of beers.
Seriously life is grand right now.... oh to be back on that boat!
At 11am our meet and Greet was having a Cabin Crawl/Poker Game. I had initially signed up, but only because I wanted to see all the different rooms. You didnt have to play but you did have to wait for everyone to in order to see each room. Sooo hubby didnt want to go thru all that, and since he was still awake and not wanting to nap already. I bypassed it and hung out with Grampa on the Lido deck. Amy was playing guitar near the bar to start us off.
Then eventually Matty came out. And the FUN began.
Line dancing time... If you are going on the Breeze with Matt as the CD look him up on his social media sites as he post the line dance tutorials. They really help to somewhat learn before so your not completely lost.. as he has a few different ones to dance to.
The couple behind me was out there everyday doing the dances. They also were on our meets group and had a great time cutting a rug.. err the deck LOL. We danced to Taylor Swift Shake it off, the Wobble, Feel the Rush by Shaggy, and a few others that sadly I cant remember anymore.
I had to yell at the hubby to take pics, and Im surprised that he actually got a video of me too. I dont get in my pictures since Im usually the one taking them so this is a shocker.
Around 1pm the dancing ended and out came more alcohol... not for us. As in the Red Rum vs Blue Tequila Challenge. I actually thought it was a game of some sort... nope it was the drink making contest. Normally I find it very boring, but thanks to Matty he kept it entertaining with lots of commentary.
I dont remember which team won, but the only chick in the contest won. Girl Power lol. Dont ask me the name of the drink either or what was in it... I dont take THAT great of notes while I cruise LOL.
We were getting a little hungry and thought we best grab something to eat after the beers. Guy burgers was way to long, so we grabbed some tacos. They were so yummy. I got one of each, chicken, beef and fish. Hubby just got beef. Hit the spot while being washed down with some beer!
