New blog 6-15-09

I know...I know I never blog. I don't know why that is. I just never feel like posting. But whatevs I am not going to waste this with excuses. So what have I been up to lately you may ask. Or you may not, who knows. Anyways so I finally paid off the cruise, THANK GOD. Northwest decided to change my flight again but this time change it so our direct flight is now a flight to Detroit, MI then to Miami, FL. I am ok with this. I like to fly and love airports, call me weird but Cassie hates it. She hates to fly and I think she is weird. And it is now June and under 100 days and the countdown is looking smaller.

So we FINALLY got a MN zoo season pass. After about 3 years of procrastinating we finally caved in. Now it sounds like we will be spending every weekend at the zoo and I am ok with that haha.

Lately I haven't been playing any video games which I know is making some of my friends angry but I just really haven't been into it for some reason. I have however been playing a lot of card games. For example I got back into playing Magic the Gathering Online. I like playing it because I can play someone different and not have to go looking for people around where I live to play with. Even though Misty Mountain in Burnsville has a lot of Magic players.

Oh well I am out of ideas to blog about. Until next time.

Wow...

So I talked with a Carnival rep yesterday and they said they can book me at the level that I wanted for $179 a person. Which comes to about $443 for the two of us after taxes and what no. Freakin' sweet. That's like $200 less than I had expected to pay.

New Vacation: Cruise # 3

So Cassie and I finally decided on our next cruise. We haven't put in the deposit yet so the plans aren't set in gold but we should have it by the end of the month. Also if anyone wants to come with that would be great. More the merrier. Just take the final total and divide it by 2 and thats how much it would be for one person. Anyways we decided on a Western Caribbean cruise. Where we will be visiting Key West, FL and Cozumel, Mexico. Here is the outline of costs:

September 21, 2009
Cruise: 704.16
Flight: approx 575
Extra Cash: 800?
Total: 2,079

Extra cash doesn't haven't be 800 since we hardly spent that last time but its a nice amount to start with.

Vacation - My Story pt 2

So its 6 am and I can't sleep so I will attempt to continue the story of the vacation.

Day 3 - September 14th: Arrival at Freeport
So after waking up fairly early the next morning I decided to look out the window and see that we were in an industrial like port. There were barges and ships being loaded with boxes. While I waited for Cassie to wake up I decided to watch some tv. I realized that we had local Colorado news, which seems odd because we are extremly far from Colorado. Anyways after Cassie got up we got our preordered room service breakfast and got prepared to leave the boat. As we attempted to find our way off the boat, which the exit is at the very bottom of the ship. Bought a couple of waters and put our feet on foreign soil. I knew we would have to take a taxi to everything so we started walking towards the taxi location. We passed a lot of small shops on the way to the taxi and Cassie bought a cool looking reef sculputre and the lady had offered to hold on to it until we got back. So we got into a van and packed ourselves into an old looking van. Kinda scary but whatevs. After about a 10 minute drive to the market we get out and start walking passed all the booths. I have not been complemented so much as I was that moment. Everyone is being extremly nice and wanting you to look at what they have. Which by the way everything was the same at every shop. Anyways I wasn't feeling very good so we didn't stay too long. Cassie bought a necklace and we bought our family and friends stuff and what not and headed back to the boat. Once back on the boat we took a little nap. After a sleep it was dinner time, we decided against going to the main dinner and was just going to eat the buffet again. After the buffet we went up to the top deck and just laid down and watched the night sky and the water. Which is an amazing sight to see. We did this because you need to be out of your room so they can turn down your room. So we waited for what we thought enough time to go to bed and went back to the room.

I am going to end this here I will continue the story later.
