Day 5: Montego Bay, Jamaica

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | Fun, Life

11:00am - Rain.

On the plus side, I probably won’t be getting sunburned further today.

Probably gonna get off, just to say I’ve been to Jamaica, but likely won’t stay long.

12:54pm - So, Jamaica wasn’t overly impressive in my book. I mean, it was cloudy and ouring rain while we were off the boat, but once we got wet, we didn’t really care about that anymore. We checked out the Jamaican Bobsled Cafe, Margaritaville, and did some souvenir shopping, but beyond that, I can’t say that I liked it, or would go back.

Let me tell you, the roads? Nuts. For one, they drive on the left, which would throw me for a loop. For another, the streets are total zoos! It’ll be hard for me to complain about New England drivers once I get back. I’ll still do it, of course, but at least it’ll be tougher…

The boat’s got a pretty good sway to it, and has since we left port. So far, we’ve had pretty calm seas and smooth sailing, but now the movement is definitely noticeable, which made the “Dancing Like The Stars” event an interesting time…

It was great though; they had the ship’s band playing Big Band music, and a quick swing class and everything. Tons of fun. After that was the “Dancing Under The Stars”, which was supposed to be on deck, but ended up being mroe of an “under the ceiling” affair. The wind outside is insane, especially on the top decks.

Ended up being a hero though (at least in my own mind). We were doing the Electric Slide, and the ship must have hit a good wave or something, cause it came down hard on one side, and this older lady toppled, but I caught her. She was fine. Where’s my medal?! =P

The Lava Flow (like a strawberry-banana pina colada) was delicious. I like being inebriated enough to complement and unlock parts of my personality that don’t usually come out, but not enough to affect my motor skills or thought processes. In other words, I’m glad I’m a silly drunk.

Drink of the Day: Terrific Tuesday (Bacardi rum, sweet & sour mix, grenadine) - SImple, tasty, but didn’t go well with the superb lamb we had for dinner.

Shot of the Day

  • 1/2 Butterscotch Schnapps
  • 1/2 Bailey’s

Irish creme is my favorite liqueor, and I love butterscotch, so this was great.
