"When Trip Reports Attack" could be what is happening here. You reach a point when so much time has passed, etc. scary
Anyhoooo...today is December 20th...Dw is on the mend...and she even got up early and went up to breakfast without me. Mean, huh? Leaving me hanging on my own. Well, ok, I do love sleep so I guess she wasn't all that mean to me at all.
We had wanted to go watch Monsters Inc 3d...and that was at 9am. I finally rolled out of bed shortly before that...no time for breakfast, but there is time to bring Milk Duds to the theater. So I grabbed them and headed down. Found DW already settled in and watched. Monsters Inc is a very good movie...so it was enjoyable in 3d. Not sure that the 3d did anything for it...but it was good nontheless. It does annoy me all the movie companies re-releasing in 3d. Come on....can you get any more cheap? Why create a new movie when you can rehash an old one. But I digress.
After that we went up and sat in the sun for a while and had lunch. Somewhere along the way we ran into Zack.
Zach and I hanging out.

After that it was time for our Mixology class. you all had to live through me whining and complaining about the wine tasting and how it was barely a full glass of wine. This class made up for it and then some. These were some serious drinks!
Our set of drinks
Our presenter was Jesus..and he did a terrific job talking about what mixers go with what alcohol, and things such as that. We had 5 drinks to learn about:
1. Melon Ball - Yum
2. Blue Hawaiian - Yum
3. Cosmopolitan - yuck, I'm not a big fan. Oh I drank it...but not a big fan.
4. Jesus Punch - YUM...Jesus made this one up. fresh rasberries and blackberries, muddled on the bottom, Malibu rum, bacardi white rum, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. good stuff. He said that he always gets in trouble after the classes because no one knows how to make his concoctions...but everyone asks for them after the classes. Nice!
5. B-52
DW does not like coffee flavor at all..which is the base for the B-52. While I do not drink or enjoy hot coffee..for some reason iced coffee, or other coffee flavors I do like. I am pretty sure I'm insane.
Jesus made another special drink at someone's request so DW got that...and then we all got another shot at the end. Needless to say we were schnockered. And that is the technical term for it. Feeling no pain at all. I'm surprised DW could even walk since she had not eaten much for a few days. Then again maybe she should have had mixology earlier and it would have killed whatever was in her stomach!
DW getting ready to drink
Here I am getting ready to drink!
And drinking...
Dead soldiers!
After drinking we went back to the room to get ready for dinner. Tonight was formal night #2 in Parrot Cay.
Aren't we cute???
DW grew some ears. Not sure what that is all about!
Zach with his friend on his shoulder. He picked up this cricket looking thing in mexico the first stop of the trip. Freaked out our assistant server!
Frano was having a good time...with Rick and Patti!
So were Audrey and Doug!
Zach and Dina....As I think I said before, Zach spend most of the trip at our table and was a welcome addition. He did sit with his family a few nights...
Our whole table...a great group of people to sail with!

We didn't have any desire to see Dreams...so instead we went with Zach, Doug and Audrey to play Eucher. Neither Deanna or I had ever played it...and I definitely was not any good. But it was fun to learn a new game. Zach spent much of the time arguing with Doug and Audrey about rules...apparently those crazy canadians play different rules than the crazy americans. Who knew.
It was really fun, though...learning new things are always good. Not sure if I shared this earlier, but my thought on Eucher is that it was invented because cards were lost from the deck...and these were the ones that were left. If you are not familiar with Eucher you play with 9-k. At least I think it is 9. I'm sure someone will correct me.
Time for bed...for tomorrow is the end of the world.
I leave you with our Turkey.
Next up: Costa Maya..oh my!
Thanks for sticking with me!

the western view of animation is that it is just for kids, while the rest of the world sees it as just another art form. Sorry, I'm sure you meant your comment to be lighthearted but it came across as a bit rude toward anyone who enjoys the art regardless of age.
We were wondering if you and your wife did any of the behind the scenes tours? Like the bridge tour, the galley tour, or the entertainment tour? And do you know how you sign up for one or all of these tours?
