a DANGEROUS Mission for suncreen and stamps!
Eventually we made our way to find the slides, but 1st I needed to buy sunscreen because we ran out . DO NOT BUY IT HERE, now I knew it would be expensive. Looking back we should have just burned $36 for a bottle of spray and that was CHEAP.. there were some more expensive. E said well theres YOUR souvenir I dont even have a pic to commemorate it.
Then if we hadnt dropped enough money in 5mins we rented an extra-large locker for $20.
Finally after all that we now had 4hours to enjoy, so up 1st the lazy river.
Does this raft make my butt look big?
Then the big slide thingy.. I dont remember the name and do you really care? Lol
Walked around a bit to find some other types of slides and found this make out spot
Next was another slide not sure if this is P, E or J?
And I havent even drank yet.. Must be the $36 sunscreen fumes
Great view from the top of the slides
I had to make my way to the potty so being the mom that I am, told everyone to make a pit stop (cuz you know as soon as mom goes back to the water someone else has to go so you dont get a rest and relaxation time ) Well I get out of the bathroom and the boys and E are NO WHERE I search a bit farther walk around to see if they are by the lazy river nothing.. now minutes are ticking away, im getting mad, E has the locker key so I cant even get a drink lay out and say forget you guys. So off I go to see if by chance they walked to the beach . Sure thing.. HELLO PEOPLE COMMUNICATION.
J saw parasailing and REALLY wanted to do it but because we were short on time and had already spend a pretty penny at the Atlantis and on sunscreen we told him next time for sure! I told E Im gonna get married like this next time. He said good luck!
Got to admit it is a pretty postcard moment.
We rode more slides; a few more times and I tried to get video of us going thru the shark slide, but of course my camera took a dump? Not sure what happened but I got us going down then getting out. But while we were in the mist of things.. NADA.

Then the boys were getting hungry. So we got 2 burgers and chips and cokes to share. Another arm and a leg later we were eating. Like we had never ate in our lives LOL.
Once we finished eating and had dried off we got our stuff from the locker and made our way to the front to catch a cab ride back to the port.
E was in search of a shirt, I a shot glass, postcard and whatever the boys wanted. I found a post card addressed it and found out one of the little markets had stamps. So I left E and the boys on one side of the street and walked across and got the stamp and 2 sodas for the boys.
I asked where to mail them and in a heavy accent was told what I thought was down the street at the light, take a right up the little hill . Ok no prob. I run over and tell E Ill be right back to mail them and relay the info. So off I go, Im a big girl I know Ive read how dirty, nasty and drug like some part of the island are but come on most cities in America are like that I have enough street sense Im FINE.. I lived in LA for gods sakes . So I ask the police man and he gives me the same directions.. off I go.
Do not go down the street and up the hill I REPEAT.. turn around and run back to the ship. Do not make my mistake. I get to the light make a right and start walking up a hill.. When a rode is EMPTY you should know better than to keep walking but my dumb *** kept going. What I do next I cant even believe I see a bum and think its a great idea to ask for directions. Well home fry was slurring, and I finally say ok thanks and start to walk away but he wont let me go and grabs my wrist I THEN FREAK. He calls his friend over and says she needs the post office, so they start saying just give us money and we will mail it with homey still holding me (granted not tight but still way out of my comfort zone. So when I get nervous I get loud and I said its ok I have to go thank you, I heard a yell of HEY WHATS GOING ON THERE so home fry lets go of me and I turn and RUN as I pass this guy opening his shop he says you ok, I say YES thank you! And run back to the main road. I could have been slaughtered all over mailing a stupid postcard.. TO MYSELF!
I should have known nastiness would await me when the street was called Dog Flea Alley
Ya I know, you should never go anywhere alone, I tell my kids this. Anytime Im with a group of girls we know this.. but why I thought this was ok.. no clue. So to calm my nerves I got a tasty beverage at the local liquor store..
Found the boys shopping, and E knew something was up by the way I was so I told him and all I get was thank god your insurance is up to date thanks babe!
Eventually as E was doing his tshirt time shopping, he tells the cashier my story and the guy offers to mail the postcards for us. Of course note to self always ask the people you buy crap from if you buy enough and they are in a nice enough establishment.. they might do it.
So we make our way back to the ship but 1st picture time
Looking cute J
Notice the boys faces.. this is where things went downhill FAST
We make it up to the room, boys order room service and shower, while I head up to get a DOTD, I down that sucker after the day I had and have him refill my cup.
The boys now are not feeling good and this is where I realize they are overdone. It happens every trip we take someone gets sick. Its from the go go go. Well this time it wiped out both boys. Neither wanted to go to their clubs, or dinner, etc. They just wanted to lay in bed, watch movies and sleep. So thats what they did.
E and I watched for the stragglers, then the best walk of shammers.. er run of shammers came!
Please excuse my horrible video coverage.. I had a few beverages or was in the mist of drinking one it seems.

I cant say E and I reflected back on our 8days and enjoyed the sunset together, he ditched me to start packing.. see thats our trade off. I book it, I shop for it, I pack for it, I plan it, HE does the clean up! (I think I get the better end of that deal!)
So while he was dealing with this
I was enjoying this
That is until this happened and the thought of the cruise is over
But there is chocolate still, the best chocolate cake, ordered from room service!!!
Eventually I went in showered and helped E finish packing (if I dont do our carry offs we would get off in our jammies and for E that would be a site him in his boxer briefs and socks LOL oh and probably a Dallas cowboys hat!
By this time we had missed dinner, but we had pre paid our tips so I didnt feel bad and no one did anything over and beyond to wow me for any EXTRA $$$. The boys were halfway to dream land so after we set out the luggage, E found Tito, and told him not to worry about disturbing us cuz we were going to bed early didnt want him to know the boys were alone (now I get all safety mom like, where was this common sense of mind in Nassau?) he hands us some extra towels soap etc we thank him and get back to the room. We asked P if he was ok with us going out to catch the last show. P is semi excited he gets to babysit and stay up late again. so we went and caught the last bingo game hoping it would clear off our bill nope just added too it
Grabbed a drink at the bar then went to watch the talent show the passengers put on. The 1st girl was about 16 and did a Hannah Montana song and rocked it! After that everyone and their mom sucked.. until the finally and this guy comes on who I recognize.. hes the guy thats 2 decks up and 2 cabins over that plays the music as we leave port. Hes our port neighbor friend I tell E.. he thinks I have had too much sun too much to drink and Im losing it . Really it was him.. I swear! Anyhow he closes the show by doing Frank Sinatra.. he was on point. Sounded like him, acted like him, the whole shebang. Finished with I did it my way which led me to cry cuz that was the end of the cruise. Point for Mickey cuz I didnt cry as hard as when they intro the characters and fairy dust falls from the top of the atrium.
After we take a romantic stroll along the boat, contemplate rebooking for an onboard credit but decide not to.. & its not cuz we didnt have a nice time. Unfortunately with Es work we never know if he will be available, in country etc when we can/want to cruise (only when school is out). And your Carni rebook certificate is only good for 2years. Hindsight being 20/20 REBOOK as it would MAKE us figure something out and cruise and I soooo want to get on that Carni Breeze ship now. That boat and that itinerary is ah-maze-ing! But I digress, we head back to the room where P and J our dead asleep in our bed so that means.. E and I get to rock paper scissors for who gets the top and bottom bunk I win
Best sleep EVER!!! No one was hogging the sheets, pillows etc.

Next Up: To quote Titos little sister Janet, Is that the end? NO!
Looks like a great day at Atlantis! I love that you can get the room at Comfort and use the slides at Atlantis! I got a free stay there once and loved it! If you ever go back, you have to try the conch! Tastes so good you can't belive you are eating a huge sea snail!!! 
I hope he had a good trip home. 
Holy crap- you are freakin me OUT!!! I am so glad the story had a happy ending!
