Technodaddy Abides…

Well, sports fans, I went on the second cruise of my life last week, and let me tell ya, it was a great time! I went to the western caribbean on the Carnival Holiday with a bunch of ballroom dancers. The cruise was set up by Curt and Wendy Johnson and I was their guest as a “Dance Host.” That’s right, boys and girls, it was my JOB to dance with the ladies. They had to twist my arm REALLY hard to make me do that. REALLY. HARD. Seriously.

There were 2-3 hours of dance lessons every day, and dances in the evening, in addition to the bevy of activities to choose from on and off the ship. I got to drive a dune buggy through the jungle to a secluded beach where I then snorkled in the deep blue water. Magnificent. Did some sunning, some sight seeing, and some shopping in Cozumel and in Calica. Got offered a ton of marijuana… Wow, I wasn’t prepared for that. Every street vendor would ask if I wanted to buy Cuban cigars. When I said no thanks, they would say “something stronger?” and then name off some esoteric names of weed. If I said no to that, they generally offered me the company of “Chicas.” Figure that one out yourself… If I were a pot smoker I’m sure I could have remained baked the entire shore excursion.

All in all, I have to say, I had a fantastic time. While the Holiday isn’t one of the monster ships that the cruise fleet has these days, it is by no means a small ship. There was plenty to do, and our cabin was comfy, and the food and entertainment was awesome. Oh, all my pics are HERE if you care to have a look.

Curt and Wendy said they were pleased with my services, and they have already said they’d love to have me come back for the next cruise, late in the Fall, or maybe this time next year. You can bet I’ll jump on that! Anyone else coming with me this time??? You know you want to…
