After days and days of rain yesterday was absolutely beautiful! We wandered around and explored a lot. We came here for rest and relaxation and that's just what it's been! There is not a whole lot to do here, but we've had a blast just hanging out at the hotel and participating in the games here. It seems as though there is at least one cruise ship every day! The competition for people to get you into the stores is incredible. We went on a mission the other day to find dad a watch. We were solicited into this one store, they had the theory of divide and conquer. Little did they know these are the Dekens they were dealing with. The gentleman took dad to see the watches and the woman took me to see the rings. I said well actually I'm not interested in any rings, I'm happy with the ones I have, but within seconds, there was a ring on my finger and seconds later another. I'm not really interested in rings I repeated and walked over to your dad who WAS interested in the watches. They were very nice. Guess watches. He was trying several on. I (thought) I whispered, Leroy I can't handle the high pressure, to which the gentleman replied " Oh no pressure ma'am. Yeah right. But the price did drop DRAMATICALLY! Your dad said, well just let us go outside and talk about it. Of course they thought oh yeah right, they're gone! But your dad returned, because it was a great price. As I'm writing this, I sure hope I'm not repeating myself.
Dad and I participated in a game last night, hoping to win something but alas it was not to be AGAIN!! The girl was quite difficult to understand. All I knew about the question is that she wanted a number, and it was about Michael Jackson. (I thought it was hit songs or records) I kept saying numbers , she'd saw higher or lower, only to find out the question was "How many NOSEJOBS did Michael Jackson have?" Well guys, I now know it is EIGHT!
I hope you are all proud of me I haven't checked my crops in a long time either! Restraint, restraint, restraint. If dad goes to play poker though, it will be Frontiering as usual.
We went on an adventure to find a holed-em table yesterday. It was a success but the tables don't sit until the evening. I'm trying to talk your dad into it. I really would like this trip paid for, and it would be a lot of fun for him. I'm sure he would have no problem lightening some pockets.
Well as per usual, this is probably way too long, but if you're still reading, have a great day, keep smiling, and remember the mother ship's famous words, Even though I'm not watching, God is!!!" Love to you all, can't wait to at least hear your voices soon!
at post mom!! glad you have some sun! heres hoping it stays the rest of the trip!
