TTFN!

_B102735

I had actually been to the Caribbean before, and never really considered going back.  So TTFN may be true.  I might be back.

 

_B102799

Sunset side-boob.  Awesome.

_B102837-2

Yeah Sunsets!

Lil’ Boats

_B092612

Not every boat in the Caribbean is a cruise ship.  Though, they may out displace all other boats.  Wonder how you would measure that?

 

_B092614

There’s that Caribbean Princess everyone has been talking about.  She’s a little long in the tooth, but I’d still bang ‘er.

 

_B092633

The local fire department was well equipped for a set up shot.

Hey, Wait….

_B092561

I was on St. Maarten.  We can still invade another country and take it over for McDonald’s.  And their Dutch, what are the Dutch going to do about it?

Boats or Buildings

_B092555

Maybe I’d look at the boats.

_B092559

But, the buildings were pretty cool.   Choices, tough.

Mine Just Makes Cold Air





And here I thought we were at the pinnacle of technology. In the Caribbean they have air conditioners that make McDonald’s. I say we invade St. John’s and take them as an American unincorporated organized territory. What, we already did that? From the Danish? Well why don’t I have a g*damn McDonald’s giving heat exchanger?

Bazaar

_B092549

I was hoping for more bazaar shots.  But, after miles of hiking in the hot sun, it was almost time to go back to the wild and wacky world of a cruise ships hotel room.  They don’t have windows, ca-ra-zy.

Cropping

_B092546

Ah-ha, it says d’absinth there.  It totally has a “th”.  Anyway, this is correctly framing, since I didn’t crop it.  However, cropping makes a much better title.  What if I were to do some post processing.  Hold on….

_B092546-2

A little more ‘pop’.  In the end, I always go a little overboard and prefer the originals.  I should just suck it up and take a class. Or, even read a book.  Jeez.

LOST

_B092501-2

Adrift on a Caribbean island.  Where are they going without their shoes?

Flora and Fauna

_B092440

And more scenery, of course!

_B092442-2

These were some creepy.  Well, I don’t know if they were really creepy.  But, they did look like that scene in Beataelguse where the ghosts put the eyeballs on their fingers and wave them all about.  Remember that?  Now you do.

_B092452

These flowers looked succulent.

_B092461-2

Hey tiny little guy.  Thanks for posing for a couple of pictures.  Oh, your going to run away ‘cause the noisy asshole tourist is asking what I am up to.  No worries.  k, thx, g’ bye.

 

_B092464

I’m a fan. 

_B092472

I’m some sort of cucumber.  Really. Just try and eat me.

 

_B092487

More succulent!

_B092492

Though part of landscaping, a rather pretty pink princess of a flower.

Goat Stalkers

_B092389

Sounds so much creepier that way.  Well, you see we did have a shore excursion that wasn’t cancelled.

_B092403

It was very scenic.  With flowers and ocean and…

_B092411

Goats!  Well, I guess they were sheep, but I still think they are goats.

 

_B092419

And they followed us for a couple of miles. Well, maybe for a couple of mile.

 

_B092425

Bleating and charging, the goat brigade could not be stopped.

 

_B092426

Unless to drink some water.

_B092435

We finally lost them.  To the sea.  Muahahaha.

I Like it.

Something about a quality vacuum cleaner.  Just seems right.

The Interior

_B062238

The room could only be described as spacious. A well deserved upgrade.

_B112852

The red stairwell was for those with odd number cabins. Also known as the port side of the ship. I think.

_B112859

Cruise ships have awesome fake statistics, like world’s largest LED chandelier.

_B112944

More chandeliers. Not LED, so it wasn’t world’s largest anything.

_B112954

Not all you can eat sushi, but cheap enough to eat your fill.

_B112962

From end to end, there were hidden video slot machines. Hidden, can you see them.

_B112988

Some old magazines and a fancy looking chair. This is the third or fourth couple we saw posing.

_B113015

Dinner and a cirque. Pre-show, no photography during. As you also may be able to see, there was a lot we couldn’t see.

_B123043

Best part of the ship. Home of the Blue Man Group.

_B123047

Art. Yeah, about that.

_B123060

Blue’s for port. I think.

_B123097

The last night was a delight. Wine and Brazilian dining.

Other Boats

_B092347

We weren’t the only fish in the see.  The Disney people followed us forever.  Creepy Mickey Mouse bastards.

_B092351

A blue ship in blue water.  Who would have thunk it.

_B092612

Yeah, beat those waves shuttle boat.  Bet that’s really comfortable for the passengers. 

_B092614

And she was a mighty lass that Caribbean Princess.

_B092633

That’s totally where we were.  The boat had the name of the plce.  How crazy.

_B102654

Ever see the world’s second largest cruise ship parallel park.  No, well I did.  Take that.

_B102665

Damn!

_B102751

I told you, that SOB was following us.

_B123021

Mailboat delivers mail.

_B062267

Leaving Miami never felt so good.

_B062275

Imagine me waving.
