<< My Vacation Week.... >>

Monday...

Okay...here is my recap....

Saturday - Busy, busy, busy day! I had to do laundry...get cash...buy more necessities...get my inspection sticker -- everyone was in such a rush to leave already! So....by about 8 p.m....we headed out for Houston...

We stayed the night at Luis's Aunt's house (Esmer's husband - I have to specify which one...since you'll find that I'll be talking about two Luis'...One is Esmer's Husband...the other one would be Nelson's friend).

She was cool as hell! She can stay up and party with the big dawgs! Anyway...we got some drinks from the beer store....then we went to the bar for a little bit...the boys played pool while the girls chit chatted...then we went back to his aunt's and partied some more....

All the girls crashed out in the room....I don't even know how...all I remember is giggling...and then crashing out...

Sunday - Woke up with a hangover...Sandra (which would be Luis' aunt) made us a bad ass breakfast. She called all of us her 101 Dalmatians since there were so many of us....she's the sweetest person ever! She had a nickname for each of us....Anyway....we all got ready - with one bathroom and 9 of us...it takes a little while. :-) But we finally got there....the boys did their thing (I think they went and played pool) while us girls did some shopping....

Then we all met back up at Sandra's and went to this Mexican Restaurant called "Palenque" where we had much drinks and some good food....I tried "Sex on the Beach"....this drink called "Leg Spreader"....and a couple of "Blowjobs" where we had to do it the right way....take the shots with only our mouths and our hands behind our backs....took pictures of that stuff and everything....

Went back to Sandra's and drank a little bit more before crashing out at about 4 in the morning....

Monday - would be our first day on our cruise....we were planning on getting there by 1:30 (the earliest time we could get on the boat)...and didn't get on the boat till about 3 - just made it in time...they stopped boarding at 3:30....and the boat left at 4....

We went and checked out our rooms...Luis (Nelson's friend) didn't want to share a room with a man he didn't know, so we told him to share with us...Anyway, we went to the main lounge afterwards and had the boat drill...and then we ate...showered....and went to the Casino and gambled a little and drank a lot...and when I say a lot...I mean A LOT!

Didn't gamble much, though....Gambled for the first time and found out that I really don't have a knack for it. With my luck, I should have known, right? So call me a sissy, but I quit after I lost 10 bucks....I even felt bad for losing that much...I kept thinking that could have been 2 drinks in my system! Anyway, that first night...we must have tried just about everything in the drink menu...and it hasn't even hit 11 yet! The club opened up at 11....our "Galax-Z"....so we (the girls) went to our rooms at about 10...so we can get dressed....

The club was fun! We danced our asses off and the DJ kept commenting on us...saying "Lookin' good, ladies..."

Went back to the room afterwards where I fell asleep next to Nelson...on this little ass bed....cause Luis took the other one and didn't want to share and put the beds together...F'in' Luis!!! (That would be Nelson's friend :-) )

Tuesday - Fun day at the Sea....except the sun wasn't out...and it was a little chilly...(note, we're barely on our way to Mexico leaving Galveston)...that might have been the reason why...

Anyway, we ate breakfast at the Promenade Deck...by the Pizza place....then the boys went off and did their thing afterwards while us girls did our thing....we got in the jacuzzi for a little bit...then got in the Sauna....then got dressed and ate lunch with the boys...then we went and read our books while the boys went and gambled....like I said, I found that gambling wasn't really my thing and tried to stay away from it after the first night....I just needed to try it just to say that I've done it before... :-)

So....that night, we got dressed and watched a comedy show at the Endless Summer Lounge (This man was hilarious!)...then went to the club again...danced like there was no tomorrow...and met our DJ and my sugar daddy...details? Here it is....

Our DJ...he's a cutie pie with this cute accent....he sounds smooth....He's from New York and this is his first DJ contract with Carnival...after the club we went upstairs to eat some pizza and we just stayed there talking for a while...he's a sweetie...After we ate...he dropped me off on my floor and I went off to my room....with Nelson and Luis...while he went off to his floor along with the rest of the crew members...

My Sugar Daddy....we just called him that cause he's the type who would give me anything I want and treat me right...but...he's not my type. He's 26...not too bad...and offered to take me on another cruise...take me to Cancun...and everywhere else you can possibly imagine...

He came with his business partner (who happens to own 5 companies)...2 of which he's running himself...so the nickname "sugar daddy" comes about...

And then I keep asking myself...why can't I just stay with a sweet guy like this who would give the world for me? Why do I have to be attracted to those sexy assholes like Nelson who would just break my heart and make me cry? And I know this...but still my heart won't listen....

Wednesday - The ship docked at Cozumel at 8 in the morning...Lost Nelson and Luis...so I take it they spent the day with these two girls...one of them I work with...and let me tell ya...she's triflin'...She was nice the first day...but after that, all hell broke loose...snotty...hatin' b*tch...who kept trying to flirt with Nelson through out the whole trip...

Tell me why these girls would come knockin' on our door every day at 7 or eight in the morning....and in the afternoons before dinner? Mostly when we're taking naps...tell me why she called "MY ROOM" at 6 in the morning on Saturday asking for Nelson? TRIFLIN'...and I don't like her one bit...

Anyway, on with Cozumel...we almost lost everybody else as well...but finally Beannie, Peter and I found Esmer and Luis...and then we found Val and Rico...

So how was Cozumel? It was BEAUTIFUL...we went to the Market first...then we went Downtown and found this little Mexican Cafe where we had lunch...while some Mariachi band played a song for us...then we went and shopped for souvenirs at the ports...and then we grabbed a Taxi and went to this Beach Resort called "Palancar"....at this point...it started sprinkling a little bit...so then we figured, "What the hell?! We might as well snorkel!" Okay....so that was Luis' bright idea...but it really was fun! I've never done this before...so I was a little scared...when we sailed out in the middle of the ocean...and put on our snorkeling gear....the tour guide said, "Are you ready?" And I said, "Not really." But I had to do it, anyway....and as soon as I put my head in that water and saw the beauty of what was laying underneath...all the nervousness....the apprehension...all of that went away....it was all so breathtakingly beautiful! I would do it again in a heartbeat....

So then we sailed back on shore...and by that time the sun finally lit up...and we stayed by the beach and got some sun...while drinking this beer called Sol...with some salsa music blaring from the bar...

Now, that was very relaxing...

Then our Taxi came and picked us up at about 4:30....and then we had him drop us off at the mall...we stayed there for a little bit...I got some Chocolates with Tequila inside...and then we went and walked around by the little souvenir shops...got some shot glasses...and then we went to Carlos and Charlie's....

Let me get started on Carlos and Charlie's...cause that was a blast!

Carlos and Charlie's is this bar/club at Cozumel...it's located downtown...and these people can party it up! They have one in Calica, too...but we didn't go to that one...

Anyhow, as soon as we got there, I got a beer (Sol - tastes just like Corona...but I think I like this one better....it's soooo good with lime and a little salt).....then we started dancing.

Now, let me tell you about their shots.

Every single time you take a shot...their waitress would come with a whistle and feed you the shot themselves....and then they'll grab your ears....knock on your head about 3 times....jiggle your boobies...and give you a spankin'...no doubt it's a scheme to make the guys buy more shots...we took pictures of that stuff...

And then...they had these Conga lines...wherein they gave us a bunch of tequila shots straight from the bottle....we had to go through the whole place...and they had waiters with the tequila bottles at every corner...we must have taken about 6 shots just in one conga line...and we did 2 Conga dances! Needless to say....we were pretty f'ed up!

While on the Conga line...there are other waiters waiting with paddles...wherein they would spank the girls passing through with it...crazy, crazy sH*t...

Our sugar daddy was there....and he bought me shots and drinks...I met some guy from Lithuania...who was a crew member at another Carnival cruise line...The Holiday...he had the prettiest accent ever...and he was actually pretty cute...

I danced on top of the chairs...on top of the stage...I danced everywhere...

Before we left, the waiters stamped my back with "Carlos and Charlie's" and we left pretty happy and stumbling all over the place...

So when we got back to the ship, I showered and was gonna go get ready to go to the club...but then we encountered on some drama...Rico and Luis (Esmer's husband) fought over some Cokes...Esmer and Luis fought because of the whole Rico and Luis situation...so Esmer took off...don't know where she went to....Nelson and Luis (Nelson's friend) fought...so...yeah...there were some drama....and here I was trying to fix things...I finally found everybody else in Esmer and Luis' room....where we hung out for a little bit and got some room service...and by the time we went back to the club, they were already playing the last song!

I went upstairs and ate with the DJ again....and this time he walked me to my room....and then I got changed and laid down next to my Puerto Rican...

He was hungry, so I walked with him back upstairs so he can eat some pizza....and then we went upstairs to the dock to look out at the ocean...it was almost nice...okay, so it was really nice...if only things were different...if only he was different...but I've learned that you can't get anything just by wishing it...and you can't change the way people are...

He's so not worth my time, and I know that...but why do I always end up in his bed when I so don't need to?!

Anyway...on to the next day...

Thursday - was our day at Calica....it was BEAUTIFUL! It's different from Cozumel, but each of them carried their own beauty...When we got off the boat at Cozumel, they had all kinds of shops...people buzzing everywhere...music playing....but Calica...it was really quiet...just the ocean...and gravel...and little souvenir stands....little....cozy....beautiful...

We took a Taxi to take us to Carmen del Playa...Nelson went with us this time...but Luis stayed behind. Supposedly he had a hangover...but I think it was more because of the little fight they had....

So we rented two jet ski's....I rode with Nelson....Peter rode with Luis (Esmer's husband)....Nelson was driving it all CRAZY! When we first got on, he was like, "You know how I used to do tricks with my bike?" And I said, "U-huh"....then he goes, "Well, we're fixing to do more tricks on this one. So hold on!" I was screaming the whole entire time! He would make sharp turns....make it jump...it was crazy! Peter and Luis must have fallen off about 10 times, but we didn't fall...not once...I was yelling at him and telling him I was gonna beat his a** when we got off those things...It was one of the scariest experiences I've ever been in....but I was also having the time of my life!

So then after that we looked at the different souvenir shops....got some sand in these little bottles and it said "Carmen del Playa" on them...I started getting tired afterwards and I made Nelson carry my beach bag for me...he wouldn't do it at first, cause it was Pink...but he did finally after I told him I was tired and it was too heavy...

I took a picture of him with it...too cute...couldn't let that opportunity pass....

This time we had to be back a little earlier....the boat stopped boarding people in at 3:30....so we went back at around 3...just to be on the safe side...

We ate upstairs...then showered....and took a nap.

Nelson played basketball with Luis(Esmer's husband)....and then went and laid beside me afterwards to take his nap as well....

Woke back up at 7 to get ready for the formal dinner....which was at 8....after I showered, I tried to wake Nelson up, but the dumb punk wouldn't get up!!! It finally took me, Luis (Esmer's husband :-) ) And Esmer to get him to get up....at that point he only had 15 minutes to get ready....and if you knew Nelson...that would be record time for him (pretty girl)....and I still had to iron his pants and shirt! Spoiled brat!

We finally made it there on time...had the dinner....where he had like 3 plates of the main course...this boy! I don't know where he puts it all in! Well....maybe I do (wink!)....

Anyway....we were too tired to go to the club that night...so after dinner, we rented a game of Scrabble...changed into some comfy clothes...and just ordered room service at Esmer and Luis' room and drank the bottles of liquor we bought from the ship's duty-free liquor store....Scrabble was fun...even though the guys cheated! (It was the guys against the girls)...on our scoreboards...we labeled theirs "Butt-heads" and they labeled us "Cry-babies"....

Yup...took pictures of that, too...

Then we went up to the dock and watched the ocean...all of us...and the sky....then went back to the room and watched some movies...and then went back to our designated rooms and fell asleep for the night...

Friday - was another fun day at the sea...woke up and got ready for lunch at the Horizon....we didn't wake up till about 12:30! After that....we changed into swimming suits and got on the slide in the main pool...All of us...and then the girls and I got some sun...then we went back in the room and chilled...got some more room service...took some shots off Beannie's Malibu and Luis' (Esmer's husband) crown....took a long nap....and got up and packed...since we had to have our stuff outside by 9....and then got ready for our last night at the club...

So Nelson pissed me off at the club...he's supposed to be my friend...I've known him for years....and then I find out that he lied to me...about having a girlfriend. He's had a girlfriend for about a month now, and not once did he mention this to me! I was pissed....and I didn't talk to him at all at the club after I found out....and the dumb girl Tamara tried to take over...we took a group picture wherein she sat on his lap. I work with this triflin' girl! Lucky for me she's not in my building...

Anyway...I danced with my sugar daddy and my DJ that night....lots of dancing going on...and ignored my dumb Puerto Rican...he tried to dance with me, but I didn't even turn around to look at him...I would look at him and roll my eyes...

Afterwards, we went and ate some pizza upstairs and our DJ met up with us...Nelson was acting like a jealous boyfriend! He would try to put his hand on my arm...claiming his territory...wouldn't leave us alone...and I think Luis (Esmer's husband) noticed what he was doing because he totally called him out...he goes, "Nelson, quit being jealous and let him talk to her!" Man...he got red and said, "F*ck you!"

Anyway...this boy would not quit until he made me laugh...he would try to steal my pizza....he would say, "Give me a kiss" and I would just look at him and say, "No" or "You're crazy!"....but he wouldn't stop!

We ended up going back in our room and having crazy make-up sex...

And I know...I shouldn't have....

So we didn't sleep at all that night...not a wink...and I knew that we had to leave the boat in the morning...as sad as it was to admit...

I left my car in Houston and Esmer and Luis still had plans of staying there at least till Sunday...Nelson and Luis were ready to go back to Dallas so he told me that they were just gonna ride with his mom's friend and the triflin' girl...which, I really don't care...she doesn't intimidate me...she just kind'a irritates me...

Tell me why this girl calls my room at 6 in the morning on Saturday asking for him?! And when I said, "I'm sorry, he stepped out for a little bit. May I take a message?" She says, "No...just have him come by our room when he steps in." She really does irritate me....really....

Anyway...Beannie and I went through Immigration at 7 in the morning...woke up everybody else...since they had to go through it, too....had breakfast at the Horizon....and then I had a surprise when we left the boat....

My stuff was missing!

And this lady asked, "What cabin were you staying at?" And I said, "U102"...then she says, "It's this way." When I went through customs...there goes my bag...and there goes this Customs officer going through Nelson's stuff...turns out they ran his records and found his warrant...so they held him there...

This boy is too daring for his own good! Even the officer was like, "Yeah...he didn't do anything bad, he just doesn't like authority very much." Nope...he doesn't. So why did he have a warrant? He was in his motorcycle...and decided to flick off a police car....evaded arrest...and wrecked into another police car doing it. Yes...dumb. And he is very dumb for doing that. I've told him so myself. And he knew he where he was headed. He knew he was going to face this sooner or later. He was going to turn himself in when he got back...after he took care of everything else...his apartment and such...he just didn't realize it was going to be on this day. Neither one of us did. They told him I was going to take his stuff....and he looked at me...with this "I'm sorry" look on his face...and it felt like my heart was fixing to break into a million pieces....

He probably won't be in there long...hopefully...it's not like he did anything bad...just something incredibly stupid....Luis said he's gonna call his mom....and he's supposed to be keeping me in the loop to see what happened....

My Puerto Rican...I can't help it...but I just miss him...and I wish I can turn the clock back one week and start all over again...

I miss bugging him and waking him up and talking smack to him...I actually miss everybody being together and partying together and just goofing around together...

Last week...I was on cloud nine...and today...along with the last couple of days...I've been having a hard time coming off of it....
