Guess I live here now
The next day, Sara had arranged a full day to celebrate both of our birthdays since it was kinda the midway point between both of ours.
To this end, we started off with a brunch with bottomless cocktails at the steakhouse on the ship.
She even booked the nicest table at the rear overlooking the ocean – the view was gorgeous.
The view of the water was nice too.
I may have had a bit too much to drink.
Me: I almost dropped my room key into the urinal. BUT, my lightning fast 52-year-old reflexes caught it!
Her: (rolls eyes) You’re like a week from 53. Can you imagine the conversation with the ship staff if you didn’t catch it?
Me: If I didn’t catch it, I wasn’t gonna fish it out. I’d just be, “Welp, I guess I live here now.”
We had such a good meal that we ended up going back there again for dinner where I had lamb chops, a filet, flank steak, and a ton of sides.
This is the before shot.
This was the after.
Her: I can’t believe you ate all that.
Me: OMG, that was a lot even for me.
We had to walk it off so we went around the ship checking out various events and such.
Later on that night was Virgin’s Red Night, which is their big shindig and the entire ship is in red.
Sara even got her face done by some people on the ship.
It was a pretty fun night with copious amounts of alcohol.
The next day, the weather was finally warm(ish) enough for us to kinda go out onto the balcony…
…and do some general stupid human tricks.
But it was also cold enough that we were pretty much the only people dumb enough to be outside at all.
This is us on The Net, which is essentially netting a few stories over the water – it woulda been super cool in the Caribbean.
We are freezing in the video below.
That night, we had our final dinner on the ship, which was at their Mexican restaurant…
…and Sara had ordered another meal with unlimited drinks.
Sara: (to waitress) But no mezcal.
Me: Or tequila.
Sara: Definitely not. Just put in rum instead.
Waitress: OK, not a problem!
We ate until I couldn’t move.
But Sara had one last surprise, which was a cake for the two of us.
The next morning, we got up and I had my last first brekkie of salmon and avocados…
…and my last second brekkie of an acai bowl.
After that, our trip to Bermuda Canada was done.
Me: OK, so it wasn’t a Caribbean vacation, but it was still nice and the ship was gorgeous.
Her: True. And I think it’s the best food I’ve ever had on a ship.
Me: Agreed – and we had each other, so that made it great and I had a good time.
Her: (laughing) OK.
Location: yesterday, all over Queens and Brooklyn – Woodhaven, Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Brooklyn Manor, Cypress Hills, etc.
Mood: busy, busy, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz
Music: lost within the darkness, but then I found her (Spotify)
