It’s day 3 here. Day 2 was somewhat better, and tonight should kick ass. I’ll be going Horseback riding through the Rain Forest in Puerto Rico at night… I’m really looking foward to it.

People ask me if I’m having a good time, and I am, though there’s a lot of “down” time. I’m here with my family, and I find my self fending for myself most of the time. Those who know me, know that I’m shy and am not very good at approaching others, so I spend most of my evenings either with my family or sitting alone in the clubs and bars on the ship. I’d love to just go out on the dance floor, but without friends and a lot of alcohol (Theres plenty of alcohol, but thats just not enough) I am still very self-concious.

The next few days will be spent sightseeing and having fun on the islands. I’m sugned up for mini-boats in St. Maarten and 4×4 off-roading in St. Thomas….I may even try to get some geocaching done while down here, though in the areas I’ll be at there’s only 20 caches…We’ll see. I’d like to get one in this week if possible.

Before I go, I should mention…

1. The slot machines here dont pay crap, however I won some money on the video poker machines 🙂

2. Downloading 900 emails on a less than speedy internet connection SUCKS. lol

It’s nearing the end of the first day. I’m still gonna wander around a bit and see if there’s any decent nightlife on this boat 😉 So far, The piano bar seems to be the most hopping place… Like the whole boat went to sleep after dinner…

so far I’ve had fun, but I’m quite unimpressed. There’s a whole lot of stuff going on, but nothin’ super…. Dinner was ok, but we had the worst waiter (and may have him for the rest of the trip. I didn’t, but 3 people in our group sent stuff back because it was either prepared wrong, cold, or both… yes both…

I’m also extremely exhausted… I got only 3 hours of sleep last night, so I’ll probably be more myself tomorrow. There’s so many people on board… Old, Young, and everywhere in between. Plenty of attractive women, but most seem taken, and I am still a wuss and can’t approach the others… I need to find some activities I can do on my own to start socializing a bit more.

Well, there’s some music playin’ next door and I’m gonna check it out after I check my email and stuff 🙂

BTW… $55 for 100 minutes on access isn’t bad? ROFL… ACK!

When I go away for 2 or 3 days, I have a tendancy to overpack… I mean EVERYTHING…. Too much clothes, Too many “Gadgets” and “Gizmos”….. Now, this is the first time I’m going away for 7 days…. I feel like I need a small jet just to carry all my stuff. 🙂 What should I be without?

I need clothes….7 T-Shirts, 7 Dress Shirts, 7 pairs of Jeans, 7 Slacks, do I want closer to 7 pairs of underwear or 14? 🙂 Do I own 14 pairs of underwear? I usually have to do a wash every week and a half. I’m sure I have 10 pairs, but is that enough? It’s hot down there. My balls may sweat a lot. rofl….

What about gadgets? Computer(s?), Electronic Toys, Cameras, What to bring?

Can’t bring “The Hammer”…. a.k.a. the ($1000) camcorder that I tripped over and smashed into the ground lens first cracking the lens, and the casing! (Damnit!!!!!!)

What movies should I bring? What books….

Sooo much packing to do and certainly NOT enough time!

Tomorrow’s a busy day! 1. Filling out paperwork for my new job. 2. Working for KJOY. 3. Last minute emergency shopping for stuff I couldn’t find in the laundry or just got too lazy. 4. If I have time, ,bringing in my camcorder for repair.

When do I pack? When do I prepare? When do I sleep!!!!!!!!!

I finally did it! I am no longer an employee of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc….. I am no longer the manager of a department severely understaffed and overworked. I no longer have to put up with the lack of respect granted by the coprporate pigs in the largest discount retailer in the world.

I am free of Wal-Mart.
