Trip!!!

This was our waiter Marcos.

This was our friend Meemeashia.

This was our assistant waiter Pavol

WOW!!! That is all I can say. I left on a plane to L.A. on Dec. 17th, and then got on a plane to Miami (that took 4 hours), then from Miami I flew to San Juan Puerto Rico. We got there on the 18th, and I left on a cruise around the Caribbean. It was so fun. The first day was at St. Thomas, which is known for its shopping. Also Jared is able to drink alcohol and gamble in the Caribbean because he is 18. Every night we had a 3 course dinner & I gained a little weight. The next day was St. Martin which is the smallest island to share two country's (French and Dutch) we stayed on the Dutch side and I liked this island even more than the last. That night was one of the fancy nights at dinner and we had a lot of fun. The next day was Antigua, where our family split up. Dad and Jared went to a museum and Mom and I went shopping. St. Lucia was awesome, it was pouring rain outside so we took a tour in a taxi where we went up a super steep hill and saw banana plantations and a real live pig, it was so green there! In Grenada we walked around the spice places because Grenada is known for its spices. At the fancy dinner that night I had four sorbets, one was mine, one was Jared's, and two of them Meemeashia brought me. Our last stop was Barbados where we had flying fish burgers. I am happy to be going back home to Fresno because I miss my friends, but I'm also sad because I made friends with the workers on the ship. Like our waiter Marcos he was so nice he taught me how to make a shoe and a mouse out of a cloth napkin he was awesome. He was so kind to me he joked all the time and, of course he gave me a hug at the end of the trip. I wish that I was still able to talk to him because he was such a good spirit! We also had an assistant waiter Pavol, he was also very kind to us and joked around with us and of course he gave me a hug at the end of our trip. And there was also Meemeashia this was her second cruise (working on the ship) and our family made friends with her on the first day, and then we remembered her the next time we saw her, and after that she basically adopted us. At dinner she would come and wait on us, even though we weren't in her section, she is amazing (along with Marcos and Pavol). She wants to be a model, and let me tell you she can do it because she is as skinny as a toothpick. All in all I had a lot of fun and I wish that either I was back on the cruise and had all of you there too, or that Marcos, Pavol, and Meemeashia were here with me.      ~Audra
