Day 9 on the Cruise1

  Hey guys ! How are you? I am good. The pirates party was awesome!(argh) They showed Pirates in the Caribbean on the HUGE Ariel view t.v.Oh and snorkeling was a flop because first I got water in the snorkel because the waves were huge and I couldn’t blow the water out . Then I scared  because I couldn’t breath.There were tons of fish of all different  colors.But I got out of the water and back on the catamaran and waited with my mom for the rest of the snorkelers to finnish.When the rest of the people finnished  the catamaran crew took us to a beach party. I spent a Half an hour collecting shells for everyone.( I had anough so that everyone in 6H could have 2 or 3 shells each.) I had them all on a picnic tabel when someone said we couldn’t bring them back. I went and asked a man from the islandIf I could bring home the shells and he said no because they are part of the marine park and the park is trying to rebuild the coral that is detereoratting.(see my artical on coral reefs.) So I had to put them all back( BUMMER!)(all my hard work for nothing!, grr,but the coral reefs are in danger ) Oh well. Maybe I can get some in Castaway Cay tomorrow. Gotta go. by.P.S today was a day at sea.

FRIDAY:    

Hey guys I’m in Castaway Cay. Here are a few pics. of the beautiful island.

This is the boat and the Flying Dutchman from Pirates of the Carribbean 2 Deadmans Chest. It is the real thing. 

 I went swimming and snorkeling a lot today.  I even swam and snorkeled with sting rays.  It was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We actually touched and fed the sting rays.  They clip off the barbs at the end of the tail so they will not sting the swimmers.  We learned that the sting rays only sting people in a defensive manuever.  I saw many types of fish in bright, vibrant and beautiful colors.  I will probably not be able to write on my blog tomorrow and Sunday because we will be flying home.  I will see you on Monday with my tan.

Day 6 and 7on the Disney Cruise1

Hey it’s me ,(you know who)                Yesterday the ship docked in the Grand Cayman Islands.  We have visited this island before so we decided to stay on the boat and do HOMEWORK!!!!!  and I swam and had ice cream and pizza and tanned.  I have met some nice kids and I played a lot of ping pong. 

They had a huge pool party called Mouse 2o - it was a blast.  I got a air brush tatoo on my leg and so did my MOM!!!!   The water is very clear and blue!

The waves were really big last night, the boat was rocking a lot.  

 Wednesday: -

Today, we will get off in Cozumel Mexico.  We watched the ship dock and there were 7 other cruise liners  surrounding us in port.  Tonight is Pirate Night and I will be dressing up as a pirate with a pirate hat, hoop earrings and an eye patch.  We will be watching pirates of the Carribean - Dead Man’s Chest on the huge, super huge outdoor monitor screen that is as big as the smokestack. I tried to find pictures in google, however, the changes from the “dry docking” of the Magic are not available.  I will take a picture and I will bring it to class.

I will write about snorkeling when I come back from Cozumel.  I hope you do not have too much snow. 

P.S how was the chorus concert?

All Aboard Part II

I am on the Disney Cruise. It is really warm , my room is on deck 8, we have a room with a balcony. I love to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise and the moon rise at night.

Bon voyage!

We did not get leave the port on time because the Captain made a wise decision to delay the trip because 28 passengers were delayed due to the bad weather in the midwest and northeast. We actually left at 7:00 pm but we had the big party at 5:00 pm anyway.

We met our waiters at dinner, Plumen from Bulgaria and Marco from the Peru and Hemant from India. (HE MAN). We will arrive in Key West in the morning. I say a Dolphin in the water this morning. Later that day, we arrived in Key West and it was not very interesting except for the Butterfly Sanctuary and Museum. Key West has chickens running around loose everywhere. We went to the Southern most point of the United States and took pictures.

Day 1,Thursday night 11-30-06 and Friday Dec.1-06Comments Off

   Day 1 . hey class ,it’s me.(emilee)Last night I got to the hotel in Boston about 11:30 ish. There were lots of detours due to construction. then my mom,brother,and I got up at 4:27a.m.( way to early!!!!!!) We boarded the plane around 6:30 a.m.  It was connecting flight from Boston to Baltimore/Washington, to Orlando. I was sooooooooooo tired. We got to Florida around 1:30pm.   We rented a very small rental car from the airport to find a hotel for overnight.  I swear nobody knows how to get anywhere because many of the people who work for the hotels are not from florida.  There are barely any road signs so we drove everywhere in the small rental car.  We found a hotel and stayed overnight.  It 85 degrees at 8:00 p.m.  Saturday is when we will get on the boat.
