3-OH

Well I didn't think I would get another chance to blog...but here I sit at the airport with 2 hours left until my flight leaves. 

My big 3-OH was yesterday and I had such a good time.  I ate breakfast with my mom and then I headed up to the Serenity deck (adults only) and just chilled out for awhile.  

Then I made my way over to the slide and had a blast there for about an hour or so.  That slide was sooo cool.  I probably went down 200-250 times the whole time I was on the ship.  

I ordered my first bucket of beer around 11 am and the drinking was on!!!  Only sucky part - buckets are only 4 beers and almost $25!!!  Lol - but you only turn 30 once.  

My mom bought my next bucket and then when the waiter brought it he had another in tow from a fellow brother (Mason) that I had met earlier in the week!  Thanks again mom and Al for the inebriation assistance!!!  

So I was nice and toasty by the time Lip Ring found me on the deck.  We just lounged around and soaked up the sun.  About 2:30 my mom decided she was going inside for awhile and she gave us her hammock.  That was cool, just swinging, drinking, and soaking up the sun.  I posted a good pic on my face book that you should check out!  ;-)

Our final singles group function was at 7 for an hour of farewells, e-mail exchanges, and kareokee!  I sang a bunch of songs this trip.  One night was in front of the most people I ever had before - probably 200!  That was a little nerve racking!  ;-)

PThe rest of the night we just hung out on the main deck and chillaxed.  I was told by some other cruisers that this is the most senior citizens they had ever seen on one cruise!  And the singles group was a bust for me...most were older than my mother AND it's sad when my mom is one of the better looking women!  ;-)  I'm really thankful to have met Lip Ring -as was she because she also felt like we were on a retirement cruise!  LOL

BUT - I did meet lots of nice people!!!  I met 4 brothers - Al, Jeff, and Sunny from NC and Greg from Missori.  My slide partner most of the trip - Steve was a cool guy from Wisconsin.  Harvey and his wife was a very nice couple from Winsor - told me he could get me a great rate if I ever made it back up to Motor City casino to play.  Plus all the singles group folks - Harvey, Sam, Lyn, Seb, Daniel, Brooke, Valerie (12-4), Joe, Kevin, and so many more.  I'm sure I'm leaving many out of my list.  

Oh - and Lip Ring and her mother Colleen from Long Island.  Can you believe they actually thought I was a NICE guy?  Lol - I guess compared to the Long Island guys I am.  Maybe I should move there!  ;-)  Give those guys some competition!  LMAO

So needless to say this won't be my last cruise.  I may start looking at the 20's/30's cruises that the singles group has in April.  BUT that just means I would have to focus on staying single until then!  ;-)  It's harder than you would think!!!  ;-)

Well, back to the real world tomorrow.  I think I really need to come up with some big idea or hit the lottery!  I wanna cruise permanently!  ;-)

Hope you all enjoyed following my blogs this past week!!!
