Greetings From the Land Very Recently Dominated by Arlene

Well, i'll be honest, i felt kind of bad leaving home at 0445 this morning (yeah thats AM) without blogging or really sending any electronic messages at all. So here i am in the ramada inn in Miami Florida with free high speed internet access. What else am i supposed to do?

Flights went well today, no real delays. Grandma was freaking about about the bad weather when we arrived...hillarious. Imagine a late 70s puerto rican with a significant accent pacing and muttering about Tropical Storm Arlrene. Classic stuff really. But we don;t care, we jsut pester her, and really, she kind of deserves it. She htinks she knows more about everythign than anyone, so naturally, my dad has to put her in her place sometimes, but in ways that only we understand. For example, grandma doesnt want lots of people at her house (why i am here at the ramada) but at the same time she seems upset that those of us at the hotel won't be eating all the food she purchased for us. So i tell her that all ten of us are just gunna camp out in her room. She has a cow...awesome. You can never do anything right around grandma...it really kind of rocks.

I got security checked at the airport today. It was fun, i got the ole "if u feel uncomfortable with me patting you down at any time, just tell me and we can go into a private area." Now if you felt uncomfortable, would u want to go into a private room with the person? I don't know the breakdown, but i am guessing that lots more people get molested in private rooms than in the middle of the airport.

Tomorrow we board the ship at 2ish (pm...thankfully). Before that we may go ride a bike trail with alligators, but more likely we will jsut sleep in...but alligators are cool (i've done it before, yeah i;m hardcore). I;m hoping to see some sweet stuff while scuba diving. I have my sights set on a Reef Shark, they are sweet looking and kinda freaky, but i ain't skerred :). I'm outta here. Prolly won;t post til next week, but hey, u never know what surprises may come...Bon Voyage...

(i guess you should be saying that to me...oh well...don;t feel like editing hehe)

why would you want him to have a good cow? is there something appealing about that? or is it something more? ... you might tell him to have a nice vacaciones, but it would be improper to allow people to think that thomas is a bovine, though he may eat like one sometimes.
