Best day of my life
What was the best day of your life? What made it the best day? I've decided to write mine down so I'll have it somewhere when my mind goes.
First, the best day of my life was full, just full of activity. It started around 7 am off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, aboard the Celebrity Mercury. I'd been dancing at the Navigator club until past midnight the night before, so it was tough getting my lazy bones outta bed. I knew that breakfast was to be served during my excursion, but I wanted to get some bacon and eggs to hold me over until lunch just in case the excursion food wasn't up to snuff. I went to the buffet and filled a small plate with yummies and a mug-o-coffee. I sat at a window overlooking the coastline of the Mexican Riviera and had some quite time.
Then, it was off to the excursion aboard the Pirate Ship Marigalante. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but as we got closer and closer to the "ship" it was clear that this thing was unique. We all piled in and one of the deckhands was walking down the aisles of passengers popping dramamine into people's mouths without even asking. Sort of a "Trust me, I know you'll need this" action as he made his way around the deck of the ship. There was another buffet breakfast, but while it was acceptable, it wasn't as good as the food on the Mercury. We made our way around the ship looking at all the different things there were to see. Apparently, this ship was an exact replica of one of Columbus' ships.
Anyway, as soon as we pulled the anchor up, the festivities began.
