I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!! wink

So I'm going to be all OCD about it and instead of swamping this journal with random stories, I'm going to organize it by day!

Wed., the 4th

I got up at 5:00 AM to catch a plane at 7:00 AM at the airport with my Giril Scout troop. It wasn't so bad, actually, going through security. My leader told me what to do and expect ahead of time, so I was ready. 3nodding Then, my first plane ride. Oh my GAAAAAWD, I love flying. eek heart It was AMAZING at takeoff. I was staring out the window the whole time. And listening to Dane Cook with Casey on Becca's iPod. xd

When we landed in Orlando, it was around 9:00 AM. We got driven to our hotel by its shuttle bus and got our rooms, settled in and went for a swim in the pool. Then it started raining, so we had to go back inside and shower. sweatdrop We had nothing to do for the rest of the day, so we went to... *drumroll*

The Florida Mall.

And God was it awesome. whee We wandered aimlessly for hours. I drug everyone into Hot Topic and Walden's and Casey and Corey dragged me into Holister. I have never seen so many people wearing the same brand at the same time. eek *shiver* All of the clothes were so frickin' tiny, I felt so out of place being the body type I am... But it was really dark in there! I could barely see! >_<

Eventually, we had to leave, but not before we went inside the candy store! heart Alex and Becca bought a ten pound bag of orange, pink, and blue M&M's. And everyone else bought chocolate, gummi bears, and Swedish Fish. I actually didn't buy anything... So we went back to the hotel and went to bed.

Thurs., the 5th

Another travel day! We got a taxi service to take us to Cape Canaveral (sp?) and boarded our cruise ship. Its name is Carnival "Sensation". Carnival being the cruise line and Sensation being the actual name of the ship. SO going inside the ship I go "Oh my God, it's like we're in Vegas!". Everything was covered in neon lights. There were glowing glass elevators. The main room was incircled by the different levels of the boat. But the best part was the name of the rooms. Every night we ate in the Ecstacy Dining Hall. xd You don't know how quickly I jumped on that one...! All the places were named after sensations! It was hilarious!

So we took our stuff to our two little cabins and settled in. Then we all ran up on deck to see our ship launch out of port. There was a Disney cruise ship next to us and it was bigger than our boat. *pouts* xd

Leaving was weird. At first there was this jerk and then we were inching along like a snail. For like an hour. Then, we jerked again and went twice as fast! While we were waiting to be let into the dining room, you could actually see all the people swaying in place with the boat's motion. I couldn't help but to snicker. whee

For diner I had lobster. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD lobster. heart It was fantastic...!

Best part! After diner, there was this show called Far From Over. It was all 80's music. whee There were dancers, male and female, and two singers, male and female, and they did songs that were really popular in the 80's. I knew them all. heart I don't care what you say, I'm an 80's child! xd

Then myself, Corey, Casey, and Jennifer ran around the ship and goofed off on the top decks. We started doing yoga on the track, it wasn't pretty. And some Asian couple nearly ran us over, like, ten times. xd

We went to bed late. sweatdrop

To be continued because I have homework...
