Time to get back on the horse

Sorry all, I have been out of sync since coming back from vacation, and have been robbing you of your daily blog fix. It has been quite some time since I have blogged. 

I am sure you are all

 pleased to know that I went to paradise for 10 days, and had a blast. I went on the world's largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. It was a beautiful ship, and the experience was unbelievable. If anyone is considering a cruise, I highly recommend Royal Caribbean.

I had stops in San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Labadee (which is a private resort owned by Royal Caribbean on Haiti). I loved every destination, but I would have to say Labadee or St. Thomas were my favorites. I went to a top ten rated beach in the world, Margen Beach, and Blackbeard's castle at St. Thomas. On Labadee, I went ziplining, which actually went over a cove, and coral reef. 

I did stay a day and a half in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and it was rather eventful. Our one full day we went to the Everglades and did an airboat tour. Also, they had a sort of reptile zoo (I say sort of cause there were these random chickens and peacocks) and there was a chance to hold an baby alligator. I really wanted to hold one of them, but our shuttle came early and we had to go before I could get the opportunity. But this jerk family was in our shuttle, and they wanted to go to this thing called Billie's Swamp Safari. Little did we know that it would take 2 and a half hours out of our day because it turns out that it is a long way from where we were. The jerks knew where it was, and when we all realized, they should have come to the knowledge on how rude they were acting. After all this, we ended up going to Sawgrass Mall. We stayed there for approximately 2 hours and then called the shuttle to pick us up. After waiting another hour for it, we phoned and it turns out it broke down, so we got a cab (the hotel was paying for it). This cab almost killed us all. Going 100 mph in a 35 zone, he had to slam on the brakes and swerve into another lane in order to miss a left turning vehicle. But I am safe and sound, and unfortunately home.
