The trip began with the plane ride out. I was plopped between Little Miss Sarah and a man on the larger side who came to be known as Sir Hairy Arms in my book. He conked out just after take off, with a successful takeover of the armrest and beyond, and the lovely large curly hairs on his arm started their trek to annoy me, which as most of you know takes little to no effort.
It was a mix of sunshine and rain, but always hot (and I was so acclimated to the warm climate that I have spent the entire day walking around in shorts, a t-shirt, socks, and a blanket due to the chilly sensation that Michigan is compared to the Keys)! We had a couple of power outages to add some excitement into the swing of things, which led to games of Quiddler by emergency light...speaking of which, somehow, someway, I beat Momma Jann in a game of Quiddler! The winning combination of "claw me thin boy" shot my score through the roof toward victory! Amazing. I can quite honestly say that I never saw that one coming!
Delicious food was consumed throughout the week (naturally)...thanks to all our friends from under the sea. Poppa Joel caught some largo dolphin for dinner one night...tres delicioso. I don't even know what language that is, but it's totally fine. Pretty sure it's Spench...mmm no I like Franish better. See if you can figure that one out...I do hope you can because otherwise, we may or may not be able to continue life as we know it...whhhhat am I saying.
Time out on the boat was glorious! Minus the fact that we were assaulted by the sun...oops...but it was sweet! The ride out was roller coaster-esque, and we only had to stop once for a pee break in the middle of the ocean to avoid a potential accident of the teensing variety. The whole attempt at catching a fish was kind of a failure...but I did see a big fatty leap out of the waves which was cool, a bunch of cool fish pointed out by Captain Joel, and we witnessed some dolphins frolicking among the deep blue...well, it wasn't that deep where we were at that point, but that's okay.
A Few Key Observations (haha)...and such:
- Nearly everyone in the Keys has a dog. Unreal.
- Some even get to travel in strollers...or the designated shopping carts that are provided
- Mullets aplenty. So great.
- Iguanas can swim, but we've been over that already. So gross.
- It is in fact possible to overeat every single night at dinner.
- The winner of the Key Lime Pie Contest this year was Islamorada Fish Co. Top notch cashew crust really brought it to a whole new level.
- Barbie can be beat, at least when it comes to solitaire.
- Gingerly touching tips is a necessity in life.
- Geckos are extremely elusive creatures. In other words, they're just way too fast to catch.
- Dawn and her old lady friends are all loud talkers.
- Mecca still is a sight to see. And a beautiful one at that.
- Pretty much every radio station plays oldies tunes. So solid.
- The WGs rock.
Well. I suppose I should probably go eat dinner or do something productive...but who are we kidding, I have nothing that needs to get done! Ahhh summer life. Simply greatness in a season.
