Seas are fairly choppy today and it’s hard to believe that anything other than a category 5 hurricane would actually move the behemoth that we’re inhabiting; and yet the boat rocks enough for most guests and your truly to occasionally stumble and appear drunk even if we’re not.
Shareen and I had an early wake up today and had our hair washed and cut.
After our day at the spa we proceeded to the jogging track where w walked 2km or 12 laps around the jogging track while ogling some American spring break bikinis. Read the rest of this entry »

Well it didn’t take too long to figure out that Key West is the “happiest” place in America. Within two blocks of getting off the trolley which delivered us from the boat (security BS won’t let us walk into town from the boat, we had to take a “happy” little train) we noticed posters with either naked men and/or wimin (mostly men) hugging or noticed a “clothing optional” bar.
We got dropped off in Mallory Square which is pretty much the heart/core of Key West; Key West is pretty much like Banff except for the fact that they’ve maintained strict architectural controls. All the houses look like the’re either turn of the century or sixty years old, the only modern building is the court house and the Sheriff’s building. The vegetation is spectacular and controls the lay of the land and each house or lot. Read the rest of this entry »

Well we got up around 8 (EST from now on) as we’re getting accustomed to and as usual when traveling is involved Shareen started packing in a panic (wasn’t too bad but I enjoy making her sound crazy). The day was shaping up nice and sunny with the expected temperature in the mid 70s. Read the rest of this entry »

I won’t bore anyone with the details of our flight other than to say a direct flight from Calgary to Orlando beats stopping in that poophole of the universe known as Toronto. Read the rest of this entry »

Well I went to moms for lunch yesterday (after hauling two whining kids for two hours at the local ski slope) and after a feast of ham, salad, and eggs mayonaise my step dad brought out these little deep orange skinned mandarins. I asked my step dad what they were and he told me we were about to eat Clementine oranges.
At first I didn’t think much of them as I expected them to be more seed than orange, but after swiping a few slices from my wife it turns out that these babies are very sweet, a little tart, and with practically no seeds (I opened about three and didn’t find one seed).
Try them out, I’m sure you’ll like them.
