First off, I cannot believe these things even float. I'm not good at science, but I think it has to do with displacement or something. I guess the one my parents are on has 3 pools in it. How do you make that float? I wonder how deep of water they have to have before they run aground. I did figure out they cruise at about 20-24 mph. It sounds like my parents made it to somewhere off the coast of Mexico. If you didn't know, they decided to take a cruise for their 30th Wedding Anniversary that we celebrated last May. This was the perfect time for them to get away and do it. I was a little unsure, since dad has a hard time making it to the Black Hills without getting car sick. But, they decided to go anyway. Today, I got an email from my Aunt Roxy, and she said I needed to contact my brother right away. Here was the conversation between me and Trent.
Me: Hey, Aunt Roxy told me to call and check to see if you got the email she sent last night.
Trent: No, I've not had a chance to check it, I'm still in North Dakota.
Me: Well, it looks like we're on our own, mom and dad got booted off the boat.
Trent: Oh? (with no emotion or concern)
Me: Yep, something about taking too many samples from the tequila factory, and causing a scene.
Trent: Oh? (with even less emotion or concern)
Me: Yeah, I guess there in some jail now in some little town in Mexico. We may not see them again.
Trent: Mmm, tough break.
Me: Yeah, anyhow, what kind of auto starter did we have in our vehicles?
Trent: Ultra-start.
Me: That's right! Ok thanks. Have a good one.
Trent: You too.
That's just like my brother. But, I hope mom and dad come home again some day. Looks like it may be more of a permanent vacation, but at least its warm. Before they left, I told them about one of my co-workers who told the story of some friends of hers that took a cruise, and their ship sank. Just up, and sank. They didn't appreciate the timing of that story too much.
