A Sailor Again
Sunday, Super Sunday
Day 1
Embarkation. Moms and Anita dropped BD and I off at the pier. The ship for the cruise is the Norwegian Pearl. A lovely week away from life ensues. Boarding was timely and without any foreseeable hitches. After settling down, BD and I went for some grub. We were not able to change, due to our luggage being checked and given back to us at 1900. Well after the eating, a spa tour was upon us. It was learned during this tour, that there are no, or not many, Americans as staff onboard the Norwegian Pearl. This new knowledge turned out to be a plus for me. So it was then decided, during the tour, which I would sign up for a Hot Stone Massage and Spinning for the next day, Monday. So a few hours later, back to the cabin and sent off the clothes for pressing, the pressing issue was…where is the Super Bowl Watch party going to be held?
Well, the television was found and BD and I sat down for the viewing. Not the best of seats, but they did well for what I had. Before the Super Bowl started, I decided to put down some money. The whole two weeks up to the big game, I decided I would not bet. If I had bet, I would put money on Giants minus 12. Well, it became time and I was sitting patiently. Decided to go against myself and put some money down. Went against myself twice, and put money on the PATS MINUS 7 for the first half. First half came and went, the PATS had their chances to go up 7, I would have been sitting great with getting my money back, but it wasn’t in the cards. Casino always wins, I should listen to myself but it is what it is. A loosing ticket. Damnations!! The Super Bowl turned out to be one for the ages. I had no allegiances, I would have been double as happy winning with my original bet of GIANTS PLUS 12 for the game, but it wasn’t meant to be. The Giants are Super Bowl winners!! Who would’ve though that one? Not me obviously.
During the game, BD decided to go on a ship excursion, roaming randomly, so she was not near me at the end of the game. I made some friends (with the help of tequilas and double 7 and 7s), which were sitting around me, and sat around well after the game chatting up the Giants fans. What a great game. Went to the evening buffet at the end of the ship and watched the sea before retiring back to the cabin.
