Our last stop was
Grand Turks island. Another beautiful island and our plan was to be beach bums.
I did attempt to do some shopping there but I didn’t find anything worth
purchasing. We only had a few hours of time to enjoy the island so we found a
spot on the beach far from the crowd and hung out in the water. *Scott was once
again snorkeling in the deep end. I couldn’t follow him and it made me a little
upset. I wanted to ride his back and hang on him in the water. I got a little
lonely when *K and *Lonely Boy was hugged up most of the time. After a while I
was able to convince *Scott to come with me to get food. We wandered into a hut
on the beach that advertised conch fritters and jerk pork. We tried both and I
felt like we were conned when it came time to pay. After spending nearly an
hour talking to the owner he charged us $26 for 2 plates of food, a bottle of
water, and a canned soda. I was fine with that until *Scott gave him $40 cash
and he gave $8 in change. Let’s do the math on that people (40-26= 14 ). You
got that right. I couldn’t believe *Scott let it slide. I wanted to chop that
owner up. He didn’t even give us a chance to tip. *Scott had the nerve to want
to go back there to get another plate. Not on my watch!
Fast forward to
the next day at sea which turned out to be a fun afternoon with *K. After
sleeping in for a while us girls decided to hit the hot tub to talk and get
away from the guys. Of course I must keep that part of the conversation off my
blog. Sorry. That wasn’t even the juicy part. We noticed from the deck we were
on that the guys went to play mini golf. So we went to our rooms got dressed
and went to the golf area. They were out of balls, which we said was fine
because we expected our boyfriends to have some. Just our luck, they were not
there. We walked all around the course until a couple of guys stopped us and
asked if we could join their game. They said “you look a little lost and only
hot girls get lost” or something rather silly. I told them we were looking for
our significant others and the asked us to play still. So *K and I decided what
the hell. It turned out to be the hot white guy in the club we met a few nights
before. We were then joined by 5 of their friends and we turned into a game for
drinks. We had a blast joking around we these guys. In the end there was a tie
with 3 groups and *K and I lost. So the guys invited us to play dodge ball to
for the tiebreaker. Of course I am not down for getting beat down so we
declined. *K and I went wandering around the ship until we found *Scott and
*lonely boy at the casino. We only stayed for a moment before we gave each
other a “let’s get out of here” look. He ditched them and headed for the
elevator to watch the other guys play dodge ball. *Scott came running behind us
asking where we were headed. Silence. He said “what are you guys up to… looks
like something sneaky”. I convinced him that it was nothing and we were on our
way. The guys ended up losing and no drinks were bought but it was fun. On the
final day of the trip the only thing *Scott and I were looking forward to was
seeing a band play. We had watched them nearly every night. Their name is True
Identity, a Filipino cover band and they are AH-MAY-ZING!
The day was a
blur up until they played.
Overall, *Scott
and I had an amazing time together. I can’t wait until we plan our next
vacation.
