The "License Plate/Bathroom Bowl" Story
It was an ordinary day. We had been on the ship for 4 days already. Carol and I and our friends Jere and "Just Sue" were on a Western Caribbean cruise. Our first cruise. And may I say our last! I was so afraid that I was going to be sick that I over-medicated myself. I had the wrist band, the patch behind the ear, and the Bodine tablets. I kind of remembering using them all at once. I was like a walking Zombie! But it worked. I don't remember getting sick one time, but then I also don't remember much of what happened on the ship. I do remember some of what happened on our first stop in Belize. We went to the zoo? On our way back to the ship we stopped by the waterfront for shopping and drinks. I collect license plates for my Tiki Bar back home so I thought I would try to find a Belize plate. I asked a questionable islander if he knew where I could get a license plate for $10 and he said he would be right back. He went behind the shop and returned a few minutes later with a license plate. Oh well! I had my souvenir. Fun stop! Our second stop was on Costa Maya where we went to the Mayan Ruins. Took some great photos there, but what I do remember the most was the beautiful hand-painted si
nks they had in their open-air market by the dock. We decided to buy 2 of them for our bathroom remodel we agreed to do when we got home. I paid and asked to have them shipped back home. No can do! We had to take them with us if we wanted them. They did wrap them very well with rope handles. I'm sure they did this many times before. After stops at the Cayman Islands and Cozumel we headed back to Miami. Upon return we had to go through customs wh
en we left the ship. After going through the Xray unit we were asked "What are in the packages". We told them bathroom sinks. "What's the hole for in the bottom?" So the water can go out we told them. Duh! And they just fit in the overhead compartment. Every day when I brush my teeth I try to remember our fun trip to the Western Caribbean. Just another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
