Beyond Ordinary

June 26, 2008

Looking back over the past few years, I couldn’t think of what I would like to tell a story about. I thought and thought and thought till finally I remember that over the past summer I was lucky enough to go on a 10 day cruise to Alaska with my family and best friend Valerie. We’ve been best friends since we were 5 listen to songs together like “Who Do You Think You Are” by Spice Girls to “I’m Just a Girl” by No Doubt. So when I found out we were going on a cruise together I couldn’t imagine anyone else I would rather spend 10 days with on a cruise.

We finally arrived to the port with our 5 bags and giant pillows. We checked in took our picture and with giant butterflies in our stomach walked up the ramp and into the giant cruise ship. We walked inside and couldn’t believe our eyes, we looked at each other and our jaws dropped. I felt like bursting out in song singing “No Such thing” By John Mayor. We asked our parents if we could explore the ship and with giant smiles they replied yes. We felt like detectives scouting ever room that we were a loud to go in. We found the night club, the casino, and then the buffet. All you can eat any time, my eyes opened wide and my mouth started watering. I could smell the delicious cheese pizza being made and the giant 4 layer chocolate cakes waiting for me to eat.

We kept exploring and meet a few friends. Those friends seemed to expand every night till we finally had a little crew of kids. Every night we all would meet up after dinner to run around and dance the night away. Thinking back on it now the song “Tick, Tick Boom” by The Hives would have fit in perfectly. The days went by fast over all the fun we were having. The last day came and we all got each other’s phone numbers and hugged goodbye. As we road home I listened to songs like “Nothing but a Good Time” by Poison and “Almost Home” by The Academy Is. Now days I rarely talk to the friends I meet on the cruise but when we do we can’t help but think back on how much fun we had on our 10 day adventure.
