The cruise ship docked in Montego Bay this morning and we wasted no time hitting the beach. I’ve spent the past few days getting acquainted with the layout of the Carnival Conquest, and I’m fully prepared to defend the vessel from disgruntled Navy Seals and Special Forces commandos who take over the ship (like in Under Seige or Speed 2). While everyone else was sipping pina coladas I’ve been climbing through miles of air conditioning ducts and practicing maneuvering the ship as if it were flipped over. I think it’ll all pay off.
Other than that, I’ve been to the beach, some shops, and Margaritaville (where all shakers of salt are firmly glued to the table).

I expect you and your wife to come home wearing the touristy Bo Derek braids.
We’re headed to Montego Bay, or very near there for our honeymoon. How was it?
You’re the only 30-something I know who brings toys on vacation. Awesome.
@Allen – so many people wanted to braid our daughter’s hair. I probably should have gotten mine done, so that people would quit asking if I was related to Danny Gokey from American Idol.
@Stone – That’s how I roll. Pockets full of gadgets and a bag full of toys.
@Pete – It’s tropical and lovely. The beaches are the most pristine and amazing water i’ve ever set foot in. However, parts of the town seemed very sketchy and kinda “date rapey”. You will have people in your face constantly trying to sell you something or take you on a tour somewhere. You can pretty much always drive the price down on everything…usually about 75% if you’re a real dick about it.
Cool. I better start practicing my bartering skills, and being a dick skills.
