Spring Break, Part I

What started off as one of the most beautiful road trips of my life ended up as one of the best weeks imaginable. The 16 hour drive flew by (our speedometer agreed--we were indeed flying through those southern highways). Florida welcomed us with open arms, or open roadside stands of fresh squeezed orange juice to be specific. The Welcome Center was a riot and we nearly had to fight off five-year-old tourists for the chance to pose in the super-cute surfer boy and southern belle photos. Worth it.

The first day on the boat was gloriously sunny and a dreamy 75 degrees; the first night was, well, delightfully tacky. From the neon accents to the light-up elevators, the Carnival Cruiseline sure likes things flashy. During the day, it was like I was relaxing in a tropical resort. At night, the ship turned into Las Vegas-in-the-middle-of-the-Atlantic, complete with casinos, comedy shows, and the Cupid Shuffle playing hourly.

One night of karaoke and dancing in the "Diamond Disco" was enough for us, and we spent most of the rest of our nights taking in the unbelievable sunsets and glittery ocean waves on the upper deck.

Part two to come soon, and in the meantime, click through my (very first ever) picture album on Facebook.

Cruise, Day 5

Since today is the last day on board, the reality of returning to school and term papers and end-of-the-year assignments is likely settling in. Knowing myself, I will spend much of my time by the pool, Moleskine in hand, making lists of all the things I need to do when I get back. But at least I'll be getting some tropical sun while stressing out?

I still have another 16 hour drive to go before I arrive back to Missouri, which gives me plenty of time to re-read Mrs. Dalloway, finish A Farewell to Arms, and draft a proposal for my final lit research paper. Oh, and most importantly, study this month's GQ, which has my love Shia on the cover.
day: cover up, Target. bikini, Liberty of London. night: bubble skirt dress, Gap. necklaces, J. Crew. black round-toe heels, Nine West (you'll have to use your imagination!).

Cruise, Day 4

I've never been to the Bahamas before, but all of the girls I'm with talked about Atlantis nonstop prior to the trip, so I'm excited by association. The boat is docked until 10 p.m. so I would imagine we'll be beach-, bar- and shop-hopping all day long. Because of the later-than-usual off-boat adventure, there won't be a nighttime outfit change, so I'll be bringing along my blue cardigan or denim jacket.

Apparently tons of movies and TV shows have been filmed at the resort, like Ugly Betty, Friends, and, most importantly to me, the under-appreciated Mary Kate and Ashley gem Holiday In The Sun. My twelve-year0old self would be jumping up and down at this opportunity. Who am I kidding? I'll probably be jumping up and down, too.
