(From this point on, this is a character journal for
boatship )
I am
such an idiot sometimes.
I know it's turned out okay for now, as far as I can see, but I still think it was probably a massive lapse of judgment on my part to actually take a boat trip that I only found out about thanks to getting a ticket in my Honey Nut Cheerios last week. It's probably just a sign of how badly I need a vacation that I jumped at the idea.
The room is nice, and we have Wi-Fi (obviously- I couldn't even tell you where we are at this point, but it's not as though the ocean has an infrastructure). When we did the lifeboat rehearsal this morning, the ship's crew took care of all the herding people onto the right decks, but I took note of where everything is in case I end up having to do a sequel to the tenement fire incident. (I also took note of which verandas we're allowed to smoke on, so I can purposely avoid them. If I'm going to have a dangerous habit, it might as well be the one that doesn't wreck my lungs.)
