Nostalgia in brief: Day 5

One year ago today...

We explored Grand Cayman, legally smoked Cuban cigars, and invaded the Northern Lights disco.

And we all found out about John Roderick. At the show I shouted out that "Honest" was my favorite Long Winters song. It's not my favorite anymore.

Here's a fun moment from that night. Taylor swears that if you listen EXTREMELY closely, you can hear our friend Annie shout out "What the f*ck" right after the line "Work it like a new boy should."

Or maybe it's just my imagination.

Most of us discovered how much we hate Jamaica.

These three items, thrust upon us as we left the incredibly pushy waterfall tour, serve as living reminders of how bad a time we had.

Although I've heard some people enjoyed a bit of the local flora.

Tracy became Famous Tracy and John Hodgman challenged her to a high-seas duel by Scrabble, which he won.

How many of us have taken up Scrabble as a hobby since that night? Bingo!

Nostalgia in brief: Day 2

One year ago today...

We got bored after an hour on the beautiful Caribbean beach but had a ball all afternoon indoors playing games with more new friends (and yummy free cookies).

That night we had a new Monarch of the Seas, and we all celebrated with mustaches.

Do you still have yours? I foolishly folded mine in half and lost it.

Nostalgia in brief: Day 1

One year ago today...

I worked up the nerve to ask two strangers to play a game of Fluxx before we got on a cruise ship. Six hours later we were all getting WAY too drunk off of mojitos and champagne in the crow's nest. This is the most drunk I've been in years, to the point where it was difficult to connect fork to food at dinner.

Who knew making friends was so easy?
