Anyway, I got to go on this really cool trip called the MayerCraft Carrier Cruise. This a concert cruise hosted by John Mayer and there are also other bands that make the trip even better. This is the second year it has happened and the second time I have gone. I would have to say that this year was better then the last. I was able to spend more time with the friends that I made last time as they were my cabin mates and next door cabin mates. I also had the pleasure of having one of my long time friends come this time. Where does one begin???
Ok so lets start at the beginning. Last year we were teased with details of where the cruise was going to be, for how long and where we would be going. This torture for a couple of weeks was enough to get everyone excited. We finally learn that we are flying into LAX, leaving from Long Beach and sailing to Cabo San Lucas!!!! Wooohooooo!!! So the countdown begins and before you know it we are on a plane for Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on our way to LA. When I say we I mean my friends Tanesha, Amanda, Geneva and myself. We are meeting up with our other friends Monica, Linda, Shannon, LeQui and Trish.
The first day begins on Thursday the 26th. We arrive in LA and make our way to the boat, The Carnival Splendor. It is the biggest boat that Carnival has to date. We were hoping our shuttle driver would stop at Pinks so we could all get a hotdog but he wouldn't do it so we got dropped off at the Queen Mary instead. the Queen Mary was a cruise ship that was decommissioned and now serves as a hotel. We were all starving so we hit up one of the restaurants and filled out bellies. Next we get swanky luxury car taxi's that take us to our real ship, which is the Splendor. We arrive at the Splendor and get settled in and then we start to explore. We will all be going to the One Splendid Evening Show which was to help VH1's Save The Music. So the time has come for everyone to get snazzed up and ready for dinner so we can get to the OSE concert. The headliner of course is John Mayer but his guests are Jordin Sparks, Gavin Rosedale, Sara Bareilles, Erin McCarly, OAR and Guster. All I can say is that I wish Sara would be on the next cruise along with Erin and all of the others. They were all AWESOME!!!
Ok.....I'm back. It has taken me way to long to finish this so I'm just going to let the pictures explain!! The only way to explain it is that I had way to much fun!!!!
