We were going to Hawaii??!?!? I couldn't believe it!
I gathered a couple of things I would need and left to try to catch the cruise over there. Well, due to the fact my timing sucks I missed it.
"I totally missed the boat...literally." I grumbled.
I wondered what my options were... I could catch a plane, but I hated planes. I could catch another cruise, but I wasn't looking forward to it. Then there was the fact I could swim to catch the cruise.
Before I could complain anymore I let myself fall over the edge.
"OMG! That one chick just fell into the water!" People were shouting behind me.
The water was cold, but I ignored it and kept paddling (the doggy paddle) with my luggage strapped to my back. I alternated swimming styles for what seemed like hours until I saw a ship in the horizon.
"Yes!" I cried out just when a wave washed over me and filled my mouth with salty water.
I choked out the nasty stuff and paddled as fast as my lasting strentgh could carry me. Once I reached the ship, I hurled my luggage onto the ship, hoping that I didn't strike anyone dead, and then scaled up the stern of the ship.
I was soaking wet and as tired as heck, but I had made on board. Vacation, here I come.
Taki~
