It's been a crazy year and once I hit Alaska, it was so busy that I couldn't find the time to hop on here and write. My contract ended the middle of February and I headed home. I took off again on a road trip for a month to keep myself busy.
First stop was New Orleans for St. Paddys Day. I had so much fun and got to dress up and be one of the crazy folks.
After that I headed to Tamp to hang out with my sister and nieces. I stayed with them for almost 2 weeks. She was so busy with everything that I needed a little extra sister time with her. While there I got to see a friend from the ship. It is a little weird being off the ship and hanging out when you are so use to seeing them only on the ships. We had tons of fun and I got to see a lot of Tampa's night life.
I then headed south to Ft. Lauderdale to pick up a friend from the ship for the day. We got to hang out on the beach and go have some awesome lunch at Moe's Southwestern Grill. If you have never tried this place, do it. It's so yummy. We also went to a Dave and Buster's where I kicked his ass at a lot of the games. All in all a very fun and exciting day to hang out with a friend.
I was told to stop in St. Augustine for a night because it was a really cool place to see. So I headed that way. Stayed at a hostel and made some new friends. I got a private tour of the nightlife while having some drinks and the next day I got to go to some of the tourist spots. The fort was really cool to see and to walk around. On my last day there I went to leave, but my truck decided otherwise. So instead of stressing over the fact that my car didn't want to start, I decided to go to the beach with my new friends.
Once I was able to leave St. Augustine (fuel pump fixed and ready to go), I got stuck in Jacksonville for a another truck problem. But thankfully it didn't take long to fix even though I had to stay overnight.
Atlanta was my next destination, but not before I took a quick tour of Savannah. A coupe of hours walking around was nice until it started to thunder. So I decided it was time to go. Drove through Macon, cute little town, and headed north. I hung out with the aunt and uncle there in Atlanta till after Easter. On Easter we had out own little easter egg hunt, just for the adults. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. There were 11 of us running around hunting for eggs and liquor. Yep, little bottles were just a few of the goodies we went searching for.
Heading home I took another stop in New Orleans to hang out with the guys again. As always, I had tons of fun. Got to hop on their float and ride along all the while drinking beer and dancing with everyone. It was definitely an epic day that day.
And after NOLA, I headed back home. Photos from my road trip soon to come.
