I was on a boat



Wow, nearly 3 months without an update, a new personal best. I want to say I will try to update this more often but work has been really stressful recently and I just haven’t had the energy to write up one of these things. By the way, isn't that what blogs are for anyway, to only post about why you aren't posting enough? Anyway, now that I'm done with the excuses, on to the blog.

Ok so let's see, what's been going on lately? Well I took a cruise to Cozumal and Progresso last month. While there I picked up a box of Cuban Cigars and a Poncho. And no, I don’t get one of those brightly colored ones either. I got the kind that Marty was wearing when he was doing his Clint Eastwood impression in Back to the Future 3. You know, the duel scene with Biff "Mad Dog" Tannen. Great movie. Anyway so I got those things but I was unable to acquire something I thought for sure I’d be able to find: an authentic Mexican torta house. We must have wandered all over the place looking for a place that sold tortas, but alas, no luck. It was truly a tragedy.

And I wouldn't consider myself a cigar smoker per se, but by golly those were some of the finest smokeables I have ever purchased. Imagine me on the top deck of the boat, in my full captain attire, smoking a big fat cigar. It reeked of classy. I got the cigars on the cheap as well. Talked the guy down from 50 bucks down to 20. I also got a legit pair of cigar cutters in the duty-free area in Cozumel. He wanted 15 but I got him down to 6! Bartering with the locals is a blast!

The cruise was a lot of fun and I can't wait until I book the next one. The next vacation destination for me appears to be Vegas yet again since the good folks over at Total Rewards continue to inundate me with offers for free nights there. That trip will probably take place around my birthday although nothing is set in stone just yet.

Hopefully this post will give me the spark I've needed to get back to posting on this thing regularly. I mean, only 18 posts for all of last year? Pathetic. Ok well that's all for now, hopefully I'll have something with a little more substance next week. Oh wait, you don't come here for substance.
