A group of some of my favorite people on the ship were suppose to get off the boat yesterday night, and spend 5 days away in the jungle and on an island. Their bags were packed, and they were all crammed down on the last deck of the ship. They all waited vigorously for the doors to open, to taste freedom, to step on land. Two hours of patience all for nothing, but small puddles of sweat and stress. Rough seas prevented anyone from leaving. So I got one more night with them. We all laid in one of the fortunate larger rooms of the ship, and watched fight club. As for me I attempted to watch fight club, but because I often suffer from narcolepsy I passed out during the first 30 minutes of the movie. But early this morning they were able to leave, and as for me I am still on the ship. Other then a few miles of water I see land, I see the city. But the responsibility of handling the media reception means I am stuck on the ship at least for a few more hours. But 5 days without seeing everyone but a few people, I will def. miss them. Seems strange doesn’t it? How do you miss people you don’t really know? But that’s how it goes that is boat life and its very interesting.
My plans for panama consist of going shopping because during a raged drunken session in Portugal we jumped a fence and I ripped a pair of jeans, so I must buy new ones. And I am probably going to try to get to an island, in the next few days. I don’t really feel like doing much of anything but lying on a beach and just being on land. Also, I need to eat something recently there hasn’t been a fish or chicken option so I haven’t had protein other then peanut butter in few days, and I could feel my body slowing down from the lack of nutrition.
