Down The Islands...

Yesterday, I went down the islands (for those of you who don't know.. down the islands = small islands which surround the coast of Trinidad) and it was pretty fun.
I went with my church, so the fun was limited but I still had fun anyway (not like I ever have fun so it doesn't matter).
I got to invite a friend and Simone, a long time friend of mines, got to come..kewl...bring on the craziness.
In the line, she made fun of this other grrl's clothes behind her back saying what she should and shouldn't wear.
The DJ thought it'd be a good idea to play "The Love Boat" while more than half of the crowd who were waiting to get on weren't actually ON the boat....smooth (you can feel the sarcasm dripping off that word.).
Danielle, friend to Simone and myself, came up to us with 2 grrls I've never seen before (both younger than me) and tried to ask for a spot in line.
( inFamous moment : If I give them a space in line, that means that all the other people would be inconvienced...but if I don't they might get pissed at me for the rest of the trip... )

Well..we didn't give them a space in line (Good Actions give you a good reputation)...because they forgot they tickets.....but we probably would've given them the space anyway (Evil Actions tarnish your good reputation)
After some talking and more talking, they got "Temporary Tickets" and when we were going through (Me, my mom, Simone, Danielle, her 2 cousins, her mom, dad and sister.)...
Somehow, they got through first...with "Temporary Tickets" (how did that even work ?).... but either way we got through and after a loose security check-point...we were in the boat.
The boat was the "Treasure Princess" (or somefin like that), it had 3 levels, and while it wasn't the cruise I was supposed to go on aboard the Caribbean Princess, it was still pretty cool.

We started moving and they were still playing "Love Boat". This was seriously getting on my nerves at this point, but I did my best to ignore it (and it worked, until some kid started blowing a whistle really loudly).
Someone probably made a complaint because at last they changed the song, everyone started cheering, except maybe for some lady who was dancing and encouraging others to dance with her...weird.
Simone, Danielle, her two cousins and myself went to the rail at the edge of the boat and began looking over into the sea.
Either there were rough waves or the music intoxicated them because Simone began leaning on me, practically pushing me onto the other cruise-goers (3 other grrls)...I didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable so I just put my arm around Simone's shoulder, she didn't even seem to notice, although, Danielle looked at me directly in my face, made me feel uncomfortable..so before a minute passed, my arm was gone.
The rest of the trip to the island, Chacachacare (can you even pronounce that ?), was uneventful for the most part, so I'll exclude it.
At the island, there were two areas we could've gone to...there was a clearing that wasn't too far from the boat but not many people gathered...and there was a bigger area further from the boat, but had lots of trees for shade and had the beach nearby so more people gathered there.
Sadly, when we got there, things took one bad turn after another... First, we found out that the Nature Walk had been cancelled because the boat left late.. an hour late to be exact...
I wanted to go in the water..but couldn't because I had no towel. (I had bathing trunks...but no towel, there HAS to be something wrong with me) and the beach arobics were cancelled (doesn't matter cause I wasn't going to that even if they payed me)...
I spent most of the time either talking with other people who didn't go in the water for one reason or the other...
Then it was time to go.....
The ride up was mostly eneventful, except that the seas were rougher.. one thing happened though....
We were on the bridge (top level of the boat) and I was sitting, talking to Garth about some of my "problems".... and then Simone calls me next to her, then..she and Haley(Danielle's older cousin) link their arms in mine and tell me to dance, I step with them a few times before pulling away.
I don't mind having 2 grrls link their arms in mine...but dancing....that's something completely different...
I can't wait to go down the islands again (maybe I'll actually remember to pack my towel).....
