Have really enjoyed many of your other reports--as I am a morning person, thanks to you I've gotten to see first hand what goes on after 10 p.m. that I am missing :D Thanks! Just what I need to get through to our cruise at the end of the month. Thank you for posting, I will be following you here and on Periscope. :) Thanks Bill. I'm looking forward to your next review.

Yorkvillain Posted September 2, 2015 Author #53 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'd like to see Courtney get the Saturday morning ice water wake up. I sure wouldn't want to be there to witness the aftermath. :D Sometimes it's easier to break into Fort Knox then it is to wake Courtney up.

Yorkvillain Posted September 3, 2015 Author #56 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) DAY -3 The last day of work - one of the most underrated moments of every trip. To me, vacation begins the second I leave work for the last time. I mine as well throw on a New Years Eve party hat with year 2000 glasses and drink champagne on my drive home. However I prefer to not spend my next week locked up with a roomie nicknamed “Bonecrusher” so I'll skip the bubbly while hydroplaning home. It’s a shame I’m so responsible. I really need to get a 2nd wearing out of these glasses. Alright, I’m all packed and now it's time to play “try to sleep the night before vacation”. Trying to sleep will just not work for a hyper spaz like myself. What usually happens is I toss and turn, stare at the ceiling, analyze the grooves on my elbow and study the back of my hand for a solid two hours before I give up and fire up the iPad and read Cruise Critic until the wee hours of the morning. If I get two hours of shut-eye I’ll consider it a victory. I think I packed enough Islanders t-shirts for the week. I'm still debating which one is most suitable for formal night. The black one on the bottom probably makes the most sense. Next Up: DAY -2 (Travel day recap) Edited September 3, 2015 by Yorkvillain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkvillain Posted September 3, 2015 Author #60 Share Posted September 3, 2015 We had a very smooth travel day today. Now we're getting ready for dinner at Squid Lips in Sebastian, Fl. http://www.squidlipsgrill.com/sebastian-squid-lips/ The cajun bacon wrapped scallops are definitely in my plans for tonight.

kberlaymont Posted September 3, 2015 #62 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi Yorkvillain, Looking forward to your review! I will be on Oasis this month, too. If you happen to see/hear what, if any, specialty dining discounts they are doing for the 1st and/or 2nd nights I would love to hear back. Wondering whether waiting to book onboard would provide a greater/better discount than the 20% off online they are currently offering. Thanks in advance! Have a fantastic voyage!

Yorkvillain Posted September 4, 2015 Author #65 Share Posted September 4, 2015 DAY -2 Five hours of sleep! I asked for two and I got five. I feel like the luckiest man alive and I now know what a bear feels like after hibernating for the winter. We arrived at the airport early and had time to grab breakfast. On the menu was something I had never heard of before - Prime Rib Hash. It was absolutely mandatory that I sample this at least once in my life so I figured why not September 3, 2015? While waiting for our flight to Orlando I was reading a fascinating story about an eight-foot king cobra on the loose in oh yeah, Orlando. Wonderful. I was fully expecting Cody the Cobra to be coiled up in the glove compartment of my rent-a-car, anxiously waiting to scare the Prime Rib Hash out of me. Ok, so here is my one and only travel tip that I'll offer up - If you are ever at LaGuardia Airport and craving a Bloody Mary, do not, I repeat, do not order one until you are on your plane. They are absolutely atrocious at LGA. How bad? Picture 2 parts expired ketchup with 1 part used motor oil. Add some dandruff from a homeless guy as garnish and you'll have an idea of just how horrific they are. Thankfully United Airlines has delicious Bloody Marys along with my favorite vodka, Tito's (that's your one free plug Senor Tito). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkvillain Posted September 4, 2015 Author #66 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I didn't lie before when I said that dinner on Thursday was at Squid Lips in Sebastian, FL. Here are those aforementioned cajun bacon wrapped scallops followed by some other food porn. Seared tuna Grilled cajun shrimp Citrus salmon The jet lag is lightly slapping me in the face right now so it's time to call it a day.

Did you hear the good news that Brady's suspension was overturned? Maureen's avatar cat could have smoked that 8' cobra hiding in your rental car. Sounds like you two might have to travel together. Not to mention the cruise reviews will have me laughing so hard I'd feel constricted. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
