Well dang, I missed the pre-edit. Wondered why I was the first to "like" it.

Yup, sounds like 650 sheets of paper-thin sandpaper!

Yes, I saw what you did there. Eventually. You spelled "favourite" correctly.
I kept thinking - what am I looking for?
Clearly I was looking for something to be wrong; not right.

You really need to move back up here.My favourite () part of American history is pre-Revolutionary War and post-Civil War on up. I'm all on board for the US joining the Commonwealth, making Queen Elizabeth II the head of state and switching to the parliamentary system. I'm tempted to go on my rant about how a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system is superior to the presidential system (for one thing, having the same person be head of state and head of government is fundamentally flawed) but I'll restrain myself.

I know! I really miss it. At the very least I plan on moving out of Mississippi once I'm finished with school. It's not a bad state. The cost of living is really low, and there are some very nice people here. It's just not for me. The thing that makes it difficult to move is that I'm really close to my family.

Yup, I hear ya. Same reason I went to Mac instead of Carlton.
I still live in the same town (pop. just < 100,000) in which I was born. My mom, FIL, Hubby, kids, all born in the same hospital. Heck, my kids were delivered in the same room!

How do you like your town? I don't want to move away from my family but I just can't see myself living my whole life here.

they usually try to stay quiet, they sort of.. think their camouflage is perfect.
only when you get REALLY CLOSE or about to touch them.. is when they will run.. VERY FAST.

or bullet proof toilet paper, enough to handle the heaviest "calibre loads" (if you get my drift)
Probably would have been very useful in Taco Bell's bathrooms.

The last night of the cruise they had a Final Four tailgating poolside party before they showed the basketball games on the jumbotron. (No movies tonight. 
) There were games like cornhole, ring toss, etc. (There were many Kentucky fans onboard.) Cruise Director Matt passed out small water pistols to the kids in the pool. He also had the neatest thing. It was a camera that instantly put the pictures he took of those at the party on the movie screen. I was sitting in my lounger when my daughter's picture showed up. 
Her and a boy were in an intense water battle. 
Not being basketball fans we left when the actual game started. On our way to our room, we ran into the Easter Bunny posing for pictures. 
Honestly, I had forgotten the next day was Easter.
We returned to our room to find our luggage tags and customs papers to fill out. Yep, reality that it was our last day was sinking in.
The last things to put in our suitcases were wet swimsuits/swim shoes and we were living out of our carry-on for the evening. (Thank goodness I remembered to pack gallon ziploc bags for the wet stuff.)
The time had come to enjoy our final sitdown dinner.
(I had thought to myself, why don't they have Cruise Elegant on the final night?, but it makes sense they don't since some cruisers dress in formal gown/tuxedo, who wants to pack all that up with a very short time after eating.) It was also sad that I had gotten spoiled not having to cook or wash dishes.
For our meal this evening I had French onion soup, my daughter had shrimp cocktail, we both had Italian herb chicken br east, pea/carrot mix, mashed potatoes with gravy, I had carrot cake and she had chocolate ice cream for dessert.
We were served our bread basket (oh bread basket.....how I miss you! 
) and we heard "wait staff prepare for the show". 
The music to Leaving On A Jet Plane began and the whole wait staff sang a farewell song with the lyrics changed to the fact you are leaving their Fun Ship. I must say it put a lump in my throat because I had thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Then as that song ended.....a dance party broke out.
The song Gungnam Style started and some waiters hopped on unused chairs or empty tables and did the routine to that song. They also were pulling diners up to dance with them. Yes......I admit it......I figured oh what the heck, nobody on this cruise will see me again....so me and my daughter got down with our bad selves. 
(But not on any furniture!)
Sadly it was time to leave the restaurant and we took one final stroll around the ship. We stopped briefly to watch the Latin music group performing in the atrium lobby before heading to our room. Many people had their luggage outside their doors so we added ours too and it was picked up ten minutes later. Funny I slept like a baby every single night of the cruise and this night, our last, I couldn't no matter what I did.
TO BE CONTINUED one final time with customs, Easter and "Is it really 2:30 a.m.?"

I have so much enjoyed your cruise trip reports, and sorry they're coming to an end. Dang.
The final night's party sounded like fun. I'm glad that you and your daughter got up and danced to Gungnam Style. The good thing about that song is that it really doesn't matter how you move to it, so all you have to do is just get out there and jump around and laugh! I also like how they include the wait staff in the final show, too. Sounds like they were all great, and a little sense of community was achieved over the course of the week. I know that you and your daughter were thrilled to be able to go on the cruise and create so many happy memories.

One of my brothers drove out here for a visit today. We went out to an excellent seafood restaurant. He had baked haddock, and I had grilled swordfish. I love fresh swordfish. We also had seaweed salad, baked potato, and shrimp with spicy dipping sauce for an appetizer, that we shared. I had key lime pie for dessert. Yum, yum, yum. Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

No, we didn't take our camera to the pool and he was roaming with a Carnival photographer.
