A Goober Heads for Paradise
Well, it is almost time to head out. This time, I and about 70 other
Carnival Goobers and Goobettes are going to do the Exotic Western Caribbean itinerary on the smoke-free Carnival Paradise. Doing a group on a smoke-free ship is a bit tricky. Most of the Grok Clan won't give up their corn-cob pipes and when she heard that chewing tobacco wasn't allowed, Granny Grok was heard to mutter something about those "damn flatlanders". I haven't heard from Bubba lately... he is probably out covering the still in case Isabel gets down in the hollow. Besides, if they don't allow tobacco, they sure won't allow that wild-wood flower stuff he likes to smoke so I doubt he'll show up. We ought to have a lot of fun on this one. Lots of us are doing that Cave Tubing thing in Belize. Most of us Goobers have patched our share of inner tubes in our time so this should be OK. Since my butt is wider than the average Michelin, I took the tube out of the old John Deere tractor so I'll be floating in style! We are also going to stop at Roatan, Cozumel and Grand Cayman. Don't know what kind of trouble... err... fun we can get into in these ports, but if I have time and am able to make bail, I'll post a Goober report or two during the week. Hehehe.... internet access on a cruise ship. The idea still makes a simple country boy like me scratch my head in wonder.

HI George,
Great to hear you're going on Carnival again -- the line is absolutely PERFECT for you. Did you buy the cruise at Skyauction? Last time I checked, a week on the Paradise was going for between $65 and $95 (plus taxes and fees of course). I hear the Paradise has 24 hour a day hot dogs, pizza and hamburgers -- right up your alley! I am also told that you can eat in the dining room where you are guaranteed lousy food and abysmal service. But you do get to see the wait staff all dress up in stupid costumes, try to sing and dance around -- it's kind of like setting up a dining room table in the middle of a WWF event or the circus (remember George, a decent meal and decent service, always costs extra on Carnival.) But so what if the food and service is bad, there will be lots of those watered down fruit drinks and partying aboard - you can really raise some hell. Plus you'll be packed aboard the ship with folks who live just to eat, drink and party -- your kind of people. And how about those exotic ports of call. Wow! You and your buddies will be visiting some of the world's most renown destinations -- each and every one an unspoiled tropical wilderness. Why your name will be right up there with other explorers like Columbus, Balboa, and Cortez. Hell, I'll bet people in these places have never seen a white man, let alone a bunch of fat, drunken Carnival cruisers. You can probably teach them some English and barter for their native crafts with beads or trinkets. A word of caution though. Although we're all excited about your trip, we are concerned about you going tubing. We can't think of an inner tube big enough to hold you and we are concerned for you safety. Since you're so out of shape you can't possibly swim what happens if the inner tube sinks? We suggest you lash 5 or 10 inner tubes together -- that may do it. Well have a great time. But we do ask one favor. Please, please do not send more goober reports about how much you ate and drank. The image of you continually stuffing yourself with food and alcohol is not pleasant.

Good Job George, took just three hours and a few to catch that troll even in
a hurricane. It's way too easy sometimes. Totally made my day. It's no fun when it's this easy anymore. "George Leppla" wrote in message ... Well, it is almost time to head out.
