July 16- 23, 2011 - Eastern Caribbean Cruise
with Tau Gamma |
| Here we go!
Flying down to Fort Lauderdale to embark on Oasis of the Seas, largest
cruise ship in the world, for seven days of fun-filled adventure with high
school and college, know as Tau Gamma. Bill is not very happy about
having to fly commercial instead of the RV. |
|
 |
|
|
That is one big ship. |
|
 |
|
| Tau Gamma members
as the ship gets underway. The guy in the middle -- Stan -- clearly
hasn't gotten into the swing of things yet. |

Yours truly won the Tau Gamma
miniture golf championship! Yes, they have a miniture golf course on
the ship. |

its own balcony. Coming into St. Thomas. |
|
 |
|
|
Partying in one of the many
jacuzzis. We spent a lot of time here. Whoever invented those
aluminum bottle-shaped cans deserves a big bonus! |
|

|
| On shore at St.
Thomas, Lynnette met this wierd, ganja-smoking, dreadlock crazed
dude. |

on the snorkel trip once they broke out the rum punch. |
|
 |
|
|
Yes, rum punch, good
stuff. |
|
 |

in the ship's belly flop contest. He won the crowd over early by
balancing a beer on the Royal Caribbean logo covering his belly. |

ships. |
