A week from today we’ll be in Tampa, Florida boarding the Carnival Inspiration for a five day cruise to Cozumel and Grand Cayman. My parents very graciously volunteered to take Payton for the week, and he’s pretty excited to be staying at the farm with Grandma and Poppy. We’re going on the cruise with two other couples who are good friends of ours. It should be a great time. We went on a cruise for our honeymoon almost seven years ago and had a blast. In my opinion, there really aren’t many vacations that can top a cruise.
In Grand Cayman, we’re signed up to go snorkeling and swim with the sting-rays. I’m really not very keen on the sting-ray part of the activity, but everyone we’ve talked to says that it’s awesome. I always thought that STING-rays were dangerous and poisonous, but I’m told that unless you step on them, they are very placid. You can be sure that if I end up with a big welt from a sting-ray, you’ll hear about it here.
I’m still not sure what I’ll do in Cozumel yet. They have deep-sea fishing available, and I would love to do that more than anything else. However, when I checked into the times, the excursion ends thirty minutes after the ship leaves Cozumel. Even though this excursion would be booked through the ship, and they say that they won’t leave until everyone is back on board, I really don’t feel very comfortable with that. I’ll probably end up going with one of the other guys to see the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Holly’s just going to go with one of the girls and snorkel again.
One thing I’m going to do on the ship for sure is karaoke. It’s a pretty safe bet that I’ll be singing one or more of the songs from my top ten list or karaoke songs. That reminds me that I should do a list of karaoke songs that I’ve done, but probably would have been better off not doing. I can only think of two off-hand, but I’m sure there are more if I really think about it. Maybe Holly will help me come up with that list. I’m sure she’ll remember the karaoke faux pas I’ve made better than me. I might add to that list on the cruise too, but that’s not my goal.

Anything by Prince is a safe bet. Just make sure there is a video camera and you can post it for the world to see like I do. Probably come back to haunt me as I run for president someday but oh well.
Good luck in packing for your boat trip. Just don't get wasted and jump overboard. I've read too much about the pending law suits from that situation.
Nothing could top... or be beneath my attempt at Wanted Dead or Alive.
I always hear songs and think they would make good karaoke songs that I could actually sing well. But then I always forget when given the opportunity and I start to flip through the book wondering if Tom Petty really is a good choice or not.
I need to make my own top 10 list of Karaoke options.
