Okayyyy, so don’t worry I have not forgotten about you guys!! I have just been so extremely busy it has been so crazy! I want to update you all on a few things so here we go… lets do this!
So for Christmas my parents bought me a new set of fins and sent me snorkel gear! I was super excited because I was getting tired of renting equipment every time I went snorkeling so now I don’t have too!! Now since Christmas is over I did not have to be surfer Santa this week in Kona, so I got the morning off! What a better time to get the morning off than in Kona, I love Kona! Kona is located on the big island and is my favorite place to be! I decided to gather up my gear and some friends and head for a day of snorkeling! We had a nice breakfast on the beach and watched as the mass amounts of passengers flocked off the vessel! We caught a shuttle down to turtle beach which is about a twenty minute drive off of the pier. When we first got there I was not too excited to see the mass amounts of people everywhere, but what can you do…. I can never escape the people!! As fast as I could I just wanted to get in the water and swim as far as I could away from all of these people! The water was so amazing, it was a little too shallow for my taste, but there were some amazing fish! I saw an eel, as well as a huge puffer fish! Now you might be like, why is this beach called turtle beach? Well its because you get to chill with actual sea turtles! There are over twenty sea turtles that live in this area and they are so use to people they just chill in the water and the beach all around these tourists every week! It was an amazing experience and I will look forward to exploring more and more of that beach threw out the next couple months.
Now that Christmas has ended now it has really hit me that I don’t believe that was Christmas. There was no snow, there were no sledding parties, there was no egg nogg. It was such a weird Christmas! But of course I made the best of it! Christmas eve I had some time off in the evening so I made some plans! I went to dinner and East Meets West which is a specialty restaurant aboard. Dinner was great, shared it with my new great friends. After dinner we went to a production show that they had on board, where to open the show was a sweet light show, synced with Christmas music, then there were all types of singers and dancers and even Todd Michael Cook doin his tapp dancing gig. Good times! Directly following the production show was a church service, NCL brought on a pastor to do a Christmas eve service. All in all Christmas eve was pretty fun! Christmas day flew right by, I worked most of the day shooting all 2700 guests aboard the pride of America! Such a crazy life I live!
Now I am starting to figure out how to work my new gopro and do some editing for you all to see my life in my perspective! It has been taking me a while to upload and now edit all of this footage but keep posted cause its coming!!
