Fourteen

This is supposed to originally have been posted on 1/22/2010. Due to lack of internet, I had to post today.

So, my trip to the ship in Acapulco was crazy:

empty stomach + long wait - appropriate paperwork = very frustrated me!

So after being told that there were parts of my medical that were missing, and I'd have to make my own way to the clinic once we hit Huatulco, Mexico.. I was a little peeved! But it's all part of the experience, right? It was actually a nice day, so it was nice to be able to get off the ship at this particular port. I had been here before, so it made for some great memories...

I made it to the clinic via a shady taxi that cost $4 USD and waited a while for the results of the test. My view of the waiting room follows.....

I had to pay in pesos, so I walked about six blocks to the nearest ATM and made my way back. I was actually tempted to stop at one of the restaurants along the way, cuz I was super hungery, but decided against it and continued on. I waited a little while longer for my results ($7 USD) and finally made my way back the the port, $2 USD... earlier guy overcharged me (?) hmmm.... .

So back on board, I went through some job training, and get to go back to work around 5-ish... should be interesting once I have to start doing this on my own. I haven't really met anyone, so I'm hoping to start making some friends soon... cuz being on here for 6 months alone, will really suck. Tomorrow's a sea day, then we hit Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
