DEPARTURE

“Oh my god, there’s been so many.. I especially liked the part where Granddad went out on the glass-bottom boat and then came back and said that his feet got wet, and I haven’t figured that part out yet..”

“I think my favorite memory from the trip has been snorkeling and being less than a foot away from the sea lions and sea turtles and penguins.”

“My favorite memory was when my brother and my father got crapped-on by a bird a few feet away from me, and I was safe... cause their never going to forget that.... and neither am I.”

“ I think my favorite memory was being with the tortoises today... seconded by being in the tortoise shell.”

“My favorite memory was when a family of sea lions swam into me while snorkeling.”

“OKAY, IT’S TUESDAY NIGHT... WE’RE ALL IN THE COCKTAIL CABIN - 601 - AND WE’RE GOING

“My favorite thing about this whole trip is having all of us together, honestly, this has just been delightful, having the family together... my favorite memory is having a penguin swim under me... like half a foot, back and forth, as we were swimming along the coast.”

“This leads in, from Aunt Kate, falling three times from the boat climbing in, in addition to seeing the giant tortoises today, was probably my favorite memory.”

“This is the Chief C.E.O High Potentate. My favorite memory is the kindness shown to me out of the people on this ship.”

“This is the assistant to the Chief High Potentate. I also appreciate the kindness shown to the High Potentate, and my other favorite memory includes getting to know all of our new friends on-board, as well as spending time with the family. My absolute favorite was swimming with a sea lion for about a half an hour with two of my favorite people.”

“This is the husband to the assistant to the High Potentate, Jeff, and I’d have to go along the same lines and say one of my favorite memories was being given the name “Jefe,” meaning chief, by our favorite bartender, Enrique. I also enjoyed the turtles and the questionable pose that Meagen put me in behind them.”

TO GO AROUND THE CIRCLE AND EVERYONE’S GOING TO TELL US THEIR FAVORITE MEMORY..”
