Ahoy!

Greetings to all! I am happy to report that I have returned to my home unharmed from my adventures at sea. And oh, what adventures I had! I parasailed over Haiti, tubed down the White river in the rain forest of Jamaica, hiked the jungles of Mexico, survived the wrath of Hurricane Jeanne, and managed to make it through 9 days in a very very small room with my mom, my aunt, and my great aunt, and without my good nice husband. I take back everything I said about cruises being cheesy. It was absolutely awesome. I recommend it to anyone, and especially via the great Royal Caribbean ship the Navigator of the Seas. There is much to blog about, but I will have to wait, because I have to get caught up at work. Thanks for all the songs that were sent in while I was away!

Glad to have you back, Mary Ann!

--------------------------------------------
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny Ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour.

A three hour tour. [ sound of thunder: crack! ]

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would be lost.

The Minnow would be lost.

The ship's aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his wife,
A movie star, ( and the rest ) the Professor and Mary Ann,
( All ) Here on Gilligan's Isle!

So this is the tale of our castways,
They're here for a long, long time
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

The first mate and ( his ) the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In their tropic island nest.

No phone(s)! No light(s)! No motor car(s)!
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson C-ru-soe, it's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile,
From ( For ) seven stranded castways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."
