Wall hit #2

Ok the next hit with the wall also came on the cruise. Like I stated previously we were cruising to the Bahamas. One of the excursions my fiance and I had decided to do was a daily outing at the Atlantis Resort & water park. http://www.atlantis.com/ I really didn't have the normal fear of wearing a bathing suit in public because "hey I was never going to see these people again anyway so what did it matter " ? We arrived at the resort and had a 5 mile hike to get to the water park area!!!!! By the time we made it I was totally out of breath and my hip was freakin' KILLING ME!!!!!! My fiance went to find us a locker to put our stuff in. ( he also would be the one trapsing back and forth to retreave things and put things away all day .... God Bless him ) The worst of it was the fact that this place was HUGE and it seemed like everytime we would want to go somewhere we would end up in a dead end and have to backtrack and start over. After a few times of this and again me being totally out of breath and my hip killing me. I would stay where we were and he would go find the way and come back and get me. How embarassing and humiliating is that?!? Did I mention he is thin?!? He was a trooper though and did not make any complaints but I know he had to be worn out and sick of it. There was one water slide that you went down from the top of like a Mayan ruin.... as you went down there were sharks swimming in a tank below you... I wanted to do it but was afraid my big fat butt would get stuck and I would be humiliated.... also was afraid I would not be able to make it up all the stairs to get to the top to go down the slide to begin with. He did go down the slide and I waited at the bottom with the sharks. After the day was up we had another HUGE hike to get back to the resort and our ride back to the ship. On the way out we stopped to look at the aquarium that is in the resort. It is amazing but of course the whole time I was in terrible pain because again my freakin' hip. I did the best I could but know he would of liked to look around the resort and see more of what was there.... I of course couldn't which was a real shame. We both shelled out some pretty good $ for this trip. I found out later that we had missed the best part of the aquarium. :(




I NEVER want Pat, my fiance, to be put in that position again. He did not complain but I felt like shite and it was so unfair to him. Some day I hope we can go back and do it right.
