I take it all back

So I was bragging a few weeks ago letting everyone know that I was going down to Aruba, Panama and Costa Rica. But now that I’m back I don’t know if I can actually say that I have been to them. Don’t get me wrong, I was physically in those places…I am trying to beet around the bush here but its not working very well…I WENT ON A CRUISE alright! With that said I will get back to the point. You don’t really get to see the real Costa Rica when you are only there for 8 hours and 6 of them are on a tour bus with a hundred other tourists. Instead you get to see the Disneyland version of Costa Rica- Very beautiful but without the culture.

But I really must say that other than that, the trip was amazing! The best part was hanging out with the family. There were nine of us total and we tore that ship a new one.

If you haven’t been on a cruise before I would save it for when you are having problems with your marriage. All you have to do is eat and have sex (this was unfortunately not my case as I shared a room with my mom and her boyfriend).

Every where we went was so beautiful. The Panama Canal was truly incredible. From now on anytime I think that I can’t do something I will remember the attitudes of those that built the canal and what they would probably say to me, “If you try too hard you will only die of the yellow fever like me!” But seriously, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything, Marty Mcfly…I mean Dan Zahn

I have a lot to figure out, and I will take all the help I can get. This blog is an opportunity for me to share some insight, and give others a chance to do the same.
