Pleasantly Surprised

I just returned from a 7-day cruise to Bermuda. Things that I saw/learned:

• Flying fish are funny. They look like little biplanes.
  
• Bermuda is very clean and pretty. I thought it was going to be like Jamaica or the Bahamas. Noooo, it wasn't. Hence, the "pleasantly surprised".
  
• Bermuda is also expensive as hell. Now I'm starting to wonder how I am ever going to survive in London. Forty bucks for "high-tea"??? Seriously!
  
• Cruise ships are like pig farmers. They make you fat. The only difference is they take your money instead of killing you for ham and bacon.
  
• You have to be very good in making conversations with strangers on a cruise. I'm lacking in that department. Really lacking.
  
• Massages are nice. But I still think pedicures and manicures are overrated.
  
• There are cactuses growing on the rock formations on Bermuda beaches! How exciting!!
  
• Bermudians are manly. I mean, if they can paint their prison pink then they are certainly manly enough.
  
• I managed not to get a tan. Woohoo!
  
• Lastly, I like monkeys. Just want to throw it out there...
