Four score and 9 years ago- in 2001. DBD and Supah vacationed or rather honeymooned in Jamaica at a Sandal's resort- Grand.. something or nother. Shoulda been called- Lotsa Warm Pools and Weird Fake American Food Resort.
I like my beef USDA baby .
* ahem*
So anyways. Sandals has all kinnza shit you can " explore" while you're there. Get your fill of adventurism. even if you're FAR from the adventur" ish" type. From Nekked Isle , to hammock swinging- always an adventure if you're me and catamarranning..... i know I didnt' spell that right. Go away all you _ .. you... you spell checkers! There's a spelling bee callin your name.
I passed on the catamaranning after I saw a lady get a " lesson" in cat- a- marranning.
It was like this.
Get in dee boat mOn.
See you later mOn.
( big shove off into the ocean sunset)
* lady cries*
Um. No thanks. " MOn. "
Kayaking didn't bode so well for the newly married mr and mrs. dbd so we figured I figured we'd try our luck at THIS monstrosity of adventurism.
I could end the post right there and you'd all have your laughs in .
This sucker. Lord. ONce you're in it. There's really no turning back because - the current starts taking you OUT TO SEA.
So your fine ass best START TA PEDDLIN.
DBD and I were all giggling and feeling all stupid when the dude cut our tether rope with a machete releasing us to the open ocean of death.
Our shit stopped giggling immediately when we realized that this was a
NO JOKE EVENT. Hands gripping the MASSIVE handlebars.
I felt like we were the main event in the circus.
OF COURSE THERE WERE PEOPLE ON THE SAND- watching.
Mo Fo if we didn't pedal that sucker with everything in us- and still.... we began to drift further and further out to sea, sea.... sea.
There is skill involved in driving one of these ocean Hummers. .
We did not have it.
We would drift further with the current.
Jaws theme began playing and waves began ROCKING OUR FINE ASS " BOAT" all around.
Dbd began to have what I believe to be a mild panic attack. He would pedal faster - my legs would FLIP OFF as he pedalled.
I would SCREAM at him- YOU'RE HURTING ME YOU ASSWIPE PEDALER ! '
We would get it together for 2 seconds... begin heading to shore with the ROcky Theme playing- people would cheer from the shore.
Then mother nature would throw a wave at us and knock us further off course.
Dbd would of course begin yet another panic attack..... begin his pedaling frenzy.
knock my legs off
I would scream obscenities
and round and round we went.
I was looking around for a freaking ANCHOR to heave ho.
We ended up in Japan.
Mad at each other for choosing such a stupid ASS adventure choice.

No more reading your posts late at night for me. I wake dh up with my laughter.
That thing looks BEYOND serious!
Too funny! Probably not a good honeymoon activity!
Hilarious!
true.story.
Funny! I think I just woke the kiddies up with my laughing!
Ok thus far you and DBD have failed in teamwork 2x over.. one has to wonder if you had known how flustered and worrisome he becamein crisis situations like the last 2 would you have still said I do lol..
great story, lol, hope DBD no longer suffers the panic attacks. . . great blog to follow, thanks for the stories
LMBO, you wimps...just sayin
Growing up near Lake Michigan and seeing the tourists pay for a ride on one of those, I had ALWAYS wanted to try the water trike. But never did. Alas, until our honeymoon. I made Jdaddy go out in one with mea nd the same damn thing happened to us. Only, add in that the damn thing kept squeaking with each pedal turn. So I was whining, the trike was squeaking, and Jdaddy was PISSED (and the only one pedaling). LMAO.
Note to self - not an activity for me!
LMAO!!!
As always you deliver with yet again a story to which we must laugh at your misery LOL I'm starting to wonder if you enjoyed any activity on your honeymoon...wait don't answer that ;) ROFL
I bet your ass muscles hated you the next day! We went to Aruba on our honeymoon and they don't have USDA meat either...
Is Jamaica still under siege by the druglords?? I haven't checked the news today...
LOL! I would have loved to watch that....I would have been terrified,having panic attacks like DBD. I hate deep open water!
LMAO
hahah. I can't wait to get my hind end into the world of watersports out here, but I'll make a mental note to stay away from that mother trucker.
ROFL! You crack me up girl!
OMG... I have heard this story previously...
Cymbalta?
So um, did you ever get back to the resort?
I'm picturing myself sitting on the sand with a pina colada in my hand saying, "And they looked like such a nice couple!" *slurp*
The ocean of death! I love that!
That's how I think of the ocean! As filled with death just waiting to reach up and grab me and suck me under. Plus also? Sharks.
Your story is like a giggly nightmare, and like all good nightmares . . .it is of something I hope never to experience.
Thanks for the laugh!

Another LOL moment....I think why I love it so much is hubby and did alot of the same adventures when we went to Sandals in Jamaica 13 yrs ago....although we did not get pulled out to sea, we were out there a long while yelling at each other too and hubby got the worst sunburn EVER so that pretty much mad our honeymoon from then on out a bit tricky in that dept! WINK WINK!!!!
Thanks for yet another installment and hopefully Honeymoon adventures can take an ass kickin from here on out and you and dba can come out on top!
OOPS dbd UGH darn typos
Oh my heck! These cautionary tales are awesome. No trike, check. No kayak to nekkid island, check...
