Too many drinks on the party boat.

This was another Caribbean all inclusive holiday for Terri and I. We had a great time doing all of the usual resort activities including sunbathing, snorkeling and swimming. We enjoyed the evening shows, the company of a few other people and spending some great time together. We took a couple of excursions into local areas to see how the local people lived. We visited a sugarcane plant where we tried tasting it a various stages in the process.

My friend Peter and his wife Toni unknown to us, had booked a different nearby resort for an overlapping period of time. We took a cab to that resort and after some negotiation, we hung out with them at their place for a day. This was where Peter, while called out on the fact that he was ogling the bikini clad women, made the unforgettable remark "Joe you have to realize I am six feet of erectile tissue!" Too bad we hadn't booked the same place.

Terri and I took a party boat tour where all they did was ply you with a local alcoholic drink. I succumbed and got quite drunk, luckily I didn't drown in the water. It was good fun in the hot sun and warm water.
