Chunk, here we come!

You may be wondering why I am blogging about Goonies. I actually have a very good, and to me, exciting reason. Well I am at my lab on a late Friday night doing research. Yes, I am awesome. Honestly, I haven't had a wife for nearly three weeks now so my Friday nights are quite pathetic. Anyways, while I'm waiting on some samples, I decided to blog about my good news.

Holly and I have been planning our Mexican Riviera cruise since last July! Back in D.C during our internships, Gwen, Matt and Megs convinced us that we needed a vacation for just the two of us. So we booked the cruise. Little did I know or could have even fathomed, some stupid virus called the Swine Flu broke out in Mexico last month! Yeah, well we got a lovely message from Carnival saying that our cruise was being re-routed plus we would each get $100 on onboard ship credit ($Cha-Ching$). However, the news is not all that bad....

And here comes Goonies! Our first stop will be in Astoria, Oregon (for those of you who don't know, Goonies was filmed in Astoria)! For some people that might not be very cool, but I am way excited. I already rented a car so Holly and I go drive up and down Highway 101 along the coast and visit all the cool spots. Here is one of them below.



And here is the famous Haystack Rock



Anyways, it will be so much fun.... very excited. Our other two ports will be Victoria, Canada and Vancouver, Canada. It will be a nice adventure. And the cool thing about our boat is that the huge main pool can be enclosed by this glass roof, so lots of swimming... although, "there isn't any swimming in my show."

OK! So this is how this works…The first five people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you. My choice made especially for you. Of course there are some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (Of course, I will try to make something that I think you would like.)
2. What I create will be just for you.
3 It will be done sometime this year.
4. You have no clue what it will be… it may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. (This could be fun :)
6. I will send it anywhere! It doesn’t matter where you live!

The catch? The catch is that you must repost this on your own blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. The first five people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!!

(I am continuing this from Gwen's blog... I agree, its a good idea)
