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."

Nice, the same thing happened to Mike Fisher (Cory's buddy, I am pretty sure you know him). They got a massage with their money that sounds amazing! $400, but they only spent like $150 of it.
I hope all went well with the MCAT and that you are are pleased with the score you get!!!
