...you don't have to go home but you can't stay here! I swear that's what the maids were singing at 9am when they started beating our door down. Our room was pitch black and we had zero clue what the time was. Our paranormal investigation lasted from 10pm to well after 1am. We did not fall asleep til at least 2:30am. Needless to say, we were not ready to wake up and leave the ship. Luckily, the maids were just over eager and we still had a few hours to sleep.
We had a great investigation last night of areas of the ship that we have seen on our TV shows, but are not open to the public. We had our equipment out and were really hoping for one of the many resident spirits to communicate. Alas, we experienced nothing but a very annoying woman who ran her mouth the entire time. Regardless of any encounters, it was so very cool to be allowed in all of these long since off limit areas of this old vessel.
After dragging our feet until exactly check out-thirty, we had coffee on the deck and did some people watching. A huge Carnival cruise was parked at the same shipyard. The line for the cruise was something I remember and did not miss from my previous cruise experience. We daydreamed about the 1930's when people would have been lined up for their journey on the Queen Mary- just as those people were doing today while waiting to board their Carnival cruise.
Hours of traffic later, we arrived back in Grover Beach and had Cali BBQ for dinner. It is very different from Texas BBQ. There is no brisket here!! Ribs, ribs, and more ribs seem to be the deal instead.
We were able to take our nitely walk on the beach, but during, 2 trucks decided they would plow down the beach. I was so very angry at the recklessness of these jerks driving in the pitch black darkness, down the beach, and towards walkers and people fishing. I watched as they sped further up the beach until the flashing lights started. I was thankful there was actually some officers that were awake, aware, and willing to stop people. I was happy not to have been squished like a bug while beach walking.
Tomorrow will likely be another day of beach fun, eating, and walking, but spur of the moment adventures are never far from us. So, stay tuned!
