Today was the beach party and I couldn’t been anymore excited than I was. Ordered room service which was amazing it helped us get ready and such much faster and easier. We had to be at a meeting place at 10:00am but of course everything was running late so we didn’t end up leaving until like 11:30 I believe. I thought it was interesting how they were taking us on this boat to the island which was pretty awesome we got to see our boat from afar and I think it was beautiful.
When we arrived my friend went to do some shopping and then we headed to the area where everyone was and we walked on the beach and I have to say the sand and walking was working my calves like no other. I asked where we were should go and it seemed we had to go up to the boat where the bar was and such so we did got our spots but of course we didn’t stay there for very long, but finally food was ready so I thought why not eat now so we can enjoy everything afterwards and shortly after I went and got Amanda her food but I was told I could get food inside where the bar was so that was nice.
When the boys arrived Nick ended up jumping off the boat into the water it was so funny and seeing Mike having to take things off to go after him ha-ha. Brian came by to our section and was saying hi to everyone and chatted he mentioned to everyone that he would be back later on to take photos, he walked by us to go on to the stage and said hello to us. Kevin was up above us and he eventually made his way down to us and was able to get a photo.
Eventually all the guys made it out onto the stage and having water guns and having some fun, it was awesome to see them smiling and having a good time esp. Nick. They were getting ready to do games and such with fans and mind you at this time I had to take my hearing aids out because it was raining so a good 15-20 minutes I wasn’t able to hear but I knew they were doing something they were bringing fans up and I was screaming not knowing what I was trying to go up for but thanks to my friend Amanda who got AJ’s attention AJ told me to get up there and we screamed and off I went (thanks to the rose tour peeps for helping me through) as I turned to start going up the stairs Nick sees me smiles at me and said to get up there so he came
over to grab my hand and takes me where to stand and I realized this was the wet T-Shirt contest and now I know I’m no skinny girl and I was the biggest girl out of the group chosen and I cannot dance I know I can’t dance but I went ahead and made this to be best time ever I was on stage and getting wet by Nick, AJ and Howie how many fans get to say that right? I remember Howie kept shooting at my boobs LOL and AJ squirted me in the face and damn the salt water burns your eyes lol! Eventually at some point I moved over to the left so my friend could get a few photos of me up on stage but it was too late after it was over I hugged AJ telling thank you and headed off the stage. I ended up just watching the other games didn’t even think about taking photos I was just having a good time enjoying what was around me, I think the musical chairs was funny but the coconut game was the far best due to Howie falling on his partner LOL and not to mention how freaky they were getting ;)
Brian came back and took photos with fans and I told him “I don’t want a photo but my friend does” he gives me the usual look (it’s sort of a joke between us I guess) and of course her camera was acting up and Brian told me to hurry up I said I can’t the camera isn’t working ha-ha. (It seems every time I take a photo for someone with Brian the camera wants to not work) LOL Howie came down eventually and we were able to get another photo with him which he didn’t mind at all I asked him if I could have another he said of course. Nick made his way finally towards the end and I asked him if I could get a photo and he said yes with a smile he kept waiting for me but other fans were taking theirs so I asked Nick if he could move over here a little to where I could get to him (a canon was between us) and he did so and we took a photo and I told him thank you and he said something I think he said you’re welcome but not 100%. I went up above to get some water and Rose Tour member showed me where it was and got me couple and Nick was up there of course I had to walk by him to get go back down and I just told him thank you for everything he’s all no problem and smiled. I also ran into Howie, Brian, and Leighanne but let them be if we made eye contact I just smiled.
Leighanne was around our area so we decided to go and see if we can get a photo, when it was my turn I asked if I could get one and she said of course it seemed like I shouldn’t have to ask but she was very sweet about it and came in close for the photo. I also helped my friend Kristi get a autograph from Leighanne which I explained what I was doing, she thought it was sweet but thankfully Leighanne finally made her way over to her in the end. As we were leaving Howie and Nick were at the bar (we were waiting for my friend’s husband) Nick ordered a strawberry daiquiri but it was a virgin one ;) We were headed back to the boat which took forever since our boat wouldn’t lock or something but eventually we off and headed to our cabin to shower and get ready for dinner.
I was once again excited for dinner and this time I tried something new which was alligator bites it was pretty good but for entrée I had shrimp and lobster oh yum!! After dinner we headed back to our cabin to get ready for the concert but wanted to wear our Halloween costumes during so we didn’t have to worry about it later I finally gave in after awhile and changed and Casy did my the eye shadow on my make up :) I loved my costume but I should of thought bout how it’s all black I felt like I was invisible during the concert LOL (no joke) My photos were mostly dark so I just enjoyed the concert which is something I rarely do. I was so happy to see this show again since I only got to see it once during the US tour.
After the concert which seemed to go by so quick we headed back to the cabin to freshen up a bit, hang out and talked for awhile after tears and hugs we headed to Lido deck for Halloween night which was awesome to see a lot of fans dressed up. We was close by for the beginning I took a few photos but my photos were once again dark so I just left and I honestly cannot remember where I went or what I did heck I don’t remember the boys doing YMCA LOL and I only had two drinks this evening one at the concert and one at the theme party. It was like 2am when I realized how tired I was I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open but I wanted to see Nick at Nite but sadly I didn’t make it I got ready for bed and I could hear Nick djing from my bed LOL but eventually I passed out.
