I would have to say that 9 day cruises are not my favorite but at least that means there are two ports that I can get off on. Our first stop was in Nagasaki but none of us had time off so me and Kumiko thought we could do lunch off the ship. It was fun and we had some good food but since we were in a hurry I left my iPad at the restaurant! Oh wow was I freakin out... Luckily Japanese people are really nice and it was still there when I got back :) if I was in America that would have been gone the second I stood up lol. Anyway the next day we stopped in Miyazaki. Lucy, Beth, and I had the morning off so we decided to get up early and go find some Internet. Since we live in a dungeon we can't see what the weather is like so we were not prepared for the insane amount of rain we were about to embark on. We found a guy that spoke English and asked where there was shopping and Internet so he tells the taxi driver and we hopped in thinking she knew where she was going. After driving really far from the ship we all started and worry and try to ask where she was going. We ended up having her drop us off at McDonald's and thought we could figure out a way back. Walking seemed to be the best solution so while it was pouring rain we start walking down the street with no umbrella. There were times when I would just start laughing because I couldn't believe what we got ourselves into. There was even one point when we saw our taxi driver go by and she waived at us as if to mock that we didn't know what we were doing, and we really didn't. Haha well after stopping at a 7 11 and spending 80 dollars lol... We walked another 20 mins and still couldn't even see the ship. Then out of nowhere a car stops in front of us and rolls down the window to ask if we were ok. It was a miracle that someone felt bad for us. We must have looked really terrible. Turns out this girl Liz from Australia used to live in Miyazaki and was just there visiting some friends. She thought we were lost so she picked us up and took us back to our ship! It's always nice to know people still care about others. If it wasn't for Liz we would prob still be soaking wet walking in circles looking for the ship. That is just one of the many adventures that I have been having. Still can't help but think about an adventure I will be missing in a few weeks. If u didn't know my little sister is having a baby boy soon and I'm sorry to say I will be missing it :( I wish I could just go home for a few weeks to meet Moses. I hope everyone knows how much I miss them... Until next time here's to more adventures.
