Picture this.
As I type this me and my wife are laying out on a black sand beach, looking out over crystal clear water where the edge of the water meets with a rock cliff that rises 700 feet in the air. Oh! I almost forgot, we are also enjoyin a few adult beverages too. We are in Santorini, greece the home of the movie Mamma Mia, thats right Kendall. This has been a great day so far.
To be honest, I forgot what I updated you last on. Yesterday for the 4th we had an on board cookout and some pool games. We learned how to play Craps last night and I turned $100 into 235, but I played it a bit too long and only cashed out with $145. Still made back the money I had lost at blackjack earlier. Lol.
We are less than a week from coming home and while it will be nice to sleep in our own bed and see all of you, we are still dreadin comin home. We have bought all the souvenirs for everyone, which is great cause now all the money we have left we can blow on doing more awesome stuff. I think Rian wants to jetski, I'm in.
*beer break*
Jake, I can't wait to get back and do Ohsoyes again. I'm fiendin.
Sorry this is so short, that's what he said! I'm goin back to the beach.

Still havin fun. Countdown begins
Hello from the coast of Italy!
Since our last update we have done soooo much. We spent the day at The Ruins of Pompeii. It was very cool to see more ruins that have been around forever. It was crazy to think that 40% of the city is still under the ashes and has never been uncovered.
We also said goodbye to all the people that were only staying for 10 days, it was kinda sad. But while they were disembarking, we spent the entire day in Rome. We saw pretty much everything that we have ever wanted to see. We walked around for 5 hours and saw the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, Arch of Constantine, the Castle and of the amazing St. Peters Square. I was awe struck.
Today we are at sea traveling to Croatia. Yes, we all know what is going on in Athens and our captain has been keeping up to date and has assured us that he will not put us in danger. So don't sweat.
The Greek isles are coming up too and Rian is getting very excited.
We found a cheaper way to do these updates, so we may do them more often. It cost $22 the first time!
We love and miss you all!
The world travlers.
P.s. We played The Newly Wed Game here on the boat and WON! We got a free bottle of champagne. The next game is tonight but we are not sure if we are allowed to defend our crown. But it was really fun.
Also. I still have no idea what happened in he NBA draft. Which is crazy for me. But I do know that almost all American sports are on strike. Lol. Should be an entertaining fall/winter. (sarcasm)

This is awesome!
Hey everyone!
We are still having a fantastic time. I'm really glad that this cruise is much longer than a week, we are nowhere near ready to return home. Since we last wrote we have been on two topless beaches and had a great time at every port we have been to. It is too much to type now, but we are documenting everything in order to have a great account of this whole thing.
I (Elijah) bought a Barcelona futbal jersey, everyone over here has one and I had to get one. Rian bought herself some Amber necklaces, they are really nice. We have been eating a ton of food that we have never tried before and liking it all.
Today, we went to the ancient city of Carthage and learned about how many civilizations have destroyed and rebuilt that city. I stole a rock from the ruins, I know, but how cool is that going to be in the travel room?
Tomorrow is Palermo, Sicily. We are planning to just walk around the town and experience the culture. On a side note, we are becoming the boats most recognizable couple. From being the photographers' favorite muses, to telling two terrible jokes in the "best joke/worst joke" competition.
Caprara/Hedrick family: I still miss you, but I will stay here as long as possible. Justin and Sonia, I hope u are ready to sit through all of our stories, because if you don't we won't sit through yours in december! Lol. Tommy, hope u had fun Ohsoyes'n it.
Moses family: hey mom and dad. I feel like I've drank enough sangria for the both of you. Micia look up the remedies for a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. And Sonny when your of age I'll brin you to some of the beaches here, but onl if u wear a speedo. Lol
Jake: looks like everything is goin good. Hope your not too bored at the house. Make J-bone entertain you.
We love you all. We'll update you u all soon. Enjoy going to work tomorrow. Lol.
