Bingo Game #78 Cruise Ship Bingo

Alrighty........

Cruise Bingo Day 1

This was a trip we have been planning for over a year. Its to celebrate my mom turning 80 later this year. She originally wanted all of her boys (I'm the oldest of 4 boys) to go with her on the trip....but my brothers are buttheads and couldn't be bothered to get with the program. So I took my mom on a cruise. Leaving out of Galveston Texas and stopping at Cozumel Mexico, Roatan Honduras and Costa Maya Mexico. Plus we added on a few extra days in Houston and Galveston before the cruise for additional fun and excitement.

Planning took place over the past year as shore excursions were researched and the local areas were looked into. We discovered that the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers would be playing on the days when we were visiting the area and tickets were purchased and I was thrilled to be able to cross off another ballpark from the list. I'm trying to visit all of the major league ballparks....so that's a bonus for me.

Also got tickets to go to the Johnson Space Center outside of Houston. I've always been a NASA geek and this would complete visits to the Big 3 (Kennedy, Johnson, Marshall) and all in less than 2 years.

I love researching trips. I will go to Google maps and zoom in on areas and just explore and find unique things to see and do. Granted....my finds sometimes get rejected but I make notes and look up different places and sights. I find the research to be half the fun.

So there ya go........that's what got me to Galveston Island Texas on a hot, humid day in mid May.

How about a few Bingo numbers?

Also.......as I stated in an earlier post.....Eric gets a bonus call as he so generously aided me with putting up the sign up sheet. @EMG06

So....Eric of the Smarty-pants variety.......what additional Bingo call would you like to bestow upon the Cruise Ship Bingo crowd? (but before you do.....let me remind you that you're trying to form an X on your card and no N's are being called.......I have to say this out loud......trust me. Those of you that know why....know why.)

Um...... @EMG06 ????

I guess his bonus number will have to wait for another day. Bingo Mob.....direct your anger and blood-lust at Eric.
 
Well gang.......Day 1 has come to an end. 4 numbers were called....all out in the open. No chance of missing them or going cross-eyed trying to find them in a complicated math riddle of diabolical proportions.....just easy peasy Bingo.

Head on back tomorrow when we'll land in Texas and kick off our vacation extraordinaire.
 
I don't see that rule anywhere
No, not a rule..... it's precedent. A standard which has been set by previous games.
plus I'm the Bingo Wizard Mr. Constable
True. I guess if you're just going to be lawless and let players do whatever they want, then if I was Eric, I'd wait until I was one away from Bingo before making my bonus call! 🤣
Don't make me turn you into something unnatural.

So while you are all arguing, I was eating Pinchos (pollo con salsa BBQ) from a kiosko on a beach in Luquillo

So once I get back from PR I’ll make my call, if that’s ok @heysi

(Call will be on Monday June 8th)

See....Eric is a reasonable guy and I assumed his absence was not without explanation. His Bonus call was technically already unprecedented as it was announced over a week before the game started. And hey....the guy that celebrates innovation and rule bending in this game is now giving me the business? We're gonna have to label you the Grumpy Constable.

I'm going to let Eric's bonus call stand. Monday it is.....but it will need to be before I make my calls that day. 3 days worth of calls before that bonus is acceptable....but 4 is pushing it.
