**2011 Pre-Cruise Wylee Party**
I am back from BSB Cruise 2011 and I don't even know where to start! I have to get photos onto Facebook, videos onto YouTube, and review the best four days ever. I am so glad that I took today off because I needed the break! Most of my travel mates had to go back to work today and I truly feel for them. After four straight nights of 2-4 hours of sleep and standing on our feet for hours, I know I had reached the point beyond exhaustion. And even with 14 hours of sleep last night, I will be doing all of my computer work right from my comfy bed today....which is not swaying nearly as much as last year.
So many amazing things happened on this trip and I don't want to forget any of it. I know there will be so many reviews out there and mine will be yet another. I'm not going to review every little detail...just the big stuff and the most memorable for me.
I flew into Ft. Lauderdale and had to wait about and hour and a half for Cory's flight to land. I couldn't believe I had made it to Florida and that I was going to spend four days with the Backstreet Boys. With the cruise being one day shorter this year i was going to make every moment count. Cory landed and we caught our shuttle to Miami. Laura, Anne Marie, and Jen were going to be driving down to Miami from Florida, where they had just spent the last five days at Disney. Cory and I walked down the street to McDonald's and had a quick lunch and then explored the shopping area and the art exhibit by our hotel. The girls finally arrived and it was time to finally start getting ready for the night of festivities. We would start by attending the Wylee Party, grab a quick bite, and then go to the BSB Pre-Cruise Party so we knew we had to dress in our best clubbing clothes before we left.
I had lost about 8 pounds for the Cruise and don't normally get super dressed up but I decided to go all out for this. We got to the Eden Lounge a few minutes later than we wanted to but still had to wait for the Wylee Party to officially open. We saw Brian through the glass and couldn't wait to get in. There were a few Hold It bags that I wanted to buy for the cruise and I couldn't wait to see Brian. There were not as many girls there as I expected but I doubted he was going to be able to mingle much even though the security guard said they would be around to. Brian, Leighanne, and Jodi were frantically selling the Wylee merchandise in the dark and the "line" was moving so slow due to the fact that girls would buy their merchndise and then stay at the front to talk to Brian and get photos. I hoped I would be able to buy my merch. I eventually got up to the table and new exactly what I wanted. Leighanne was the one to help me. I was able to purchased my Leigh Leigh Hold It but the Danny Hold It had been sold out. So, I decided to buy the Vintage B shirt instead, which I had been debating buying since it came out. I had my wallet out so that I could pay and realized that I needed to show Brian because it was University of Kentucky. He slightly walked over to me and complimented me...but it wasn't on my Uk wallet....he complimented me on my necklace (thanks to the girl at Body Central who helped me with that one)! He said he also like my wallet. I told him how upset I was going to be because I was going to be missing the UK v. UNC game on Saturday (those were the teams ranked #1 and #2 in case you didn't know). He said that he was also going to miss the Georgia championship game. I have to remember that he lives in Georgia now but he will always be a Wildcat in my eyes! While I was paying Jodi for my purchase, I heard the security guard tell them they would have to shut down in 30 minutes and then they would do photos. As soon as I paid I let the girls that we could not leave until this happened.
Eventually the shut sales down so that Brian would be able to get photos with everyone there! I had never been a Wylee Party where there were that many girls there and he was going to take photos. I was in heaven. We were towards the back of the line and I prayed that they wouldn't cut the line off before we got to him. He looked good that night and I was dressed to impress. He had already complimented me and it looked like he was giving hugs to every single person that he was doing a photo with. I was totally going to ask for Huggie Pose because I wanted to be extra close. As I walked up to him he said "Hey Kentucky Girl." That totally made my day even though I had just talked to him only thirty minutes or so earlier. The fact that I had made that impression on him made me so happy. I asked for Huggie Pose and he gladly obliged.
This was already turning out to be a great night. I knew I had at least a photo with the Backstreet Boys coming up at the Pre-Cruise Party but I didn't know what else to expect at the party. Whatever it was, I was going to enjoy it and make the most of it. We had left the patio portion and then realized that we didn't get photos with Leighanne. We tried to go back in but were stopped by security. It was worth the try. The University of Kentucky game against St. John's was on so I watched part of that as some of the girls said their goodbye's to others. Brian and a game in on night....i'll take it!
