The Shell Shop

Funny cruise story:

Holly collected quite a few shells and shell fragments from the beach in Mazatlan. On the last sea day of the cruise, Holly and I cleaned all the shells. Later that evening, Holly announced the opening of "The Shell Shop". She meticulously arranged all of the shells and shell fragments.

At 11:00pm, I told Holly to put away the shells because she had to go to bed. (Yeah, I know it was late but we were packing.) She complied with the request. Once we were all squared away in our respective beds for the evening, Holly announced that we shouldn't be alarmed if we heard her get up. She planned on opening "The Shell Shop" very early the next morning. Randy inquired about the opening time. She replied "around 1:00am".

Needless to say, "The Shell Shop" didn't open at all the next day. We were too busy getting off of the ship and spending 12 hours at Disneyland.

I did make an inquiry about "The Shell Shop" upon our return to Denver. I asked Holly if it should be called "The Shell Shop" if we were not allowed to purchase any of the shells. It really seemed to be more of an exhibition. "The Shell Shop" has now been renamed "Sea Adventure". I'll have to get back to you on the exact hours later.
