Dear Joseph,
Greetings from the Caribbean Sea. We're having a 1 good/terrible time aboard the Tropicana cruise ship. Th e ship is 2 ugly/amazing . Th ere's a 3 fun/boring video arcade for Taylor and an indoor playground for the twins with 24-hour supervision, so it's 4 dangerous/safe . On the top deck of the ship, Marissa and I prefer the waterslides. At fi rst, it was 5 tough/easy because we had to climb so many stairs, but in the end we had a wonderful time. Taylor didn't want to go on the waterslides, because they were high and 6 fun/scary .
Yesterday evening, we all went to the spa for a 7 frightening/relaxing hot stone massage. It was 8 great/bad . During the massage, I had an excellent idea. When we return from holidays, I'm buying an electric massage chair for the whole family.
Best regards, Ben
