If you EVER have the opportunity to see his show, I would highly recommend it (if you don't mind dry, sarcastic, dark British humor).

S&D V - Key West - Thursday 2/5/09 : Our ship was rerouted to Key West (seas were too rough to go to our original port of Great Stirrup Cay).  So Archie and I got to wander the streets of Key West for the day.  We stopped at "Mile Zero" on US Rte 1 to snap a few pictures, but we mostly sat in Capt Tony's Saloon, "The Oldest Bar in Florida".  We thought it was a neat place to just sit, hang out and have a beer (or two) with lots to look at.  I'd seen it on TV somewhere, people plaster their business cards, dollar bills, undergarments, signs, etc wherever they want.  So, we enjoyed just looking around.

BNL Ships & Dip  - BNL Show #2 : Their last show on board, and arguably their best show in YEARS (even according to those who have been to more than 4-5 in the past 8 years like Archie and I).   This experienced may have been heightened by our terrific seats - center stage (Steve side), five rows back.

BNL Ships & Dip  - Ocho Rios, Jamaica : We docked at Ocho Rios, Jamaica for the second stop on our cruise.  Archie and I took a small tour bus up to Dunns River Falls, which is sort of more of a touristy water park than a natural phenomenon to behold (though it is natural).  Still interesting to see and experience from afar (sort of).  My doctor told me specifically not to participate because of the risk of falling (generally not recommended for pregnant ladies), so we walked up the stairs/path along side.

BNL Ships & Dip Cooking Demo with Tyler & Kevin : Cooking/Grilling demo with Ted Reader, friend of BNL, assisted by Kevin and Tyler.  They made the ultimate cheeseburger.  It consisted of something like 7 grilled cheese sandwiches (instead of just buns) - some with hot dogs cooked into them, some not - fried eggs, pickles, onions, several varieties of cheese, bacon and don't forget about the Jack Daniels infused-hamburgers, oh, and lettuce and tomatoes for the health-minded among the crowd.  It was somewhat held up with some chopsticks inserted into the center, and assisted by Tyler.

Hosted by Tyler and Kevin, and joined a ways in by Ed (the video clip is when Ed arrived in the middle of one of the songs - I think it was called "Geese").
