his solemn promise, on several occaions, not to jack up new taxes.Now I know
what you re saying: Dalton McGuinty s promises usually come with shelf lives,
many of them so short they expire almost the minute he delivers them.And he
could pull one of his favourite tricks and declare that a tax hike on the rich
isn t really a tax hike, it s a new fee, or a levy, or a temporary surcharge, or
a fair share deficit reduction contribution even though it wasn t going to be
used to reduce the deficit.McGuinty has a very generous attitude when it comes
to the actual definition of taxes.But most of all, the NDP plan just feels old
and cobwebby, like Miss Haversham in her wedding dress.As if the NDP has been
slumbering peacefully in its corner for a generation or two, without bothering

star and a lingerie model love each other very, very much, they have a
baby.Other times, they just dress up in monkey-fur masks and pretend to hump
each other for fancy W Magazine photoshoots.But in the case of Bruce Willis and
wife, Emma Heming, it s baby news that they re celebrating today.The couple
welcomed a daughter, Mabel Ray Willis, this Sunday in Los Angeles, and as their

the Miami harbour for boarding, however, I’m struck by the fact that the cruise
ships are lined up like behemoth cabs at a taxi stand, the sum total of these
passengers equalling a small city.but this time I’m trapped on a boat,

from expert cruisersDAY TWO (sea day)The two opposing poolside bars, the Red
Frog Rum Bar and the Blue Iguana Tequila Bar, are designed to be playful
enemies, goading each other on with contests and bell-ringing.It’s a fun
manufactured rivalry, but as I stand above them on a deck, I’m reminded that
we’re in international waters and this could very well become a Crips vs.One Red
Frog Molatov cocktail and we’re all done for.I back away from the pool, slowly,
Everybody Dance Now pounding from the deck speakers.DAY THREE (Cozumel)Our first
excursion!It feels good to leave the boat, like how Columbus probably felt when
he hit West India or whatever.But, as we step off, it becomes obvious that we’re
simply standing on the land tentacle of the cruise
ship

filled with mucho quality items for us to buy.It is a tiny town of trinkets and
duty free.Luckily, our excursion takes us away from all of this and we end up at
a beach with hammocks and Bob Marley cleaving the air all around us, rapid-fire
repeat reggae.DAY FOUR (Belize)The Marley hammocks of yesterday were fine, but
returning to the ship still left me feeling, well, sad.Adrift in the sea of
burgers and margaritas.Today’s excursion, however, changed all of that.A more
active outing in Belize had Jessica and I ziplining through the jungle and
tubing through mammoth Mayan-touched caves.It was fun, invigorating and
informative.It was false, yes, but it was a falseness flanked by physicality and
history that made it feel like something, and by the time we climbed back on
board our ocean home we were spent.The deck called to us, the burgers beckoned,
and I settled in with a sunset and a book and satisfaction.You have to earn your
cruise.People on this ship earned their cruises.They saved their money to have a
week to do as little as they want.here for free, the last person in the world
who could say they’ve earned the right to relax.But with a full day of activity
under my belt, I can say that, today, I earned the cruise.Why don’t you just
throw up?This is Jessica’s horrible attempt to solve my bacchanalian stomach
situation as I waddle with her back to our room.It seems that the day’s excesses
have caught up to me, the high point being surf and turf at Harry’s Steakhouse,
the only dinner option aboard the Liberty that costs extra.A stroll, later on,
out to the deck and we’re hit with a hopping party, dance tunes blaring.The
crowd of partiers is so varied that it’s as if we’ve crashed a giant wedding
where the dress code was shorts, muscle shirts and burnt skin.DAY SIX (Grand
Cayman)Today I found my favourite spot aboard our ship, the library: a tasteful
little room cut off from the music filled with books and games tucked away in
glass cabinets.Somebody with far more cruise experience told me that there’s
something for everyone, and this may be my something.There’s a heated game of
dominoes underway, and a disting.
