We went on a cruise to Key West, Florida and the Bahamas! And of course I ended up entertaining on the cruise. When I heard they were looking for someone to play Elvis in their Legends show, I knew I had to audition for it. And I got the part! It was so much fun performing with dancers from Australia and England. The band was wonderful too. Everyone on the ship loved the show and called me \u201cElvis\u201d for most of the cruise. Little did they know that a more appropriate name would be \u201cElvis Chicken\u201d, ha!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0We explored Key West and learned all about the island. Did you know that Key West is home to the southernmost point in the United States? That was fun to see. We also learned about the classic American author Ernest Hemingway, and even saw his house. He had many six-toed cats, and their descendants are still at his house, most with six toes!<\/p>\n<p>Then we went to the Bahamas and went on a glass-bottom boat voyage. It was fun to see all the sea fish and even some sharks! I sang \u201cFunky Fish Party\u201d to them but I\u2019m not sure if they heard me. I also went snorkeling in Nassau, Grand Bahamas, which was amazing. The reef was so beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>The people in Key West and the Bahamas were super friendly. I highly recommend visiting them someday to learn about their beautiful homes.<\/p>\n<p>Your friend,<br \/>David<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1230 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/freeport\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Freeport-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1233\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1233'>\n\t\t\t\tFreeport, Grand Bahamas\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/keywest-island\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/keywest-island-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1235\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1235'>\n\t\t\t\tView of Key West from the ship\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/elvis-sing\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Elvis-Sing-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1232\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1232'>\n\t\t\t\tDavid singing as Elvis in the Carnival Legends show.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/elvis-dancers\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Elvis-Dancers-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1231\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1231'>\n\t\t\t\tDavid singing as Elvis in the Carnival Legends show.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/sea\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/sea-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1236\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1236'>\n\t\t\t\tView from our balcony!\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/2013\/09\/24\/cruisin-chickens\/key-west\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/davidchicken.com\/original-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Key-West-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1234\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1234'>\n\t\t\t\tKey West, Florida\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galloint friends!\u00a0 Just a little entry to tell you about a great vacation that Mama Chicken and I took recently.
