Good day everybody,
I know Metal Trek was neglected worse than a Glam Metal band during the late 90's, but I finally got an update of "Hellacious" proportions.
Metal Trek presents Barge to Hell, Day 1.
My day started waking up with an unusual feeling of anticipation as I double checked all my belongings I prepared the night before to make certain I had everything I needed to embark on the first edition of Barge to Hell. I packed the usual items needed for a cruise (Passport, confirmation paper, sun tan lotion, boardshorts, regular shorts and jeans, my Chuck Taylor All Stars & sandals, shirts (my tie dye Metal shirts finest hour), skull dress shirt, and some new sunglasses and a special hat I built for this cruise (more on these later)).
This was my first time on a Metal cruise as the previous editions of 70,000 Tons of Metal (same organizers for both cruises) I wasn't able to make it, and to this day I kick myself in the ass for "missing the boat" (pun intended). This was also my redemption for missing the first 70,000 Tons of Metal.
I found my way to the Metromover (a free method of public transportation near downtown Miami) after parking my car and got off the station nearest to the Port of Miami. I walked my way to the bridge and saw the vessel that was going to be called home for the next 5 days, the Majesty of the Seas.
