* It wasn't an official whale-watching trip -- it was a snorkeling trip in Hawaii, but one of the benefits was that they took you past places the whales would be and would stop and search for them, and stall any time we found one so that we could all... well, watch. Which is why I'm counting this as done.
Hee. "The Smmer of Excessive Drinking and Inappropriate Behavior." I've had one of those. All that's missing is U. ;)
