Christmas Present Help

[bigred76]

OK, so... I have been asked to find a present for myself for under $500 that I would use on a cruise to Mexico. Already looked at camera lenses and found one I wanted, and the GF agreed to until today, that I would actually be able to use and enjoy on the cruise. The new idea MUST be something I can use and would enjoy on the cruise. I already have a laptop, headphones, external hard drive, 12gb of SD cards, decent camera set-up (Canon EOS Rebel XSi, 18-55mm IS F/3.5-5.6, 55-250mm IS F/4-5.6, and 50mm F/1.8), tripod (Bogen Manfrotto, I love it), bag for the camera and stuff, clothes, and money set aside for bar-hopping in Mexico (where I'm perfectly legal to drink ). The lens I had picked out was a Sigma APO 70-200mm EX DG HSM F/2.8, and would have been perfect for the cruise... the only other camera stuff I can even see me wanting/using (not on the cruise, though) are a Tamron AF 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) lens, a 2x Teleconverter (brand's up in the air between Sigma and Canon at this point), and a Canon Speedlight 430EX II. The problem with those two is that they're not quite far enough reaching for what I want on a cruise to Mexico.

Any ideas? Right now I can't find anything else I'd need for this trip that I WANT and would USE. Because it must be used on the cruise, this means no paintball items, as much as I know exactly what I want on that aspect.

a watch or a pair of Oaklys? idk, that's all I can think of right now

[bigred76]

Have two watches, a Croton and a Fossil. Also wear prescription glasses, so sunglasses would be a royal pain in the ass.

Dive lessons? Alot of cruises have dive excursions for those guests that are certified, and mexico has alot of dive sites that are pretty spectacular

[bigred76]

I don't care for diving, really. I can't wear those stupid-ass goggles you have to wear anyways and can't breath out of your nose..

$500 worth of balloons so that you can make your own ride and float around behind the ship as you go...

The ship should have other excursions. The wife and I did a 4 x4 trip during our stop in cozamel. They took us off roading in jeeps then to a private island for the day, then a little off roading on the way back. What stops are you making? there should be a few side trips you can make. Or make a deal with you GF, you get to use it in the casino onboard and what ever you win you get to spend how ever you want.

Just don't bring the camera into Mexico... or at least with too many lenses... don't want it to come up missing when you're captured and sold.
