Onboard Casino





Okay you know darn well we went to the Casino. Actually we both did quite well. The machines pay off in quarters. It really screwed up my manicure having to dig quarters out of those machines..but well worth it.

3 Ships in Cabo



There were three cruise ships docked in Cabo on Thursday. Jack and I went into a huge market near the pier and did some shopping. I like Cabo. It has a beautiful harbor full of yachts,fishing boats,jet skis etc...lots of activity. One cool thing we saw was a firefighter spray painted gold and standing like a statue in the square. Jack saw him move and we went over to talk to him and take a picture. He was raising funds for the Cabo San Lucas fire dept.

We didn't venture too far into the city itself. A few years ago on our cruise to Mexico we went on a timeshare tour (for the free liquor package) and saw a new development with million dollar condos overlooking the bay. I'd like to go back sometime and spend a few days exploring the city.

Home Again






Too tired to blog now but here are some pix of the ship. I'll add more later as well as some of Cabo etc.

At Sea

Hola: We spent the morning in Ensenada yesterday and it is a fairly yucky town. Back on board ship and headed to Cabo tomorrow. At sea today,beautiful weather and lotsa luck in the casino. Jack got his picture on the "Wall of Fame"...more on that later. Still eating waaay too much and the food is great.

In Ensenada!


Okay so this internet access is .55 cents a minute so Im makin it fast! We arrived in Mexico this AM around 7 and will be getting off ship in an hour or so. Last night we ate like pigs and played in the Casino (won $$!!). Our room is nice,the ship is beautiful however we don't think it's full. I'll have pix when I can download them and not worry about the $$$.

One More Work Day..Then Cruisin'!



I helped close the store last night with the Assistant Manager and we could'nt get the cash register to balance..argh Maybe today will be better.

Always good people watching in a mall.Met one young man from Northern Europe who is camping at Joshua Tree but headed to Washington. I told him about some good spots to visit while there but advised this isnt really the best time of year to be camping in the rain forest! Another young man with waist length hair,a skateboard and bracelets up and down each arm stopped for a cheese sample. During the course of conversation I told him I make braclets too and his response was "Oh these are for "Raves", are they the kind you make?" ( I believe a Rave is an all night dance party with electronic music and abundance of drugs)

So off to work for a few more hours and then home to finish packing for the cruise!

Living Room...so far




We still have to hide the cords coming down from the TV but we've started putting the room back together. With the 3rd couch gone there is much more room! We love the new carpet!
