cruise!!!

About a month ago i called jacki one night and asked if she wanted to go on a cruise with me...she said 'sure' and 2 days later we booked a cruise to catalina and encinada. Our goal was to relax, have fun and not do much of anything. We definitely did all that. And mostly laughed so hard we cried. This first one is of us in the airport in Pheonix on a layover, it was 8am and we'd already been awake for 4 hours....long day.
The second day was a "fun day at sea". And indeed it was a fun day at sea. It was formal night that night so here i am all glammed up! The third day was Catalina. All there really is to do is shop so we only spent about 3 hours there, but it is really really pretty and we found some cute stuff.


The 4th day we went to Encinada. The actual city itself is pretty dirty and gross but we luckily did what people suggested and took a bus up through the mountains to the blow hole. The drive was gorgeous and it was real cool to see. We also were able to do some real good mexico shopping their. With our blonde hair we attracted a lot of attention and had guys ask to have their pictures taken with us.



Okay so this last picture is my favorite picture...possibly of all time. If you have ever been on a cruise you know how they take cheesy pictures every night. Well the whole time jacki and i tried to get the cheesiest picture we could. Finally the last picture of the last night we got it. When we saw it we both fell down laughing. I had to buy it!

Sounds like FUN! I'm glad you had a chance to get away and relax with a good girl friend. I hope you found some great deals while you were in Mexico. When I was growing up we went down to Mexico every summer for back to school shopping.
