Tuesday, July 22, 2008

OK , so its really Friday, July 25, 2008 but here it goes:
Cabo San Lucas Day – Totally slept through the landing greeting, managed to get up around 10 am and managed to get up and April , Steve and I off the ship. Turns out that Andrew followed us a few minutes later. April lasted all of about ½ hr and she and Andrew managed to go back to the ship. It was too darn hot.

I think I mentioned on the thread that before we left, Steve and I ate at Pluto’s Playhouse. As we were eating, I looked to my left and managed to see a couple parasailing together, well, the boat must have been having problems because they hit the water and went completely under for a split second. They bobbed to the surface because of their life vests but that was so surreal because I told Steve – “Oh Look, there getting their feet wet.” Then WHAM! They got all wet. Turns out it took about 10 minutes for another boat to come rescue them and then they switched everyone on the original boat over to the rescue boat and then hauled the original boat via a rope. It was weird. Just another thing to add to this cruise. They sure are piling up.

Steve and I went shopping and managed to pick up my fish extender gifts. I liked them. Not sure how the people I gave them too will since they have to carry it off! ROTFL
So we finally head back to ship about 5 and made in back in plenty of time so I didn’t have to panic however, I did have on my manuel watch. Turns out that Andrew’s friends had a similar problem with their phone that I had on the May repo. Megan, already aware of what had happened had switched her phone to manual alert before changing time zone. So she just kept it on ship’s time. But the key word here was that she was alert.

Megan and Yesenia decided to do sea and snorkeling and the two Bobbsey Twins said they were rushed. They took 25 minutes to hayak over, they were rushed through the snorkeling area, rushed onto Lover’s Beach for photo ops and then rushed back. They were the last ones everywhere but she said she didn’t get time to enjoy anything but that they had a good time. Yeah – they came back beet red. For both of them being ½ to full Mexican – they sure did burn! LOL

Anyway, the girls decided they wanted to do a miniature bar crawl so Steve took the bowls which we were carrying back to the ship) I took the girls to Giggling Marlin, which was totally dead and I found a critter crawling over my beans, so I returned them but when the guy came back with another same bowl decided to let it go because I wasn’t sure that he didn’t just pour more on top the original bowl. Hey – what’s a little protein right?
So we decided to wander and finally found Cabo Wabo. Steve rejoined us at this time and I sent them into Cabo Wabo for a requisite tequila shot. My plan isn’t working – to ply Megan with drinks till she gets sick. Came close one time but it hasn’t yet. Hm…….makes me wonder if she hasn’t already practiced. ROTFL – yeah right!

Anyway, as I said, uneventful night.

Rest was a bit boring except for some minor griping from all of us about how the service is lacking. This it the 3rd night we’ve gone with out salt and pepper on the table. So if it happens again, we are planning something. More later.

Bye – Laura
