We've been talking about going on a cruise for the past 3 years and finally did it. All I can say is I can't believe it took us so long. It was incredible--especially for the cost. The food, entertainment, ship's amenities, and people were fantastic. Of course Mexico was a blast and reminded us of the DR. It was relaxing, adventurous, new, and fantastic (I keep saying fantastic mocking the cruise director becuase he said "fantastic" every 5 seconds!)
Dinner! We tried duck, lamb, lobster, escargot and a dozen desserts. Amazing!
We went scuba diving for our first time since getting certified. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever done in my life. The water was crystal clear and our divemaster caught puffer and blowfish for us to hold and touch. We pet different sting rays, saw eels and all sorts of tropical fish. Jimmy ran out of air underwater and remembered his training from 3 years ago and continued his dive, buddy breathing with the dive master. I can't wait to go again!
In Cabo we also did the Zip line excursion. There were 8 zip lines and the longest was over a half a mile long across a huge cliff. It went 50 mph.
We were super sweaty! It was so hot! Jimmy also got to meet Pete Rose who chickened out at the last minute from going on the zip lines.

The casino. Nope--didn't spend a dime.
If you've served a foreign mission you know that Coke in another country is so much better! Why? Because they use real sugar and there is nothing like that cold, glass bottle against your lips on a hot day. Jimmy LOVED this moment!
I loved this mural! And I matched!
Puerto Vallarta city
If I could capture the smell here I would. It made us very nostalgic for the DR. It's humidity + sweat + diesel fuel. Sounds weird but we loved every minute of it!
Sunset in Puerto Vallarta
I thought this sign was funny: Do not introduce the fingers
Meet Natalie. We hung out with her and Jen at this pool a lot. She and Jen stuck alcohol onto the ship in a listerine mouthwash bottle and this contact saline solution bottle. I had to snap a shot of her in action.
Pina Coladas in our room
Eating escargot for the first time--not too bad
One of the formal nights
They would fold our towels every day into some cool creature. This was my favorite--the lobster.
Playing mini golf
This was the group we ate dinner with every night and hung out with a lot. So fun!
Our first 10 minutes on the cruise ship in Longbeach--ready to go!
