After dinner while still in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to deliver our fish extender gifts.  For those that don’t know what fish extenders are, they are a pocketed hanging decoration that you hook on the fish by your door (a decoration next to the stateroom door) that extends the fish.  The fish is used by [...]

Today we woke up in Puerto Vallarta.  Of all the places in Mexico that I have seen, this is one of the two best!  The mountains were covered with lush greenery, it looks so beautiful!  Today is the day that I am going to ride a burro, zip line and rappel.  When I told Bill [...]

Have you ever wanted to experience a hurricane? Did you ever wonder what it was like? I can remember watching the weathermen on TV trying to stand during a hurricane and wondered what it really felt like.  I moved here to FL the summer of four hurricanes.  I was educated quickly about hurricanes.  Now everyone [...]

Packing to go away on vacation is pretty straightforward. Figure out if you will do laundry or not then pick out the number of outfits to make it that long, a few toiletries and you’re all set! But not for a cruise! Granted you still need clothes and toiletries, but there’s so much more to [...]
