Girls' Cruise!

The post I'm sure you have all been waiting for is now here!  I got back Friday from our totally awesome trip.  This trip was full of fun and surprises at every turn.  We left last Monday and flew to LA.  The weather was warmer than expected, which was a great surprise, and we had no problem getting to the boat or onto it for that matter.  Our dinner reservations were a bit messed up, so Shelley and I promptly went to find the maitre d' (not our first cruise rodeo), who was able to fix the problem but did manage to drop my Sail and Sign card behind a podium, never to be found again.  Ever.  And for those of you who have never sailed, your Sail and Sign card is like your heart or brain on a cruise.  It opens your cabin door, it's how you pay for everything (except the casino, though you can do that now too) on the ship, and it's necessary to get off and on the ship.  So Guest Services hooked me up with a new card, and we were on our way!  Here's a peak at some of the fun.  There will be more posts to come because I got some great shots here and there!

This cruise line will get it's own post one day.
I have much to say, and most of it is good!

Catalina, CA

 Me and the sisty.
I have no photos with the besty, and it was her trip!

 In Ensenada, Mexico Tina and I toured a winery.  
At the winery they had a bull fighting ring.

 The winery was beautiful, 
and the wine tasting was great!

 Just in case you thought I stole the boat photo off the internet, 
here's proof I really was on a cruise ship--towel animal!!

 When the boat docked Friday we had time for a tour of LA.
Hollywood and all the touristy sights.  
It was great.  

Thanks, MB, for inviting me on your birthday trip.  I had a GREAT time!

Oh man - that was the best time ever! You should have tried out the bullfighting ring instead of tasting the wine.
Let's do it again!
