We ate at a Mexican restaurant at The Cliff, then we went in the hot tub for a little while, then went back to the room and played games. It was a BLAST!! Thanks for the good time guys.

Hot Tub

It was a big hot tub, but there was literally 25 people in it! Crazy

Kevin being a dork!

Chris was being even a bigger dork. He pulled his swim suit up under his shirt

so it looked like he wasn't wearing any pants. It was pretty funny!

Cruising the Mexican Riviera...or so we thought!

WARNING: FYI -THIS IS A LONG STORY & A TON OF PICTURES

(mostly so we can remember these crazy memories.)

Okay so Kevin and I have been looking forward to going on this cruise to Mexico for MONTHS now. We were so stoked when the day actually came and we could pack our bags and get on the plane. Our good friends Natalie and Chris meet us in LA where we got on the boat and started our vacation. When we got on the boat Sunday we had heard a little about the swine flu in Mexico but nothing to serious yet. We were at Sea Sunday and Monday, then on Tuesday we arrived in Mexico at Cabo San Lucas. We took a glass bottom boat taxi on a tour of the area then spent the day at lovers beach and just hung out in the sun. We tried to snorkel a little bit, then I got stung on the arm by a jellyfish. We noticed a lot on jellyfish in the water and on the sand, a lot of people got stung that day. My arm looked like a big red welt and felt like it was stinging, and burning pretty bad. Everyone said the best thing for jellyfish stings is pee. I could not quite pee on my arm, so Kevin peed on the sting. It was disgusting and so funny. It actually stung a lot worse at first, then seemed to get better. I guess unless you have vinegar or ammonia. That is the only other option. (gross!!) Then we went back into town and ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant walked around all the shops, then we got back on the boat. The Captain came over the intercom and told us the swine flu epidemic was getting to bad in Mexico and being spread to the US and that the government was not allowing us to port in Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta as planned. He said they were trying to think of another place we could port and would let us know when they decide. We of course were so bummed, but also hoping that we didn't catch the swine flu when we were in Cabo. Later the Captain told us they decided to turn around and go to San Francisco for a day. We were at sea again for Wen and Thur and arrived in San Francisco on Friday Morning. Those days at Sea were hard and kinda boring because it was cold out and 55 mph winds so we could not really play on the top deck outside with the pool, sports court, rock wall etc. We felt cooped up in the ship all day. We played bingo a lot. In San Francisco it was pouring rain, we went to Pier 39 shops and got a few things. We picked up an umbrella and some hoodies, Our friends Chris and Natalie decided to fly home from San Fran because they did not want to get back on the boat for one more "Fun day at sea". Kevin and I also wanted to fly home but it was going to cost us a lot extra to switch our flights so we decided to stay. We took a trolley tour around the city, went to the wax museum, got some lunch, and went to Chinatown. We ended up enjoying San Francisco, what a cool city! We got back on the boat that night went to watch karaoke got in the hot tub. The next day was Saturday we were at sea all day again we played bingo twice this day trying to win the $7000.00 jackpot (we didn't win) and Kevin played in a dodge ball tournament and threw the ball all the way overboard the ship and got his whole team out. haha it was way funny. We got into LA Sunday morning and flew home. We were so thankful to be on land and not at sea and so thankful we did not catch the swine flu. Overall it was a pretty fun trip, amazing fod and great service. It was definitely not what we were expecting. Turned out to be just really bad timing, but it was out of every ones control and you really can't plan for those things. We just hope we can plan a nice tropical vacation soon.
