Mexicoooooo!!!!

And on the 3rd day we Arrived in Ensenada. We got off the boat a regular time..Maybe 9? We didn't plan an excursion but wanted to walk around the town. They had buses at the port that took you into town but really we just walked. It wasn't far. Everything was in a 10 block area. We walked into town and shopped at a few shops, all basically having the same things. Every restaurant had guys out front trying to get you to eat there. Basically they got paid on how man people they got to go in to eat or drink. Well, we gave in to the the FREE drink's If it's your bday. So we went into one. Lisa and I got Margarita's ( mine was a free pineapple one ) and they other's got sodas. We left there and shopped some more. We were hungry So decided on this little place that had outdoor framed in seating. And glad we did. Basically THE BEST Mexican food I've ever had. I seriously ate it all! We all ( even Sherri who rarely drink's ) ordered Margarita's. Lisa ordered a Cadillac Margarita which is a regular with an extra shot. I jokingly mentioned they can totally add extra to mine to and I wont mind. Needless to say when they dropped off these HUGE drink's ( which were already pretty strong ) The guy ( who was very funny and super nice ) Came behind me and just kept pouring more and more tequila in mine. Thats what I get. On top of that Sherri didn't like her's much and Heather traded her's with her's but didn't like it so I drank it..I mean, It was good and I didn't want it to go to waste! After our very good meal and drink's we decided to walk it off a bit. until we stumbled across another bar. At this point I couldn't handle another but I didn't want to leave Lisa alone and I had to go to the bathroom so I went with her. And of course some how ended up with another drink. At this point we were headed back cause we had to get on the boat soon. On the way into the boat there's shopping of course so we stopped there. Lisa really wanted a vase but it cost to much so she had to think about it. After hanging around the ship for an hour she decided she wanted it so we went back out for it. And on the way we got free Tequila shots. Later, again getting back aboard we all decided to hit up the hot tub while we got ready to head out. It even rained a little while we were in it but it was a blast. I'd say Mexico was fun!

Catalina Island

Since Catalina is only an hour away we took the slow way to do it and then basically just parked there for the night. When we woke up we all got ready fast and headed into port via a little boat. We checked into our excursion for the day but had a little over an hour to wait. So we walked a bit into town and got a muffin. We headed back with 20 mins left and hung around for a bit. Soon a Hummer came to pick us up. Heather had a bad shoulder so she couldn't go but she said she enjoyed walking around the town. We headed up the hill in the hummer. Why do you ask? Ummm....Zip lining of course!! Serious bucket list. Always wanted to do this! And all of my friends were all about it! There was 6 zip lines we went down. 2 steep ones and 4 little's. It was pretty amazing and I SO can't wait to do it again! The worst part as it was HOT. Even more so up in the mountains. When we were done we walked down into town. We were hungry so we stopped for some food. By this time we didn't have a lot of time left before we had to get back to the boat. We all took showers and got ready. We had dinner in the dining room ( which at times was crazy and weird ) then headed to the nightclub on board. It was 11 when they closed it..Hmm..So we decided to hit up the Piano bar for a drink. And of course another late night buffet of french fries..

Day 1 of the bday cruise

After David dropped us off at the port we checked in. Thats when the Various very cheesy photo's began. We boarded with multiple pics taken then headed to our room. Which was conveniently located just down the hallway from the entrance. We dropped off our bags then headed up to the deck for drink's and the send off. Oh and of course the always fun safety drill....LoL. Well, we got to the pool deck and they had various drink's available for the departure. I doont even remember what I got but It was good. I had 2...
