oh boy! it really sucks being sick after such a fantastic trip! although a little vacation, we did it in a big way. we had so much fun on our cruise it's ridiculous. no really. SO MUCH FUN. this was for one of my friends birthdays so four of us lovely women took a weekend - kid free! first the three of us from southern utah made our trek out to california thrusday (23rd) and made pretty great time. friday we spent the morning getting ready then made it to long beach before we ate. boarded the boat by 3. had some great fun out on the boat! a lot of laying around by the pool. we watched shows at night and goofed around a whole bunch. pool was too cold to swim, and the hot tub should have been called the warm tub. the showers were small and dangerous at times (when the boat rocked the wrong way). the comedians were somewhat funny and the cruise director had these green eyes that were superhuman. here is a more detailed breakdown of our happenings on the cruise... skip to the end if you just want to see some pics...
we left long beach friday night around 6ish after the "in case we sink" training. we missed waving to the people at port - if there were any, so we waved at the shrinking lights. that night we explored around a bit and participated in a little trivia and dance routine. we won some carnival medals for being awesome! my sister participated in jeopardy and should have totally won, but came close. it was pretty entertaining. she then won 250 bucks at bingo... she's was on fire!
saturday morning we made port in ensenada. we layed out by the pool all day talking some girl talk and enjoying some virgin strawberry daiquiris. tried our hand at bingo again with no luck. after we went to check out the gift shops right off the boat. we went back to the room and got ready for our fancy dinner. the boat left ensenada around 6ish. our table was with some girls that were there for a bachelorette party. after that we changed back into our normal clothes and went to check out the "inspiration dancers." holy moly they were too inspirational for us so we went to check out some other things. hit up the comedians and then headed back to the room to goof off and get some sleep.
sunday was just a day at sea. we did a lot of the same things we did on saturday. sat around and goofed off on the boat. it was nice to not have to worry about what we were going to do next too often or worry about where our kids might have ran off too. all four of us haven't felt that free in a while. that evening we tried the dancers again, but it was the same results... we stayed this time though. we wandered around the boat checking out the different hot spots and things.
monday was a sad day when we had to leave. we got off the boat by 8 and headed back to my sister's so her hubby could go to work. we had to drive back that night also, heading into a storm and sad that the good weather didn't follow us. our cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling so much on the trip.
i luckily took tuesday off to recuperate, but ended up SUPER SICK. i hadn't been that sick in a really long time, or ever. i ended up having to take another day off of work, and should have taken even another one.
but anyway. what a great time spent with great people! can't wait to do it again one day!
