Me Three

Well, you guys motivated me. I finally took the time to get my online registration FINISHED. I was mostly done, like you probably were. I must thank my Cruise Sistah #1 for getting hers done before me. I just had to put that my arrival flight info. was the same as hers, thus saving me a little time and effort.

Can't wait!!!

I'M DONE

I finished up my set sail pass a couple weeks ago. (right after Shelley booked the flights) I was pretty happy to do that, but I must not have informed you gals.

I'm more ready for this get away by the day!!! Let the excitement build!

Cruise Mothah

Work to do!

I'm not bragging or anything :), but I have done my on-line check in--since I have a passport number and flight info now. How are the rest of you coming along on that??? SL

Sunny Sunshine!

The weather here will be in the 70*s for the next couple of days and then we hit fall. Temps in the 60*s and even a 50*ish for the next ten days. So I checked, and Mazatlan will be in the high 80*s during that same time. That cruise just looks better and better. On the flip side, the harvest moon is beautiful at my house! SL

So Glad!

So glad someone out there is doing the math!! I too am sooooooooo ready! It's sad when I'm looking forward more to this than to Disneyland. Oh wait, could it be because I will only have to pack for and look out for me??? Can't WAIT! SL

Numbers and Girls

For your information, I've done the math. For those of us going to Vegas, we have 122 days left after today. For those meeting us in LA, we have 124 days. I don't know about all of you, but I am sooooo READY!!!!

A friend of mine is taking a "girls trip" this week. I can't be very jealous, cuz they are flying into LA on Friday and coming home Saturday night. They need to take a lesson from us on what a girls trip really is!

Wow!

Hard to believe that I took the best passport photo out of all of us--so far. It's up to you, Lib, to show us how it's done. My photo was fine, but when they copied it for the actual passport, they went closer up so I look all greasy! From a distance, it looks okay! :) SL

SPEAKING OF "BAD" PHOTOS--

I can't even recognize me in my photo. It's bad, bad. Chuck likes his-I think he needs new glasses!

Cruise Mothah

Speaking of photos...

Cruise Mothoh,

How did your passport photo turn out? SL

Count me in on the cliff divers. Sounds like fun. Libby, you will have to come with us because you'd be too bored and loney if we left you alone! Glad you got your passport, Shelley.

The Old Woman and the Hitman

I guess it is official. I AM cruising. Mine and Marty's passports arrived yesterday. (No worries, I'm still not inviting my BABYSITTER!) I look very old in my oh-so-beautiful photo. Marty, on the other hand, looks like a hitman for the mob. Hmm, maybe a new career awaits him so he will be able to continue sending me on fun trips!

By the way, SL, count me in for the Mazatlan thing!!!

Cliff Divers Part II

I'm bound and determined to see cliff divers!!!

This tour is through Royal Caribbean and is $34 per person (a bargain!) and about 4 hours long. Any takers? SL


Mazatlan Highlights & Folkloric Show


Start with a visit to the Inmaculada Concepcion Cathedral. In the distance view the second-highest natural lighthouse in the world before stopping to see the local cliff divers. In the Golden Zone you can browse the shops and then enjoy a 30-minute folkloric show including the Papantla Flyers.

This excursion will take you to see Mazatlan's most historic sights. Leaving the port your tour begins with a visit to the 19th century Inmaculada Concepcion Cathedral with its graceful facade of intricately carved volcanic rock. From a distance view the second-highest natural lighthouse in the world, El Faro, surrounded by scenic offshore islands and a spectacular oceanfront.
Continuing along the coast, there will be a brief stop at a rocky promontory to view the local cliff divers. Your drive continues past one of Mexico's grandest resorts, El Cid, before making your way to Mazatlan's “Golden Zone” and the opportunity to shop for Mexican and Indian handicrafts.
The highlight of your tour will be a special 30-minute folkloric show. As you enjoy a complimentary beverage, a local troupe dressed in colorful costumes will introduce you to songs and dances of ancient and colonial Mexico. View the Papantla Flyers display an aerial act, which has been passed down through generations and is truly a sight that is not to be missed.
At the conclusion of your tour you may stay in the Golden Zone and return to the ship independently, or return directly to the ship.
