California November 2008

There was a big fire in California the day we were to leave for the cruise, the freeway into Long Beach was closed, so over 70 people were delayed. The nice captain of the ship was kind enough to hold the ship for most of the people. Instead of leaving at 3:00 we left about 9:00 pm. It was absolutely wonderful being able to leave at night. The reflection of the lights on the water was stunning.

We got into Long Beach a day before leaving on the cruise. We walked all over Long Beach - our hotel was only a few blocks from the ocean. We went to the Long Beach Aquarium and had a great time. The photo above is of a sea horse. It looked just like a plant. I think the seahorse and the jelly fish were my favorites.

We had lunch in the Harbour Village in Long beach. The ships and lighthouse were so beautiful!


Scott with Zoltar the Fortune Teller.....I think his fortune was that he would have a fabulous week on the cruise...it was correct.....We had a great time!

Mexico Cruise

Last November Scott and I went on our first cruise ....I didn't know how to put photos onto my blog....actually I don't think I had this blog yet....Anyway....We went to Matzalan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. It was a wonderful and relaxing and we hope to go again in the future!

We took a boat tour out to the Island that famous Director John Houston owned and filmed the movie Night of the Iguana. Also where Elizabeth Taylor fell in Love with Richard Burton during the filming of the movie.
We had a fabulous lunch here, got to see the jungle close up and some of the original home. Also we saw monkeys, parrots, iguanas and other wildlife. We had a wonderful lunch right next to the ocean, went swimming and hiking and took some great photos...and of course laid back and took a nap after taking photos of our feet!

I think this photo was in Puerto Vallarta on our boat ride to the island


Check our the beautiful parrot on my shoulder!! It was so beautiful!



I would love to live here!!!
