Today we were in Puerta Vallarta. It was a pretty great day. But it started out pretty slowly....last night we had our second show of the cruise called Band on The Run. It's a really fun show filled with songs like We Will Rock You, Lady Marmalade, and Boogie Nights. It is a really tiring show but its such a good time. Well anyways, we finished and afterwards we do a meet and greet....we get a free drink from the cruise director for doing meet and greet....well that turned into too many drinks and it was a late night. And this morning we had our weekly boat drill which is all of the crew practicing emercency procedures and abandon ship, etc. That was a fun wake up! So afterwards we got of the ship and took ... read more

So last blog entry I was still going about all the food in Mexico especially at this fair! It really was incredible, but of course I loved every part of it. I even think I enjoyed looking at all the food stalls more than seeing the dolphins jumping out of the water. We spent the whole day at the fair and met up with some class mates there, which was great, I then had company on all the amusement rides. However I think I may have out rode the other two girls, I made them come on this crazy ride and the faces they were pulling whilst on the ride were hilarious. A mixture of sending me daggers and turning green and all I could do was laugh, but I swear that was all because of ... read more

Today was THE most amazing day ever! Today was Puerto Vallarta. We started by taking a rhib to another part of Puerto Vallarta. The boat seemed so fragile - and really was, no shoes allowed. As the boat cruised across the water, we all held for dear life. They man operating the boat kept shuffling us around so that there was enough weight in the front of the boat to prevent it from flipping up at high speeds. I somehow ended up all the way forward holding on to the air filled walls of the boat for dear life. And this was only the warm up! Once on dry land our group boarded a small "bus." By bus I mean to describe a pick up truck circa 1955 with rails along the bed for us to ... read more

I went back to Vallarta on the 30th, with my friend Jozefien from Belgium, and we stayed at my friend Olivia's house. We went to the beach on the 31st.. just so we'd be nice and relaxed so we could stay out all night.. haha We started off with dinner at Olivia's house... With her dad, mom, and some of her mom's friends. Her dad is a really good cook (he's from Sweden, so we had a swedish-mexican meal. SO good.) and we finished it off with DELICOUS chocolate cake, yum yum. haha. There was also a guitar man that Gilda (say it Hilda... remember, your in mexico and G sounds like H) hired. When you're eating fabulous food, on the balcony, under the stars, with candles, and guitar/piano music.... basically you just realize that you ... read more

On our way home yesterday, I forgot to mention, we stopped at the Buddha Lounge, for a bebida and also for dinner, though... it turned out to be upscale USA pricing, so we didn{t stay for dinner. Instead, we went to this place around the corner called Redneck something and it was like... Mexican run but USA themed, but Mexican colored, Mexican priced, with USA food. It was kinda odd and not populated enough for me to be totally comfortable there. Anyway, the price was right... so Wendy ordered the Sausage Happy Special Dinner (or something along those lines), Matheu ordered BBQ rib dinner, and I got Filet Mignon dinner, medium. About the same time our ($7 a plate!) meals arrived, a local cover band came on and started off the night with Come As You ... read more
