Bunny w/ Rum Punch
Okay, Bunny didn't make this trip. I forgot to bring Bunny. I almost went and bought another "photo-frend". This is our upgraded balcony.So we went on our first cruise. It was a short 2 day repositioning cruise from Vancouver to LA on the Island Princess. Just enough to get a taste of this way of travelling. We had lots of fun but it was just a little too relaxed for us. There were a surprising number of activities but line-dancing and trivia aren't normally on the top of my list for things to do. (Yes, I went line-dancing!!)
We spent the days wandering around the ship, napping, eating and the aforementioned line-dancing. We even went to afternoon tea and a champagne art auction. I fell in love again with Michael Goddard art. Still couldn't justify spending $$ for a piece even though it was a great deal. Maybe one day when we have more than 8 walls to hang things up on.
Food was plentiful if a little bland. We went for a midnight snack at the buffet just because we could. Another night we ordered in to watch the sunset from our balcony. Luckily, I didn't get a chance to overindulge because the seas were a little rough the first day so I was feeling a little seasick. I couldn't
Sunset from the Balcony
It was nice to not have to fight for deck chairs. figure at first why I was staggering around at noon and was trying to figure out if I'd started drinking but forgotten.
Every night there were very good shows and we timed it watch both shows. My favourite was a shortened version of "The Piano Man". I think R's was the "Tribute" night were they started out with tributes to the Rat Pack. There was music, comedians and even a magician. All to soon we pulled into port at LA.
On to Vegas, baby!
