Spring means it's the last season to go through while I'm on the ship! We now officially have just under 2 months left, and we're all counting down the days. Gotta finish this Mexico cruise, one more long Hawaii cruise, and then a month in Alaska and we head home from Vancouver! I'm sure it will be the longest day, waiting to get home with who knows how many connecting flights and delays and whatnot. But it will be here soon enough!
In the meantime, I'm just trying to find activities and little things to look forward to for each cruise, especially now that Eric left. I went snorkeling for the first time in Cabo San Lucas, and it was so much fun! We took an hour-long boat ride and seals were everywhere. Then we got to see a few whales pretty close as we headed to Santa Maria cove. The fish were so close when I went snorkeling, and I got some fun pictures (but no sea turtles, boo). And when I was swimming back to the boat I got stung by a little jellyfish; it just felt like a bee sting though. Then they served us a light lunch (including chips and guac, yuuuum) and drinks. At the end of the excursion the driver of the boat gave me his business card and asked if we'd be back in Cabo again and if I was married. Those Mexican men love me, ha.
Today I got a swedish massage on the ship, and that was about as busy as my day got...pretty nice. Other than that, we're just trying to make plans for the different ports for our last time in Hawaii. Hoping to see Pearl Harbor and maybe some sea turtles. And there are whale-watching, hiking, and dog-sled excursions in Alaska, so we'll see what we can do. And of course I'm trying to get things together to send home a few packages, because I have accumulated so much stuff here! It'll be funny because I've been living with warm weather for so long, but now that it's starting to get warmer for everyone else, I'll be heading to Alaska in a little bit where I have to wear sweatshirts and coats! Hopefully it won't be too cold.
Alright, peace, love, and hugs!
