and hoping for nicer/warmer/more Mexican Riviera-like weather :)
We are here aboard the Sapphire Princess (or as I like to call it...HOME) for our one week cruise to the Mexican Riviera. After a somewhat less than glorious beginning (okay we got on board way faster/earlier than ever before but not without Gerry having some frustrating moments with staff. Fortunately supervisors were not called...nor escorts to take us away). Once on board we checked out the rooms and headed for lunch. Then the clouds/rain came in and it was starting to look a lot like home.
The engineer was having difficulties getting the gasoline powered engine to start up (should have been relying on those damned dilithium crystals instead) and our launch was delayed until well after 6 pm.
After a wonderful sail-away dinner (where we are all trying to enlighten our friend Derek about the ins and outs of cruise ship dining protocol...if you can't decide between two entrees then obviously you should order both), we headed off for trivia where we established ourselves as a unified force to be reckoned with! And we have the Princess lanyards to show for it!
Only down side for me (Gerry's list is somewhat longer but he doesn't have a blog) is that they have blocked my access to skype. No conversing with the grandsons this trip. Bummer! This time I could have shown Mattias what's going on outside our window. Will have to make up for it with a longer chat next Sunday.
