    Photo Trip Report – Panama Canal Cruise plus 3 days in DLR

    Just what ever you do, PLEASE DO NOT SIT ON THE EDGE OF THIS STAGE. Not even if it is three hours before any character gets into costume. If you think about sitting your gray haired grandmother on the edge of this stage or stop to prop your foot on the stage to tie a shoelace, you will be...

    We got park hopper tickets to go between California Adventure and Disneyland: Our first stop was a late lunch/early dinner at carnation café. I had made reservations ahead of time by calling Disneyland. There is no way to reserve online and there is no confirmation number but we never ran...

    Photo Trip Report – Panama Canal Cruise plus 3 days in DLR

    So finally we no longer have a "sea day" and we finally make it to Mexico and I enjoy Mexican food. So what do I have for lunch? Honestly. I'm not normally such a compulsive obsessive eater - how I had so many chicken fingers for lunch on this trip I'll never understand - they must be...

    Oh that would be so nice. I haven't been on a cruise during Sept or Oct but have been told that they make every effort to steer clear of storms and avoid the bad weather as best as possible. DSis and I booked onboard a future cruise to the southern Caribbean in October of 2014 to and from...

    After breakfast by the pool. We went back to the verandah to sit and relax. And I became fascinated by the landscaper mowing the yard of this home. Guess I imagined it was a location for Real House Wives of Puerto Vallarta. And we heard and watched the pirate ship...

    That's cool! We were bums and didn't do any excursions - DSis and I got so burned by the excursion we did with Disney in Cozumel that we didn't dare do another. If we had done more research before we left home we would have liked to do some exploring of the town and area. Thanks for reading...

    This morning we arrived at Puerto Vallarta at 7:30. Dad was one of the first ones off the boat. He had a golf game scheduled and we saw him as he got into a hired car and drove off for his adventure.

    So sunning and learning about cheese made us all hungry and I met DSis and both parents at Beach Blanket Buffet for lunch. They had a baked potato bar at the very end of the buffet - where the omlette station was in the mornings. This was the best baked potato! Honestly. Though, I...

    DSis and I return to the goofy pool and to Alladin. This time getting in the water to watch. Then I get settled into a lounge chair to sun on the top deck while DSis goes to the room to change. All to myself! DSis and Mom decide to go to a cheese tasting class. I told them...
