I got ready for bed at 10 and decided to read a "few" more posts on the boards and then I saw the time on the above response got to get bed. Good thing I have Mondays off but I've got to make the 3 hour drive back to Redding in the morning. So this is it for tonight.

In PV we are walking to an all inclusive resort by the pier. They have a day pass. You have access to their beach, pools, and kids play pool with a pirate ship and castle. It also includes food and beverages including alcohol. We did this in march and my parents did this in may. We are looking forward to it again. My kids love the beach. It's perfect for us.

We are doing nothing in Cabo. I don't care for Cabo. Too many collage party people. In march, my DD and I swam with the dolphins in Cabo. We enjoyed it, but it isnt cheep. DH and DS did a snorkeling trip, not the lovers beach one - the other one. They liked it, but DH doesn't want to do it again. We will just enjoy the quiet ship those days.

I wish DCL would do 2 days in PV instead of Cabo. I like that city so much more.

I'm very interested in knowing more about the snorkeling mind sharing?

The snorkeling we plan to do is more of a "do it yourself" excursion. We brought our own snorkel gear last time, but the water taxi driver also offered to rent us some. I would just check with the driver to see if he has some if you're planning to rent snorkel gear. Also, agree on a price before you get on the boat. The boat will drop you off at Lover's Beach and ask you when you want to be picked up. If you want to see the arch, tell the driver beforehand and he'll allow extra time to take you down there. Our driver also took us to a little market that is on a dock in the marina before taking us to the beach so we could buy water and snacks. These guys want your business, so they are very courteous and accommodating! Bring towels or blankets to stretch out on at the beach and have fun!

I don't expect that there will be very many college people in Cabo this time of year. We were there in early November 2 years ago and didn't notice any college-age partying. My impression of Cabo was sun-drenched and slow paced. I'm sure I would hate it there in the spring break season.

HaileeB, we all own our own snorkel sets. We did this a few years back are they just the wager taxis that are at the dock. I wasn't sure if you had a specific person you use. Thanks

Dramamamma, what is the name and or price of the all inclusive? Thanks

We just use the water taxis at the marina. The drivers tend to stand around in front of the restaurants that line the marina. Plan on $10 per person round trip.

Thanks, I think we paid $7.00 a person about 4 years ago. Not bad inflation.

Cool Thanks for the information with check with DD and DF and see what they think. Funny cause I was the first one to say " done this itenerary so many times I'm not getting off the ship" But a lady can change her mind right??

 

[Dramamama]

Wow. It is super quiet today. Is everyone packing?

I need to start my FE. Maybe I should do that instead of the boards???

No. I like to read about other peoples trips and situations.

Just checking in before hitting the bed. Handling issues with the upcoming lay offs (I'm a Union Steward) and getting ready for a Union Function in LA this weekend. Trying to fit FE gifts in my spare time.

Started trying nice clothing on the kids. We had to make sure everything still fits. It's amazing how quickly they can grow out of something. The pants that fit my son in march are way too short now. He is like a bean. He's growing so fast. Luckily, my daughters skirts can be shorter and it's not noticeable. Me, on the other hand, only has to worry about growing in widith . I still haven't lost the weight from our cruise in march.

I pulled out DH and my pirate costumes, DS asked. It's a good thing I'm a theatre teacher. I said I needed it for a show. He accepted it.

I'm so ready to pack, but I can't start too early. My kids would suspect too much. I've expressed that I'm not excited about going to the wedding.

Oh well, just have to wait.

 

[Dramamama]

OMG can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

This sucks! I work 2 jobs and I have mentally checked out from both of them! Hurry up Nov 27th!

Right there with you

It's a good thing I have SO MUCH TO DO or I would be checked out too. Halloween and Thanksgiving seem to just be in the way at this point. Just get me to Nov. 27!

 

[Dramamama]

Working on my FE gifts tonight. They are turning out cute. I'm so excited.

I have changed my mind on the cabin crawl. I do want to participate. I hope that is OK?

I have convinced my parents to dress up on Pirate night. This is a huge accomplishment. They never get into costume for anything. It is very strange that I turned out working in theatre considering how non dramatic my parents are. . My children, on the other hand are very dramatic.

 

[Dramamama]

For our 1st day meet, can we move it to 3:15? That way if any of us want to be at the spa drawing at 3 we can do both.

Thats a GREAT Idea! Will update later
