There's an excursion in Ensenada involving tequila!

Not sure of the link, just go to Port Adventures on DCL's main page.

 

[Tink rules]

I tried to look for it.. but I can't find anything about Ensenada... maybe because I'm not booked on anything...

Since I'm not paying for my cruise until the Feb date, I'm assuming all the good excursions are going to be full. I glanced over them once and decided that we'll probably stay onboard in Mexico. In Hawaii I'm thinking of renting a jeep on each island and just go exploring with John. He would love it and it would be easy for me to do. We'll just pick up a map and go see whatever we want.

If anyone else is thinking of doing this....you are welcome to join us.

I'm sure they will have lots of good stuff figured out for excursions... we all got crazy about them on the PC cruise and they figured it out... or they will hold some for the later dates...

Maybe, but nothing I read stuck out as something that I wanted to do. I think I might see more and have more fun just exploring with John. Get away from the tourist stuff and see what the locals are up to. We love exploring that way in new places. Since Hawaii is still USA, I'm comfortable with the language, the currancy, the customs and what side of the road they drive on. I'm still in my country. It's different from going to a foreign country. I feel safer and more familiar.

Just make sure you get back in time... wouldn't want to see a video of you two running down the dock after the ship has left!!!

That is one thing that we do not mess around with. If they say all aboard is 4, we're back by 3. Two of the four ports have late night all aboards. I won't make it that many hours, I have to pace myself. If we do a luau, I will have to nap that afternoon. hahaha.

At the very worst, if we miss the boat.....we could island hop and meet it at the next port. IF we miss it.

Well, today is the 3 year anniversary of my dad's death. It sometimes feels like he's not gone. We didn't have a good relationship. VERY strained after the divorce. He never took responsibility for what he did and I was the one that was left behind (as far as the kids were concerned... ) (I was 14).

I had to realize after he was gone and I read the condolences from others that he had a totally different life that didn't include me.

It's odd though.. as some of you might remember.. I was the one who buried him. Or as mom says "she carried him to his grave"... I never thought of it that way until she said it. It was just his ashes... but I did... I wouldn't let anyone else handle them. My brother still is mad at me for it... but one of us had to be the responsible one. I hope to finally get his foot stone this spring (there is a headstone for the family plot)


I have also decided that I am going to seek counseling probably in the spring. I have a very bad separation anxiety.. mostly from the divorce and I get VERY bothered when people leave me. And as we know... hopefully not for a long time... mom will leave too and I need to be in a good place when that happens or I will simply fall apart. We've always lived together so this will be hard.

I was thinking that it was the second anniversary because last year you were so affected by it and the year before it actually happened. I'm so thrown off thinking that it's three years already. Wow!

That wouldn't have anything to do with it because I wasnt logged in when looking at excursions. I think Monica posted a link here a while back. I'll see if I can find it.

He died in 2008

One of my dad's favorite gags was to ask young clerks/waitresses if they accepted "Hawaiian" money.

 

[Tink rules]

Ok... who in our group would do THAT???

John M., Albert or Dennis???

I would probably ask them if they took Euros (€) or Scottish £'s

[Tink rules]

wonder what the exchange rate is between euros and Hawaiian $'s are!!!

Prayers please for Deb.....Ray's in the hospital & not doing well.

Not sure if she'll be able to DIS from the hospital, so figured I'd post the request.

 

[Tink rules]

Started saying prayers last night when she was at the hospital last night...
