Cruisin' on the Ocean

Here are a few pictures from Craig and Kelli's cruise to Catalina & EnsenadaOn Catalina Island with a view of the "Elation" behind us
(it's way bigger than it looks! It held 2,000 guests plus another 1,000 crew!)
Our stateroom was in the back of the boat on the floor right below all the restaurants! We had a great view out of our window.
Here is Craig eating Sushi on board the cruise ship. Food is available 24 hours a day and it's an all you can eat type thing! Craig is a sushi lover, Kelli is not, but Craig had Kelli get a plateful so HE could eat that too!

In Ensanada, we went horseback riding way out in the country with beautiful views of the bay and surrounding land. Here's Kelli on "Nobelito" who turned out to have a little bit of a temper and liked to nip the other horses behinds and kick them! Craig's horse was named "Dos Equiz" after the beer!

The movie "The Pirates of the Caribbean" and 2 sequels were filmed in Ensenada and The Black Pearl is permanently docked there. This is a picture of it out of our bus window--pretty awesome!

Back home to San Diego rounding Coronado Point where there was a beautiful sunset.
Some other cruise highlights were that neither one of us got seasick!! We bought a new bottle of motion sickness pills and didn't even have to open it! No chumming the ocean this time!

To Mexico for Spring Break!

See this ship at the top of this page?? Well, Craig and Kelli are going on a cruise to Catalina and Ensenada and are going to be on a ship just like that!!! (Well, hopefully a little bigger!) We will post some pictures when we come back from our relaxing adventure without any children! Before we go, we have to go to the store and get Craig some Dramamine cause when we were in Kauai on a small boat, Craig got seasick and hurled his lunch into a little white bucket that the "helpers on board" chummed into the ocean---gross!! We didn't see any sharks though, so they must not be too hot on human hurl!! It's the blood they crave, I guess. Maybe this time, if he's medicated, Craig won't be apt to get seasick and chum the ocean! . . .to be continued. . .
