The Cruise

Wow what to say but OMG! The only way to go on a vacation. In the past, we have gone here and there and mostly to visit family - I am hoping to go CA this summer, but would love to go on a cruise with the entire family.

Day one - overcast in San Diego, checked in with out a hitch. The Casino staff threw us a private Welcome party in the Crow's Nest. From there was dinner then to a group picture then to the casino. The players gambled up a storm.

Day two - at Sea - spent most of the day in the casino with my customers and walking around the ship getting to know where every thing was. Had a spa treatment - the one that targets cellulite - way cool - you get a workout without having to do a thing, muscles contract - totally awesome. Formal night. Went to a show - very dorky.

Day three - Cabo San Lucas - we went to Nikki Beach, to a five diamond resort and enjoyed lunch then walked through the town - very dirty - lots of graffiti. Got very sun burnt at the beach.

Day four - Mazatlan - went on a shopping bus tour (must have been the senior bus - everyone was OLD). Bought some beautiful tiles - planning on putting them in a future patio. Again most of the city was full of graffiti.

Day five - Puerto Vallarta - my favorite place, love the boardwalk. Went to a tequila factory - that was so fun, did some shopping, bought a cute dragonfly necklace and two pair of coach sunglasses - the big bulky kind. Took a customer to the Pinnacle grill - a gourmet restaurant.

Day six - at Sea - had another spa treatment, spent some time doing some work - planned all of the 2009 events - spent some time in the casino with my customers. Formal dinner night. Saw a show - Horizon - Motown music.

Day seven - at Sea - guess what, yep you guessed it I worked finished the Special Events planning as well as SE Room budget - that made me feel so good - I went and had yet another spa treatment - a detox seaweed wrap and massage - went to the casino and on the last night the crew put on a show in the dining room - it was cute.

Arrived back in San Diego - rushed back to try and make it to the soccer - got in town with only a few minutes left of the game so we missed it.

The cruise was a wonderful experience - will definitely do it again. Met some great people and the staff on board of Holland America Oosterdam were extremely nice people.
