Edit: I fogot to mention. Sometimes it pays to be old and fat. I guess it looked like I was going to pass out and we were pulled out of very long lines and put right thru the security posts. That was nice. I also added to the excursion trip story.
Hi Blogger Friends. Well, I survived the airplane flights and no icebergs in the ocean. We had a great time and it was nice to get away. I can honestly say, that i walked more in those 8 days than I have in the last 3 years. It was so nasty hot in Mexico. 90 degrees with 80% humidty. Looked like we all just stepped out of the shower with our clothes on.
I enjoyed the cruise, but not sure it's something I would want to do again. (Although, my in-laws told us if we each lose 75 lbs and I quit smoking, they would take us on a 14 day cruise to Hawaii.) Something to think about.
Only lots of pics of cruise.

| The oldest house in Cabo. Its in the middle of the business district, but its like our historical buildings and cannot be sold to the city or torn down. |

| See that red sign on the pole. Here it means STOP. In Mexico, its just a suggestion. (Made me giggle everytime we came to one) |

| This is one big ship when you walk from one end to the other several times a day. 950' to be exact. |

These next few pics are of a tour we took by boat called Rhythms of the Night. We went to the very end of land in Banderas Bay to Las Caletas. Only half of it has a road, the rest is only accessible by boat. Part of it was once the private home of film director John Huston. His home is now a restaurant and hotel. The movie Night of the Iguanas was filmed there. It was an hour ride with an open bar and great entertainment by the crew. We had a great buffet under an open grass hut with dirt floors but cloth napkins. We saw a show about the Mayan culture in dance. It was awesome. Below are some of the dancers in the show.
