Stress....Then De-Stress....We're Goin' On A Cruise!

You know how things are just getting more and more stressful by the day....Well we are definately feeling the stress just as everyone else is out there. So I decided to get the heck out of town with my hubby and our friends (and now family) Larry and Denise Holloway. But of course before you can de-stress there always has to be more "STRESS". Kim was out of town back East the whole week......I was afraid he wouldn't make it back because of snow storms....He makes it back on Thursday and goes to work all day Friday only to have to do more business for AAC and I was ready to strangle him!!! Then when we finally get on the road and on our way, of course....Here we are missing the turn off to our ship!!! The ship is just on the right .....in that water that we're just about to go over!!!! See the bridge we're going to go over????

















So we made it to our ship.....And as you can see Kim is now in vacation mode. He has just de-stressed. That's what I'm talkin' about!!! VACATION !!!! Everybody needs to just de-stress every so often....


















And then when you get your first towel character on the foot of your bed......Then you know it's going to be ok......

Chocolate Feast!!!!

There was even a table for Kim (who is diabetic). Actually the sugar-free desserts were actually pretty good!


Norwegian Cruise line had a chocolaholic buffet one night. Of course I had to attend this one!! This sign is all in chocolate!

They really had some beautiful ice statues. This one was of a horse.








Here are some Chocolate Dolphins. I really wanted to eat at least the top two dolphins but I controlled myself.






This was not even half of what they had!! I don't think I want to see any chocolate for a while!!! Just Kidding of course!!!

Having a Great Time In Mexico.....

I had to take these pictures of Larry & Denise. They were just having too much fun!!!! The band was playing a song for Larry that was a New Orleans tune. He felt right at home.



Here's the one and only shot I got of Mazatlan. The rest of them came out too fuzzy. Sorry.





Michelle & Denise are posing with "The Office Rambo" here in Cabo San Lucas. Michelle had us meet her here at the "Office" and she had tables and chairs waiting for us on the beach. And she also treated us to the best margaritas in town! We had the most fun on this beach! Thanks Michelle!!!!

Cruising......

We had a great time with Denise & Larry Holloway! Here we were relaxing in one of the lounges on one of the late nights. Can you tell that they are having fun!!!



I caught this shot of Denise and Larry on the back of the ferry boat on the way to Cabo. See our ship in the backround!

















This is a beautiful Cove that we go to when we visit Puerto Valerta. It just looks so peaceful. I could so live there!






The beach was just perfect there the day we were in Puerto Valerta. The temperature was in the 80's. Couldn't of asked for better weather especially since we heard that it was raining for 4 days at home and it was freezing enough to put snow on the Ortega mountains! Good timing for a cruise, don't you think?
