For Spring Break this year we decided to go on a cruise to Mexico! It was definatly worth it and I cannot wait until I can go again!
Monday started out a little rough because it was snowing super hard and it was scary driving to the airport, but we made it! We arrived at the Cruise ship earlier then expected so we ended up playing cards on the sidewalk! When we got onto the ship we ate lunch, and hung out on the deck. I saw a good friend of mine from Star Valley on the cruise so that was super weird, but it was way fun! We just hung around until we went to dinner, but I did not make it through because I got super sick. I learned my lesson and from then on took 2 motion sickness pills!
Tuesday was our day in Catalina! We had decided not to do an excursion so we ended up just walking around and shopping. There were a lot of little shops that were fun to look at and we had a blast looking at things. Of course we had an amazing dinner, and watched a hollywood show on the ship that night which was fun. Our dinner table had 3 couples on it. They were really nice and fun to talk to! There was a younger couple that were 20 that had just gotten married and were on their honeymoon. Then there was a couple in their 30s from AK, and then a couple that got engaged on the cruise for the 2nd time from California. They were really fun! One night at dinner the topic of our religion got brought up. It was interesting to listen to what they had heard, and be able to explain to them a little more. The younger guy from AZ is actually an inactive member, and he said he could tell we were LDS because we were "polite, and had a glow to us" That was really cool to hear from him. They were a super fun couple!
Wednesday we were in Ensenada which was fun in itself! We walked around at first and went shopping which was super fun! I loved it and came back with much more then I needed! I got a purse, some sandals, and a hammock! I then got some little souveniers for my family and friends! We went on an excursion that was a "Mexican Fiesta" It was the stupidest thing that I have ever done! Let me just tell you to SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! It was not worth it at all! They drove us to a ranch up in the mountains and we ate "authentic mexican food" which was disgusting! We then watched some dances and a horchachi band. Then we broke a pinata, and then we left back for town! They dropped us off in the middle of town and we went shopping some more! It was fun to watch everybody and talk the shop owners down! As we were walking back to the ship, a man pulled up in the back of a truck and everything was covered except for his eyes. He was holding a machine gun and staring us down! I was so scared, but it was super fun to be there! That night we watched a magician and comedian! It was way fun!
Thursday was our fun day at sea! We basically just laid out and watched the AZ state students get drunk and act retarded! It was super fun, and I loved just being in the sun! That night at dinner they had a dance and a send off which was way fun!
Friday we got back and got off the ship earlier then expected! We got an earlier flight into Salt Lake and arrived back in Logan to the snow and cold which was not fun! All in all it was an amazing trip and I had a blast hanging out and relaxing for the week!
