My phone never did get past the Apple icon all night and by morning, it was VERY warm to the touch...I guess because it stayed illuminated all night. Rich was still sick in spite of taking the meds, so he got in touch with his urologist back home and got a stronger prescription. I did some laundry and then Kit drove me to the Apple Store where I spent the next 3 hours learning that my phone had gone nuts when I tried to reboot it while it was updating, and the ...

We were already in port when I woke up this morning. It was a chilly 67 degrees with 95% humidity...so much for a dry climate! We met the Honnerts for an early breakfast and then it was time to leave our rooms and go to our staging area to wait for disembarkation. Rich and I were able to go to the Explorers Lounge to wait since I'm a platinum member. We had signed up for an 8:45 am time and as usual, the ship was running just a little late. We made our way off th...

Our last day of the cruise, and Rich is sick with some kind of head cold. :(( He began feeling badly last night with a cough and congestion, so we are keeping away from him today!

We got breakfast after our walk then met up in the theater for a cooking demonstration by the head c...

What a fun day we had today! We started off with a brisk walk outside on Deck 7, followed by another delicious breakfast up on Deck 14 in the Horizon Court. Next was a soak in the hot tub for Pam and myself, the guys went to some seminar. We got cleaned up and met in the Explorers Lounge for another round of Bingo. No luck although we came close on one game. We were all hungry at this point and decided to buffet it again. After lunch, Pam and I took a nap and the...

We arrived into Puerto Vallarta right on schedule at 8:00 am. Our tour was to meet at 8:15, and we have learned to go early so we can be in the first group that leaves. We boarded the tour bus (air conditioned this time, although the bus wasn't started and it was hot!), and began a drive through the city. The main street goes past several American places, like Walmart and Sam's, plus numerous places to eat. There were also a lot of resort hotels--for future ref...
