Seeing as though we could not spare the $30,000 each to fly First Class, we sat in Economy for the very long 16 flight from LAX to Dubai. Even thought it was incredibly long, it was probably the best flight I have ever had. Jaime agrees. He said the only flight that was better that he could think of was his flight home from Iraq after his deployment. First of all, there was no third person in our row, so we had three seats for just the two of us. It was nice to ...

Well, today is the day we leave on our next adventure. This will be the longest trip Jaime and I have taken together, but the first of many!! It was very hard to say "see you later" to Winnie today, but she is in great hands at her Doggy Daycare. She was so excited to be there today, she pulled me inside so fast, and was super pumped to go play with her doggy friends. We are beyond excited to get to India! I will update once we arrive. Wish us safe travels for th...

We docked in Long Beach right on time, and we were able to eat one last buffet breakfast and leave the ship. We got home around 9:30am, (Jaime's cousin was so nice and picked us up again) and Jaime picked up Winnie from Daycare. The staff said she did amazing, and all the workers fell in love with her.

This entire day was just spent at sea. We had no port of call. And talk about being lazy. We woke up late again this morning, ate breakfast, then took another nap in our room. We then got up, got on our swim gear, got some more food, and then took yet another nap out by the pool. Yea, I know, our lives are so hard. We ended up finally finding the 21 and over area of the ship which had two extra hot tubs and was much quieter. We spent a lot of the afternoon in thi...

We got an early start today and went out to explore the city. We went and saw La Bufadora (Blowhole) which was a bit of a drive. The cruise ship was offering this as an excursion for about $30 a person, however we went into town and got the very same excursion for only $15 each. In your face Carnival Cruise lines!! ;) Our tour guide for this excursion was AWESOME! Very funny and knowledgeable. We enjoyed some time getting to see the blowhole and got some great p...
