We were glad to see Cabo San Lucas again. We grabbed a pedi-cab just outside the ship and headed to the ME Resort. Our driver was somewhat overweight Mexican with very little English – little did he know about the workout of his life was just around the corner and for 120 peso to boot. Additionally, the ME Resort is not exactly around the corner either but it's on the other side of town. Carrying over 400lbs. in 90 degree heat, with virtually no air in his ...

We can’t say exactly why we chose Buenos Aires as the ultimate end destination for our Holland America cruise. But for some indefinable reason, the city has always tempted us. Just the words "Buenos Aires" conjures up images of smoky tan...

We made it home just fine after a long day. I think that I may have a problem though. We arrive at the airport and then headed straight to the River Rock Casino. Must have been withdrawal. We're glad to be back home !
