Land ho! It's only our second and last landfall on this 14 day journey. Cozumel, Mexico. Stacey is excited, and gets up at 6am to start getting ready. I wait a bit longer. Neither of us sleep well though. My throat keeps waking me up. Oh well. Gotta deal. We're off to the buffet for breakfast and the ship docks at the Punta Langosta pier, which seems to be downtown. There is another pier further south, and we see a Carnival Cruiseship dock there in the afternoon...

Yep, another sea day. My throat is really sore now. Hurts to swallow. Stacey thinks I've got it worse than her. Debating taking anti-biotics just in case. We've got a port day tomorrow and I'd like to be able to enjoy it. I just want to sleep today though, so Stacey goes on her own to get breakfast. The chef messes up and puts onion in her omlet, but she just picks it out. She likes onion, but has been trying to avoid it. She's going to another shopping ...

It's an Elton John Tribute featuring Jeffrey Allen. He's...

The tropical depression has strengthened to a tropical storm, strong enough to be given an official name. Hello Tropical Storm Polo. It's directly in our path, and it's decided that the safer course of action is to do like Odile, tur...

It's overcast but a humid 27 degrees outside today. The rocking of the ship we really find to be draining. I sleep ok but am still tired, and losing an hour due to time zone change doesn't help. I'm a pretty sound sleeper, so I guess I missed some action in the middle of the night. The closet has sliding doors on it which are held closed by velcro, but apparently gravity had a bit stronger pull last night and they woke Stacey with a bang as they would open a...
