We were up early again today and after coffee on Lido Deck, we met the rest of our group for breakfast in the dining room. We like being waited on as opposed to the long buffet lines and I’ve gotten addicted to the smoked salmon, bagel and cream cheese they offer. Nancy and I have [...]

Carnival Spirit – 3rd Day in Port – Manzanillo – Thursday February 4, 2010 Leave a comment
What a difference a day makes! After rain and clouds all day yesterday, we awoke to sunny skies as we pulled into our next port of call. Manzanillo is a commercial port and handles the largest amount of freight coming into Mexico from China and Japan. We loved that we weren’t bombarded by hustlers as [...]
Carnival Spirit – 2nd Day in Port – Iztapa/Zihuatanejo – Wednesday Feruary 3, 2010 Leave a comment
What’s the one thing you never see in a cruise ship commercial? You’re right – you never see rain! But that’s exactly what greeted us this morning when we awoke to see our ship anchored in the bay near Zihuatanejo. We had purchased tickets for a tour of both cities along with a drive into [...]
Carnival Spirit – 1st Day in Port – Acapulco – February 2, 2010 1 comment

So many choices, so much to do and we want to maximize every experience! We got up early and headed to Lido Deck for coffee and breakfast buffet. Unlimited options again from custom-made omelets to fresh fruit to yogurt to the “fat zone” which featured bacon, eggs, hash browns, gravy, etc. – all the stuff [...]

Thanks to our chauffeur, Len, we arrived dockside in San Diego shortly after noon and immediately realized we were parking very close to our friends, Ron and Barb. A true sign of the great vacation yet to come! Ralph had told me this morning that they had friends whose parents were going to be on the [...]
Back on Dry Land Leave a comment
We’re back on dry land – solid earth that doesn’t sway gently (or sometimes not so gently)! Now it’s time to catch up on my posts so stay tuned for my daily updates from the 8 days of cruisin’ we enjoyed.
