It's been a while since my last entry. Life has been extremely hectic lately without too many breaks in between. Though one break Mimi and I took recently was a fantastic 10 day cruise to Mexico. It was simply fantastic and I catch myself day dreaming from time to time about it.

Cruising is certainly not for everyone. There were lots of old people on the boat, which was fine with us because we wanted to relax and have a good time. We met a ton of interesting and nice people on board though we did bump into a few assholes who thought they owned the world.

The boat was excellent. It was launched in early 2004 and had plenty of cool stuff on board including 5 pools, spa, virtual golf, mini golf, casino, theater, 6 restaurants, discos, bars, internet cafe, and on and on.

Mexico itself was a blast. We did a lot of shopping and visited lots of cool places. Overall the Mexican people were extremely warm (more so than some Americans we met on board) and some of the food we had while on land was amazing.

I ended up playing in the Casino the last two nights and won $400 at Blackjack. I'm not sure why but everytime I play Blackjack, I win. I'm not a heavy gambler but I have a formula that seems to win everytime I play.

We really loved Mexico and plan on visiting again, this time with the kids.
