Our Cruise to Mexico!!




Our drink waiter - and Lynsie future husband (wishful thinking! on her part)



Well - I am back! I had a great time on my Mexico cruise!
The weather was perfect - not too hot! Did lots of shopping and my husband even surprised with me some BLING!!
Our first stop in Puerto Vallarta was great! We rented a Jeep and took a tour through the town and the back roads - places I would never think of going on our own. It was run down and yet the people that live that way are happy. And that is really all that matters. We stopped at a Tequila Factory - OF COURSE!! and even my daughter got to have some - she did not like it and her face showed it! LOL Our last stop was at an exclusive restaurant right on the beach where we had dinner at sunset! Good food and beautiful scenery!

And how did she like it ?? ..... YUCK!!



Then next day we went to Mazatlan. It was a busy day. Shopping and walking and more walking !! Had lunch at Senor Frogs! WHAT A BLAST THAT WAS!! That is also the port where Tony bought some jewelry!!!


MY BLING - the pic does not do it justice!



Then our next stop was Cabo San Lucas!

The whole reason for this trip
was so Tony could go to Sammy Hagar's bar - Cabo Wabo! And we did! We all (even my 17 yr old girls) did a shot of Tequila and took some pics!












At the start of this trip one thing Tony and my daughter wanted to do was go Para-sailing. Ya know the parachute thing behind a boat - way up in the air! OVER THE OCEAN AND SHARKS AND STUFF! I am scared of heights - I don't even like to stand on the upper level at the mall and look down! And my daughter's friend that came with us is the same way! So what happens... first thing off the boat on the pier Tony finds some guy and says HEY - where can we Para-sail? And of course the guy point us right to the para-sail guys. They were all over us!! And before I could object - I was on the boat! We get out on the water and then they tell us that my husband and I CANNOT go together! I freaked out - started crying and said NO WAY! I am not doing this ALONE! The deal was we would go together and the girls would go together. But cuz it was so early in the day there was not enough wind to put us up high enough - finally the guy said that if I went with one of the girls it would be ok! So - my daughter (LITTLE MS COURAGE) put her arm around me and said come on mom let's do this!! And I said OK!!! We were strapped in and off we went! I could not believe I was doing this and within 2 minutes I was smiling and laughing and loving it!! It was calm - peaceful and beautiful! I loved it and would totally do it again! Then it was Tony's turn with Nisha to go with him! I told her how great it was. I think she smiled as much as I did !!! We all loved it and all would do it again!
