Winter vacation continued

When we returned to Calgary and were reminded that a month away in January does not move you into picnic season, it was an easy decision to get on with doing laundry and repacking our suitcases to head South again to warmer climes.

This is what we got in the trade off - not too bad a deal in our estimation.
Our journey began in Calgary with a flight to San Diego to pick up a cruise ship. In spite of being surrounded by poor weather and aircraft delays our flight was on time and we arrived at the ship with no issues. The following day was at sea - very blustery and cool so we wandered the ship, did a little reading and got our bearings and layout of the ship - a very easy and somewhat lazy day.

As you can see, we were not alone in our RELAX mode - even the gulls were taking it easy.

Because of the wind, the seas were quite rough and some suffered on the sail down to Cabo San Lucas but not us we are happy to say - both Christine and I slept like babies. As we travel South the weather has become warmer and the winds more calm - very pleasant.
Cruise ships are known for the quality and quantity of food and our ship is no exception. anyone that knows Ed will know that he loves fish and seafood - he is making the most of eveery opportunity to fill up on a variety of piscatorial dishes -mmmmm!!!!!!
The pelicans are also very well fed too - below they are about to enjoy a tuna sandwhich.

Internet time and WiFi is hard to access in some of the areas we are in, but we will add posts as often as possible - please hang in there and keep visiting. We will try to keep the blog as interesting as possible.
Stay warm and have fun.
