Mexican Riviera Cruise!
 Sorry haven't posted in a long time, but I'm back now. A couple weeks ago myself, husband and our two eldest sons went on a Mexican Riviera Cruise. It was eight packed days of eating way too much, getting lots of sun and exploring Mexico. We barely made it to the ship in LA as just when we were to travel, several huge storms on the west coast were rolling in. We drove which meant leaving earlier to avoid road closures...We were literally 8 hours ahead of the very roads we had to travel being shut down. When we finally made it to LA, it was pouring down rain, and lots of flooding. But we made it safely to the ship, soaking wet from the rain and tired from a marathon drive!
Our boys (13 and 12) loved exploring the ship and eating 6-7 meals a day! I just loved being in hot summer weather while hearing reports of massive snow back home. I speak very basic Spanish (like a 3 year old) which actually got us around in Mexico (and out of the tourist trap areas). I had most fun bartering our cab rides. One drawback to our ship experience was a Norwalk Virus outbreak. Several people were sick (and quarantined) which lead to many reports by the captain, how to avoid getting the virus. They actually had forced hand sanitizing before we could enter the food areas--they had someone stand at the door and spray your hands before entering. They got it under control by the time we docked back in LA. Overall it was a great experience!
