pics of vacation
Ok so just because I want to here are some of my fave pics of the 150+ pics my girlfriend took on our vacation last month.
We went on a cruise for seven days and paid the extra money for one of the swankier suites. That means we had a balcony and two tvs in our room. Why we needed two tvs is beyond me but hey luxury is luxury. Anyways this is our ship.
The Diamond Princess
Pretty swank.
The amenities on the boat fucking rocked. Free food whenever we wanted it. I don't mean like free room service (although food from room service was free) I mean there was four different dining rooms you could go to all with different menus and you could have as much or as little as you wanted. Just for the hell of it we went into one dining room to have an appetizer then went to another for entrees :P. There were four pools although I didnt like them too much because they were all pretty shallow and no diving board. They had a burger and pizza bar which were free and a sundae bar (which wasnt free). So while all the food was free the drinks were not. I don't mean just alcoholic drinks either, I'm talking everything. You could buy a pop card when you first get on the boat for free soda but juice and alcohol you had to pay when you bought it. The alcohol prices weren't bad but they were in american funds which hurt my poor canadian wallet :3
They dropped us off at 3 different ports. The first was Puerto Vallarta. Kelly (the gf) and I decided on a jungle tour which ended up taking us into the jungle where they filmed Predator which just happens to be one of my favorite Arnie movies so fuck yeah. We found this little quiet spot while hiked.
The water was so cool and yet warm at the same time I wish I could have a man made pool just like it here.
So it was pretty cool.
In Mazatlan we went on a bird watching tour which sounds boring as fuck but actually wasn't too bad. It helped that our tour guide was awesome and his assistant was all about handing out the free beer. We ended up being towed by a tractor to this stretch of beach.
I basically spent 3 hours jumping into oncoming waves and being washed ashore and drinking free Mexican beer.
Thats what I call a vacation.
Our last stop was in Cabo San Lucas where we went snorkeling. It was awesome. The fish were totally unafraid, they probably get boatloads of tourists coming to poke them and feed them so they were almost domesticated. I had an underwater camera and got some cool photos but the flash didnt work so its all blurry and bleah so no photos.
Anyways thats my trip. I leave you with a pretty picture.
~until next time.
