Docked in Ensenada for the day.

Debbie, Rick, Roger, Chrissie and Jeff all had an early breakfast and all left the ship earlier. Greg, Wendy, Tim and Angie were a bit later to breakfast and had notes under their doors suggesting a meet up at Pappas & Beer at 12 noon. We all made our own way off the ship with the numerous sourvenir pho...

If you are looking for summer things to do outside the United States, Mexico is just there waiting for you. Mexico is a very lively country with a multi-ethnic society of Spanish, Native American and American traditions. This ethnic diversity is very much reflected on the country's culture and food, and here are two places in Mexico that greatly...

Imagine giving birth to a one ton baby! Grotesque as this may seem to us, for the female gray whale it's not even worth batting an eyelash. Although most of the male grays had already left on their great migration to the north, we were extremely fortunate to be in time to carouse with the mothers and babies still frolicking in the warm waters of...

Yes, Contiki did live up to its reputation. Dick's was fun, and like all American restaurants, everything was massive: food, drink and waiters. The waiters weren't as rude as I thought they would be. Sure, they took your order by asking 'Whaddaya want?' and one even told Louise to shut up, but I expected them to be full on insulting, e.g. 'Sure...

Woensdag, 18 januari 2006 Vandaag zit ik weer in het internetcafe. Vannacht een gedoe met de onderwaterwc, Floyd moest de tank eruit halen, stank en wat lawaaioverlast. Ook heeft Floyd wat moeite zijn apparatuur aan de praat te krijgen, kortom we zijn nog niet weg. Gisteren hebben we de windvaan afgemonteerd, het moet nog blijken of dat wel werk...

It was so stormy and cold at home for the holidays this year that Aaron and I decided to drive south to start off the new year with some sun. We planned to visit some of my family in SoCal and then meet up with some friends and cross the border for a few days of siesta and fiesta time. Monday January 2nd: Today was spent mostly driving in the ca...

Surprisingly the trip from San Diego was NOTHING like the trip down the coast of the US! We had occasional winds gusting to 30 knots, but the seas never got anywhere near as wild as those off the Oregon coast. A lot of time was spent motoring in calm seas, too, which gave us a chance to relax and enjoy the trip. We arrived in Ensenada where we w...
