Well I expected Acapulco to be really glamourous ... its not. Maybe right around the bay at the new area where the upmarket hotels are.

VERY hot today 95f thank god for air con!!!

Went for a walk to the beach which was dirty, sunchairs dirty, parasols tatty, saw dead cat in water which kinda killed my vision of a nice day sunbathing on a ...

... Back on our lounge chairs where we soak-up the Acapulco sun. A little swim to cool-off, then back in the sun. At 1:00PM, we’re fed a buffet style lunch. Then back in the sun.


3:00PM came WAY too fast. Back on the bus to head back to the pier. The drive back took almost twice as long due to the traffic, but we make it back on board in time. Down to the stateroom to get ready for dinner. This is when we ...

From the ship we boarded a bus for a tour of the city. It took us around the bay

We continued on and arrived in San Felipe for the evening. We stayed at the well over priced Lobster Hotel $80. March 17th. San Felipe to Palm ...

Departing Ensenada, Mexico

Danny came out to Boston to visit me and plan for our adventures for a few days before we headed to the West Coast. We had ...

Partial sea day was spent with Ukulele lesson, movie The Prestige, Bingo and watching for the port of Mexico-Ensenada...where we just walked the port shops.
