... from there, sipping my coffee and praying for the caffeine rush to hit, Michael finishes up his walk on the treadmill. The humidity is something I was not prepared for. I am second guessing walking into the city, but decide it is what Michael wants and I am determined to do it.<br><br>Breakfast is next in the Lido Restaurant. It always amazes me that HAL has such beautiful orchids on the tables up here. (see photo). We can see people getting off the ship ...

Finally, the reward for living through all of the storm. A beautiful morning - and finally feeling better.<br><br>Got off the Ship briefly before we left (total of 20 minutes) to take a few pictures.<br><br>Back onboard by 1pm.<br><br>At 4pm Classic Disco T-dance (delayed due to our extended stay in PV).

Arrived in Puerto Vallarta - safe and sound. Rained most of the day. I stayed in bed most fo the day trying to kick the flu.<br><br>By nightfall it was a beautiful sunset under clearer skies.<br><br>But Mazatlan was closed due to weather - and thus we stayed for another day in PV.

First off I need to address some of my comments from our last entry. I have recently been approached by a high-ranking, newly elected official in the U.S. government who has strongly suggested I keep his name confidential, but that if I had to say anything to just call him "B.O." Anyway, he brought to my attention the fact that the term "THE RECESSION" is now considered illegal and is arbitrarily punishable by the U.S. government, and that this not only ...

Lo de Marcos needed a place to have a Neuter/Spay Clinic for the animals of the town. It is a free service offered to the people and is sponsored by local animal advocates and an organization called M.A.S.H./PEACE Mexico. La Casa de los Ninos has a beautiful facility for this type of event and the children, thanks to Melanie and friends, have been learning about how to care for their mascotas (pets). So, this seemed like a perfect match and the kids at La Casa were ...

Well not much to write when all we have been doing for the last 4 days is sitting on the beach in Sayulita. This town is known for surfing but we haven't seen big enough waves to really surf on since we arrived. The waves are more along the lines for body boarding but we don't see much of that going on. Instead there are all these armature surfers out ...

... folks.) Merilynn was obviously not well so towards the end Gareth went and got a "nurse"- Elizabeth (Nurse Betty). She checked Merilynn out and gave her the name of medicine to buy. Then she tried to close the timeshare deal! They have no conscience. Merilynn went to the room and slept all afternoon. We watched the Academy Awards that night. Feb 26 - Merilynn is a little better today. We went down to the Internet ...

... by beach. The water was the most incredible crystal clear turquoise blue, with a gorgeous white sand beach. That night I went back to the same club, and there was a live band and a lot more people. There was literally 14 members of the band on stage and people dancing everywhere!! The next morning I got on a bus headed to Varadero. It is like the Cuban equivalent of Cancun, where a peninsula has been turned into a tourist trap. I stayed the rest of my nights in ...

... verticle in spots before at last finding our new home, the Casa Sombrero. Phew! Fortunately for us, Christopher the owner who also lives here, was waiting for us. He showed us to our apartment and we felt so tired yet relieved to at last be here! Our fully furnished place is on the third floor of seven and has two good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with balcony and a large kitchen. Who could ask for anything more. On the rooftop of their building is a lovely ...
