Our first full day in Las Vegas was mostly an orientation day. We went out and drove “The Strip” to see all the big hotels (see video). We also stopped at an Albertson’s to buy some groceries for our room. Then we went on a little walking adventure to see a couple [...]

Well, slightly sadsies today, having to leave Palm Springs. We hung around as long as we possibly could until the maid said “Check out is 11:00! Get the hell out!” We reluctantly left our beautiful resort and made our way to Las Vegas. Surprisingly navigating the freeway traffic was not a problem and we only had [...] Wow, things just get better and better here. We have been enjoying our resort – see the tour below. We liked it so much here that we stayed an extra day. We have begun to get into a routine. Steve goes for a bike ride in the morning while I get orgnized and [...] Hi Folks: Our second day in Palm Springs was really fun. It was a lazy day by and large. Steve went for a bike ride – the bike which was rented from a local company that dropped it off right at our location. Then we explored Palm Springs a little bit by going [...] Departing LA and getting out of the city was surprisingly uneventful. Not too much to tell you. The drive to Palm Springs was interesting, and the resort is fantastic. Love love love it here, and the resort, too. Had a great lunch at a Vegan restaurant, and bought a bunch of groceries at [...] The video doesn’t really say it all.

Steve shot 1 hour of footage, but we managed to compress it into [...] The disembarkment ramps at the cruise ship dock were broken, so this is the only way we could get off the ship. Okay, so really, this is the water park in Palm Springs. Wel, we finally arrived in Los Angeles. The video below shows a few highlights of our time on the ship. Our next adventure will be in Disneyland, then on to Palm Springs. Managed to find an internet connection (”50 times faster than dial-up”) but boy dial-up sure must be crappy in the States because [...] So there is no Internet access on the boat because it’s broken. We are at the outermost reaches of cellular service as we cruise down the coast. Our stateroom is lovely and quiet and we are enjoying the spaciousness and the 2 TVs. The signal strength bars are diminishing as I write this, so this [...] The nice thing about taking a cruise to your destination is that you can let someone else (the Captain?) worry about getting you there. That would also allow one to sit by the pool drinking beer. Hurrah!
Relaxin’ at sea |
