cruisin' the pacific

In case you were wondering where I disappeared off to last week, I went on a 7-day cruise with my mom, my grandma, and my mom's friends from choir. We sailed on a relatively new ship (inaugurated this past spring) with Princess Cruises, and mostly I enjoyed eating and veging out with a book (I gained an extra 5 pounds to show for it). We stopped at three ports in Mexico: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. To be honest, these places are tourist traps for the most part. The shopping is kind of crap, unless you wanted to buy jewelry, so I didn't get much in the way of souvenirs. Cabo San Lucas had pretty good water activities, and we went snorkeling there. Four of the seven days were spent on the ship itself, and I did a lot of reading (finished three books), a lot of eating, watched 4 movies (The Terminal, Stepford Wives, Something's Gotta Give, and Spiderman 2 -- only Spiderman 2 was really any good) and various shows. The food was really good, and that's good and bad at the same time. I knew I had to exercise self-control in that regard, but it's hard when you get to order four or five courses every night and everything on the menu looks good. I really appreciate being hungry these days.
