Adventures Away!

YESTERDAY I WENT ZIPLINING THROUGH THE JUNGLE. Coolest thing I've ever done. We got to go on a crew excursion in Peurta Vallerta. We took a drive up to the mountains and visited Canopy Adventure Park. A team of five hilarious guides took us through what I guess you could call a course of ziplines. We also got to do two rapels (sliding straight down) climbed a terrifyingly high rope ladder and went on what they called a tarzan rope where they spun you so you were spinning around the whole way across the line.
I got a whole cd of pictures but I can't load them onto my computer. I'll borrow someone else's that has a disc drive and upload them asap.
Today we're having another relaxing day at one of the resorts in Cabo called Niki Beach. Eating fruit, sipping a pina coloda and swimming in the ocean. Life is pretty darn good.

WEEK FIVE

The worst blogger ever strikes again! It's now our third week of being fully operational but our fifth week of being on board! How time flies. It's insane. Each saturday we say goodbye to a whole group of guests and the next day we start all over again. It definitely makes time go by quickly. I think I would have a really tough time doing three or four day itineraries. Seven days is pretty perfect. We always get most of the day in Peurto Vallerta off and then we alternate who gets first and second Cabo days off. First Cabo is longer so it`s more of a beach day. Today is Cabo two and we came to this restaurant called Senor Sweets where the internet is free and breakfast is delicious! Last week I had first Cabo off and we went to one of the resorts called Niki Beach. It has a gorgeous pool with a swim up bar and all of these gigantic canopy beds and it`s right near the ocean. There`s a twenty dollar minimum for food and drink but that`s easily done when you`re as tired of crappy ship food as we are! This week in PV we got treated to a Port Adventure. We took an hour long boat ride (pina coladas included) to this place called Las Caletas which is basically a private beach right in the middle of a full on jungle. There was a mexican buffet and then all kinds of water activities. Kayaking, snorkeling and also hiking. Sadly we only had an hour to do all of that because we had to get back to work but I couldn`t complain.

The job is both fulfilling and exhausting but I love it. It`s pretty darn cool that I get to hang out with Mickey and the Gang every single day. The ship is all decorated for Christmas but it definitely does not feel like November. It`s so weird to hear of people having snow and wintery weather when I`m sitting next to a palm tree and staring out at a beach.

Well, I have to go catch a tender boat back to my ship now. More to come!

Love you all and miss you!
