Well, last night we finally made an executive decision on the plane tickets to Vancouver. We ended up using frequent flier miles for 2 tickets and purchasing outright 2 tickets. We will have to go out of the way through Dallas to get there, but the total expense for the 4 of us to get […]
Alaskan Cruise Excursions
March 6, 2007 by 4 Comments
We have decided upon our excursions for our upcoming cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury – or at least most of them. The cruise is an eight day round trip cruise from Vancouver, so a bit shorter than we normally do, but Alaska is an expensive cruise and we will be cruising with […]
Alaskan Cruise Airfare

Our cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury is approaching fast. The cruise is in mid June of this year. Unfortunately, we still don’t have our air arrangements for the cruise. The cruise is round trip out of Vancouver. Air travel these days is unpleasant at best. I remember the days when air travel […]

Our wonderful Mexico cruise on board the Celebrity Mercury has come to a conclusion. On Friday morning, at about 7:00 am, we docked back in San Diego. Being that we were driving home and didnt have a flight to catch, we had a late disembarkation time. We were able to enjoy a bit of breakfast […]

December 1, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The last two days of our wonderful cruise to Mexico have been spent at sea. We absolutely love the sea days on a cruise and always wish for more of them. To our surprise, the kids have recently said the same thing. I think they get a little bit run down going ashore and doing […]
Day 9 – Manzanillo
November 29, 2006 by 3 Comments
Today was our final port of call in Manzanillo, Mexico. The ship docks in a large industrial shipping port and getting off the ship can be a pain in the butt. You get off and get on a bus that transports you to the center of town where you can get on a taxi or […]

Today, our ship, the Celebrity Mercury, docked in Zihuatenejo, Mexico. This town is a small, quaint little fishing town on the coast of Mexico. It looks almost the same as it did 3 years ago when we last visited. Most of the other ports we had visited, had changed somewhat in the past three years. […]
