Day 1 of our 2006 Celebrity Mercury cruise to Mexico is in the books and it was a fun one! We boarded the Mercury in San Diego about noon. We grabbed a quick lunch on board at the grill and plotted out our day. The first day, Suzanne always likes to take her video camera […]
A Night in San Diego

Well, we arrived in San Diego yesterday afternoon after a bit of a drive. I had wanted to fly to San Diefo to get to the cruise ship, but Suzanne wanted to drive. In a compromise, we agreed to drive, but she would do the drving, which is a challenge in of itself, as I dont […]

Well, its finally here! Time to go on a cruise. It’s only been a year since our last one, but it seems like a lot longer. I guess the long, arduous year at work with minimal vacation time has made it seem longer. Tomorrow morning we will be driving to San Diego for our Monday […]

Wow! What a busy weekend. It was even a three day weekend for me as it was my Friday off week. Some of the activities though were self-inflicted. I put myself in a hole sleepwise early as I stayed up until 3:30 AM on Thursday night playing America’ Army. That game can be quite addictive […]
