Fucking Norbert Part Deux

Oh Norbert you fucking bastard. I woke up around 9:30 or so and went down for breakfast. We don’t dock until about 12 so there is plenty of time to eat and then get a quick run in before I go on shore for a two tank dive. While on our way to Cabo, I notice that there is another cruise ship heading the opposite direction, which I thought was a bit on the odd side as it was morning, and ships normally get into port on the mornings. Regardless, I did some digestive walking and then headed towards the gym and ran for 30 minutes which equated to about 2.65 miles. My time for a mile is getting better. I get done and have some time to rest up before heading down to the gangway where chartered ships take us ashore, since Cabo is too small to dock cruise ships.

Starting to develop cabin fever….

Nothing special today as all I did was just run on the machines in the gym. I was woken up after a nice 4 or so hour nap from the previous night. Went to eat a breakfast that consisted of fresh fruit. I downed a bunch of bananas because I was planning on running so I needed the potassium boost. Then it was a quick walk around the deck to help digestion and I hit the gym. Ran about 3 miles, rested, and did the stairs from the top deck to the bottom deck of the ship, about 9 floors. Heh, then I went to the casino to cool down.

Hooray for Boobies!

I was woken up around 11 in the morning on day two. Breakfast consisted of three bananas – most of the other breakfast stations were closing, so there was only one left and there was a huge line. Blah, bananas are good for you. Hung out and played big 2 with the family again, my mom’s friend is starting to get a little better, but is still very slow at the damn game. She’s starting to pick up on the subtle strategies involved. One rolls around fairly quickly so we head in and have lunch. Hooray, more rabbit food for me. I did indulge in a few egg rolls, they had the Thai sweet and spicy chili sauce, so I just couldn’t help myself. I had planned on hitting the gym today as it was closed when I tried to hit it last night, I missed going again today.

Off To Mexico

I’m sitting here on the Lido Deck of the Carnival Cruise ship Pride, over looking the dome that once housed Hugh’s Spruce Goose and the Queen Mary in Long Beach. In about another hour, the ship is set to sail towards Puerta Vallarta. I’ll still have internet access, a total of 250 minutes for the next 7 days. I’ll see about updating this with pictures and such as the trip progresses. So far it’s nothing but old people, kids, and couples…. alcohol isn’t covered… so in addition to being single on this fun little Mexican Riviera cruise, I get to stay fairly sober.
