Hello!

Hello,

How is it going so far? We just got back from having breakfast at the "Egg Connection". Elise is caring for Chris and I am doing some yard work behind Chris's house.

Here is a bit more about our cruise,enjoy!

4 Dec

We started our day at around 7:00am. We went to grab some breakfast before we met up with our tour group. We are taking the "Tour The City" of Puerto Vallarta".

We board a very tour bus with great views. Our tour guides name is Gina. We saw many sights of Puerto Vallarta. It is a very pretty place and many celebrities have homes here. So far this has been the best of all that we have done on the cruise. Wonderful place.

We stopped in a jewelry store in Puerto Vallarta and they were giving out free margaritas. Elise bought a very nice ring and so did Bobby. A good stop that I am sure was planned by the tour guide to aid the locals.

We stopped in a restaurant that was sort of hidden near the port. We had a very good lunch there. As we entered we received free margaritas. We got seated and we had quesadillas, guac, chips, fajitas , salsa and of course a few more margaritas. The food was delicious.

We returned to the Star and Elise took a short nap. I sat out on the balcony watched people return to the ship. All of a sudden music started blasting. I was coming from below where people were getting back on board.
Some of the crew was down there dancing and having a good time greeting everyone back on board. It was great people were dancing all over the place. It had turned into a docked party. Of course the music woke Elise up and she came out on the balcony to investigate. Bobby joined us on the balcony as well.

After that we went to a "Martini Tasting" . It was fantastic! Bobby was with us for this one. We each got six martini's at 3 ounce apiece for a total of 18 ounces. Wow! We were blitzed! We were not the only one's let me tell you. Nobody was getting up from there seats at all, because we couldn't. Man, that was fun. Here are the martini's that we had to taste. Actually this tasting took place on 2 Dec.

Le Fizz- Grey Goose Vodka/St. Germain/Lime Juice/Soda

Aviation- Bombay Sapphire Gin/Maraschino/Creme De Violette/Lemon Juice

Going Coco Nuts- Grey Goose Vodka/Barcadi Coconut Flavored Rum/Pama/Cranberry Juice.

Cosmo- Grey Goose Vodka/Cointreau/Cranberry Juice/Fresh Lime Juice

Apple- Grey Goose Vodka/Apple Liqueur/Cointreau/Green Apple Slice

Iceberg- Bombay Sapphire Gin/Blue Curacao/Fresh Lime Juice.

I must still be feeling the affects of those martini's, eh?
We Meet back up with Bobby at the Red Lion Pub for drinks that he treated us to. Elise and Bobby had a martini, a mojito for me.

After drinks we went to the "Grill" to have hamburgers, fries, and ice cream for dessert. We have eaten way too much and I bet we have gained at least 10 pounds so far.

Later Elise and I sat on the balcony to watch the sunset it was great. Later in the evening Elise and I are going to see a show in the "Stardust" lounge. Bobby will be having dinner with Gunther.

Elise and I enjoyed the show in the "Stardust". It was an acrobatic show much like Cirque in Las Vegas. It was excellent and the "Stardust" was packed for this one.

After the show Elise and I hit the casino. We beet $100.00 and we won $241.92. Cha Ching! Yeah! After that we called it a day. It has been a long day due to having to get up so early this morning. Another good day at sea on the "Star".
