Sunday Evening Quickie

Our dinner at the "mansion" was wonderful.   The hosts were so gracious, the food was wonderful...all in all we had a great evening.  I did take advantage of the elevator because my right knee is really acting up.  In fact I'm here at the house this evening while the rest of them are off to dinner at another home...because it's hurting so bad...I'm moving very slow.  Thankfully, I have Ibuprofen, Tylenol and my knee brace.  I just came into the house to iron a few things and then I need to start packing.  

I'm hearing on the news that a wind & rain storm is supposed to hit the Los Angeles area Monday afternoon.  That's not exactly what I hoped for.  That will make it ugly driving on the freeway & leaving the port. 

I'm not sure if I'll use the computer on the ship, but if not, I'll post another entry Friday afternoon when we get back here to the house.

I hope everyone has a good week, take care....Linda

I'm glad your dinner was great, nice about the elevator.  Hope your knee feels better soon, remember ice then heat.  Anyway have a great time, can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get home, with any luck we might be gone by that time.  Joni P.S.  Don't worry about the weather it changes all the time.:)

Glad you had a nice time at the 'mansion'.  Can you imagine dusting a place that big?  They probably have a maid.  Hoping the wind dies down for your departure!!!  It was terrible here today - the wind rocked the house all day.
Take care!  Have FUN.
Hugs, Kathy

Hi Linda,
Well we are home now safe and sound after the Mexican Riviera Cruise.  WHAT an experience.   Unfortunately I got motion sickness which was a surpise as I NEVER get sick...I did my best to enjoy everything but could not eat very much.
I am still feeling a bit quesy even after coming home.
The cruise was more than I could imagine and well worth every penny spent...and boy that would be very easy to do if you are inclined to enjoy your booze.
I was shocked when I went to pick up our tab but forgot the excursions would be on it as well.
We left from the same pier you did I think #93.   Boarding went quite well but coming off took much longer.
Our trip down was long as we had a layover in Vancouver, BC before we got to LA.
The weather was warm and I spent a bit of time on the top deck at the pool but did not want to overdue it as this white skin could burn real easy.
I hope you have as much fun as we did.
The last day in S. Ca. we did the Disneyland trip and of course our grandsons were in 7th. heaven...but so was Nana and Papa.  

Blessings,

Lori

PS hopefully I can figure out how to put some of the pictures we took on here.

That's too bad about your knee.  Hope it resolves itself enough to allow you a good time!  Although, you are one of those few people who doesn't let anythng spoil your fun.  You just go on and on and on, in spite of a "hitch"!  No pain is going to stop Linda, right???  LOL!  J
