My wife and i went about a month ago. Did you take the submarine trip in Cozumel? It was worth the trip.
Looks like a blast Doc. It's good to get away for a while. I'll be leaving in 10 days for San Diego for a 9 day stay.

Remember who you're kin to once you get there, PPG, it's a different world once you cross that last mountain! :D
Pass a good time!

Yeah Pete, when I drove there 3 years ago, going down the western side of the mountains on Interstate 8 was like Alice sliding down the rabbit hole. A whole new world opened up on the left coast. At least it was in technicolor.

Mark, it looks like yall really had a good time. Nice pics too.
Cook some rice !
Took that trip 2 years ago with my wife...Had a blast.
Me and my wife and son just got back yesterday from the same cruise but we went out of Mobile, AL. Last year we didn't make it to cozumel b/c of the swine flu. We went went several other friends and had a blast! Mark, how was the boat's crew on the one you went on? We went on the Holiday last year and the Elation this year. The Holiday was a smaller boat but the crew was exceptional! The crew on the Elation was NO WHERE near as nice, they even told our boys that had to clean their own room!:eek: I will go again but it WILL NOT be on the ELATION:mad: Then they didn't have any comment cards to fill out so I will be going on line to make a few.:rolleyes: We didn't let this keep us from having a great trip though.:D Glad yall had a great trip too.:D
dewayne, the crew was very nice. granted they were all from somewhere else. didn't see a single "american" that worked on the boat. maybe except the cruise director. he was from texas. but everyone was nice, oiur steward was really helpful and fun to talk to.
i went out of galaveston on the elation for a 7 day cruise and as i recall, the crew was very nice. don't recall any bad memories, and bad ones tend to stick with you.
i would highly recommend the triumph ship. it was big enough to have everythign we needed, but not so big that it was overpowering.
we did see the oasis of the seas in cozumel. it was, how do i say, FREAKIN HUMONGOUS. it holds almost 12,000 folks, passnegers and crew. i heard that it has 16 pools, an ice skating rink, a movie theater, etc. now that's a big ship.
