Cruising The Pacific Ocean en route to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico - January 18

daily activities

Mostly clear skies, with the occasional fluff of cloud, 28 degrees


Gaining an hour as we travel west continues to be worthy of mention, anytime I can gain even the smallest amount of sleep is cause for celebration – I don’t so much care about gaining time, but the sleep, oh the sleep! Going to bed before 9:00 doesn’t hurt either!

hope today is uneventful as I have been planning on a sea day blog post to answer some of the comments people have made. I love that people read the blog I really, really appreciate it! I also love reading the comments so…


Hopefully it goes without saying, but if not…everyone who mentioned that the trip looks great is right…it is!

The internet has been surprisingly good for most of this trip so far. I have learned to expect poor to terrible Wi-Fi, I’d call what we’ve had good. On previous trips I’ve set a photo to post and found something else to do. This time my photos are posting in just a few seconds.
