Markay and I are off to the Mexico Riviera on Carnival's Splendor ship.
Our granddaughter graduated from high school in June, so Grandma andMarkay are off to the Mexican Riviera. We left grandpa home to keep up
the chores at home and catch up on his yardwork.
We left from Long Beach and set sail for a seven day, fun filled cruise.
Markay is dressed for the elegant night. We ate almost every night in the dining room. She wasn't too impressed with the dinners but it was fun to get to know our servers who were from Russian and India.
Sunset off the back of the boat--two jacuzzies and the adult pool.
A little windy up on deck eleven--this was just before Markay slipped on the damp deck and fell pretty hard on her wrist and elbow. She was in a lot of pain, and she was taken by wheelchair to the infirmery. Upon an exam, they wrapped her arm and sent her back to the stateroom with ice and ibuprofen. We weren't sure if it was broken, but she thought it was! It turned out to be a bad sprain and we could continue our cruise.
Our first stop was Puerta Vallarta. We took a city tour and did some shopping. Then we stopped for lunch and a swim at the beach. The following day, we were in Mazatlan.

The following day, we were in Mazatlan.The excursion we originally planned wasn't available but we did see the old part of Mazatlan and the Golden Zone. We had a great lunch watching the parasailers on the beach and, of course, all of the locals selling their wares on the beach. We got real good at saying NO!
Here we are on the boat in Cabo San Lucas getting ready to parasail. We opted to go first out of our group and had a great tandem ride. She had the most fun in Cabo. I think she wants to go back.
Here we are taking off from the back of the boat.....actually that's not us but that is our guideand the boat.
Our cruise is coming to an end. We have one day of sailing before we return to Long Beach. Markay and I will have great memories of our trip and look forward to more trips together. Grandpa survived on his own but he's happier now that I'm home and back to our routines.
