Really looking forward to following along! We are a 2 hour drive from Long Beach so have sailed this itinerary many times. It will be cool on the first and last day, but warm while you’re in Mexico. The water is warm down there too. 

🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’ve heard horror stories lol

We vacationed in Cabo for a week about 15 years in July.   Maybe I’m just used to the warm Caribbean waters, but the water in Cabo that year was downright COLD.  There were very few people swimming in the ocean due to how cold it was.

Well crud! I don’t go on CC for a day and now I’m all behind on yours, Greg’s and Sid’s reviews. I’m gonna have to call off work tomorrow so I can catch up 😀

I’ve been to Cabo in the spring before and the water was cold. it’s always been warm though when we’ve gone in November and December. Hopefully it will be the same this year too!

This is what I’m afraid of. I ordered a long sleeve bathing suit… hard blink and then I was still afraid it will be too cold on the excursion but I don’t wanna miss out so I went to Academy and got workout pants that kinda match. I got bright colors though. I’m a firm believer that people get attacked by sharks and what not because they are dressed as seals. Black and camo need not apply.

Number 4 and final for the night… roots touched up, laundry finished. Gonna watch Amazing Race and call it a night.

Great start, I’m looking forward to following along. I was on the Panorama in October and was surprised by how good the drink service was at almost all the bars, not many stingy pours. A few were so strong I had to leave them behind because I didn’t want it to be my last one for the day, lol! Our group especially enjoyed the bartenders in Pig & Anchor, definitely a good hang out spot in the evenings, my daughter and son in law were in there every night. Beware of the Smokey Watermelon Margaritas or maybe I should say enjoy! 

Looks like you might get decent weather on Saturday, I live 90 minutes north, we’re supposed to have rain through the weekend but the storm will hopefully stay north of Long Beach. The water out in here in the Pacific is cold, probably qualify as freezing in California for those used to the Caribbean, good thing you are bringing the “swim clothes”. The water will be warmer in Mexico but not Caribbean or Florida warm and it was uncomfortably hot and humid on land in October, looks like it will be perfect next week, can’t wait to read all about it! 😎🍹😎

My mornings are sorted with all these cruise lives. (I’ll just be playing catch up with the time difference)

Hope the weather is kind to you. Have a fabulous time.

I was really close to it, but the layover in Vegas won’t hurt too badly. 

I wish you better luck than we had last year.  Our Vegas layover turned into an overnight stay because of cancelled flights (this was right after the new year when everyone's flight were getting cancelled).  We had options in Long Beach and figured we had a better chance getting out of Vegas with multiple flight options instead of staying in California another night.

Had a full morning at the school taking Holiday photos for the PTO. I love that everyone wants to do these things and then only 2 moms do them all

Yes, the Pacific is colder than the Atlantic. I remember one private snorkel excursion when the guide jumped in the water first. My Spanish is mostly limited to curse words, and he used them all.

Enjoy the water, no matter the temperature. It sure beats my only option this week, my shower! Have a great cruise!  Glad to be along for the ride.

Mobile check in complete for the Renaissance. And AllState Rewards came through!! 🙌🏻

Getting the oldest ready to head to Weatherford, OK for the Christmas parade. DH will “man” the littles spelling words and dinner. Then he’ll drop them and all their stuff off at his mother’s. After the parade, I’ll take “Anna” over there as well, and then, I’m home free.
