Summer Cruisin'

Last November Maria and I went on a cruise to Ensenada Mexico. We enjoyed the trip and the experience so much that we are doing it again... just a bit unconventional.

Maria's cousin Jen was interested in going on a cruise and it is cheaper to do it by couples (spit the cost of the state room). I suggested that Maria go with her cousin and that opened the door for me to ask to go to Seattle with my friends in August.

As their cruise got closer and they began to get documents in the mail I began to get a bit jealous. Maria suggested that I find a friend to come with us and the four of us would go. Luckily I had just the friend in mind.

Rodney is always up for an adventure and this seemed to be right up his alley. I talked him into changing his requested vacation time and with his manager's approval I began to look for tickets.

Friday night I found some tickets but they were a bit more than what I had told Rod they would be. Sunday I ran the cost by him and he said that wouldn't be a problem. I got back on the computer and found that they were sold out!! I called and they told me that they were in fact completely sold out.

Disappointed I told Rod and that put an end to our trip...

If that were the case I would not be blogging about it.

Maria called me at work days later and had found a possible solution. She told me it was a bit far-fetched but that it might work. Another cruise line has a ship setting sail the same day from the same LA port at the same time headed for the same destination.

I told Rodney and he said he was game, so we are all four sailing to Ensenada, on two different ships, next weekend.
