No Shopping But Bonding

 NO MORE SHOPPING FOR NOW... Our bags are full to the brim, my two suitcases are reaching 50lbs and that is the maximum.  My hand luggage is 20lbs and it should be 15lbs max.  I have another backpack on my back and a handbag in front.  Sigh.. ladies like me... we never stop learning, right?  I mean I cannot resist buying even though my bag is bloated, I still want to find the smallest space I can find to chuck the loots in.  Eventually, I have to "sacrifice" some of things behind, my old clothes plus a few new ones.

So... these few days, we are very "behaved."  Instead of shopping, we spent our time eating... that was in my previous post... and we went to pamper ourselves doing pedicure, going to our friend's house for good food and company... and for the remaining time, we have family bonding playing "mahjung", chatting at the patio in the evening and going for a "holler-coaster"ride around the vicinity.... Good girls, right?  LOL...
Some of the Food prepared by the hostess and a dish or two by us...
The desserts are superbest!

Our Asian friends... 
Being pampered instead of going shopping till dropping...
Showing off their well done work and not our elephant feet.... LOL....
Family bonding time at the patio..... 
And now.... shall we go for a drive???
I promise I will drive safely....
Unfortunately the Car Owner said No, I cannot be the driver...
Instead I shall be a passenger instead... 
Get belted up, girl!!
And the Holler-Coaster began... 
Taped it all on video... with all the ooohhh...ahhhhsss.. screamsssss...
LOL...

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
