3 Vacations in 1

It's October 15th. About two weeks since I was on vacation.

My skin has just stopped peeling and I finally have stopped feeling the rocking of the ship. Those two glorious weeks of vacation were wonderful. I did not rest much but being able to take the time away from work proved much needed.

Our schedule was hectic. We basically had 3 vacations one after the other.

Vacation :: 1 :: Indiana With the Kims (Sept 18th - Sept 22nd)
We went to Indianapolis to visit our friends from high school. Hannah and Ki Young Kim. The moved from LA to Indianapolis earlier this year and we haven't seen them since. Our time consisted of camping, fishing, meeting up with old friends and overall just enjoying each others company.

Vacation :: 2 :: Catalina with Ngaihtes (Sept 23rd - Sept 24th)
Catalina is just off the coast of Long beach. We went to Catalina with my parents and brother for just one night. It was short and but nice. The town is really quaint and has a number of things to do and see. I would love to go back again.

Vacation :: 3 :: Mexican Cruise with Malabuyos (Sept 26th - Oct 3rd)
The much awaited cruise. This cruise was planned for about a year and a half. It was a blast! We had about 25 to 30 of the Malabuyo side of our family on a one week cruise to Mexico. I have to say that I have been officially converted to cruise vacations. It really is the best way to vacation with family. We are definitely doing this again!

:: Our ship, Carnival Splendor ::

:: Dinner was always in the dining room. I miss the Melting Cake ::

:: Some of the cousins took a family portrait ::

:: The whole Gang ::

:: We did an ATV shore excursion in Mazatlan ::

:: There was mini golf on the top deck so we played a round ::

:: The ship had music playing in most of the rooms with areas to dance ::

:: Senor Frogs in Puerta Vallerta ::

Vacation 2010!! Thank you for 2 amazing weeks! Can't wait til Christmas!
