It's tough to take pictures of dolphins. Trust me... all those white specs in the water are dolphins jumping. When we left LA I got a great shot of a dolphin on my first attempt. This is the best of 20 shots I took toward the end of our trip. I resorted to just shooting pictures wildly hoping to get something - this is the best that I got. For what it's worth, the dolphins seemed happy to see us! We also saw some whales (I didn't have my camera at the time) and lots of flying fish.

Here's us at dinner on our anniversary. This meal took 3 hours to eat! We had to choose the entree that we wanted and then we automatically got all of the appetizers, salads and soups on the menu. That cake in front of us was given to us by the staff after the dessert we'd already eaten. I've never been so full in my life. If you enlarge this picture, you'll see "Happy Anniversary" spelled out in chocolate on the dessert plate.

This is a picture of Cabo San Lucas, and unfortunately, this is as close as we got to it. There's not a port in this town, so the cruise ship was planning on sending people to shore in their life boats. Hurricane Norbert was a few days out and the water was choppy enough that the captain canceled this port visit. It sure looked nice...

We were fleeing from hurricane Norbert at this point.
Here's a shot of me in the pool - the day before our return to LA. Although it looks very sunny and warm the weather is actually quite windy and much cooler than it had been while we were in southern Mexico. Right after this picture was taken I got out of the pool and wrapped myself up in towels.

It's the last morning of the cruise and we're back in Los Angeles. Our bags are packed and we're ready to walk of the boat and regain our land legs. This shot was taken off our balcony.
