We’re having a blast!! We left our last port of call today, Manzanillo, after a fun Jeep (or “heep” as we called it!) adventure. Rowland’s quite the off road driver. Yesterday, we were in Ixtapa and some place that I can’t spell (so I won’t try). We went to Ixtapa island and sat under umbrellas with the natives. The pelicans offered the most excitement for the day. Oh, yeah, and Carrie’s injuries! She bumped her head on the dingy boat, then busted her toenail getting onto the dock. The sad thing is that that was BEFORE the alcohol! For Valentine’s Day, the love of my life had a dozen beautiful red roses on my dinner table. I wouldn’t have expected any less!! He’s awesome!

The first port of call was Acapulco, and we enjoyed margaritas at Senor Frog’s before doing some shopping in town. We also walked around the Princess Hotel - absolutely gorgeous!! That night, we watched the divers go off the cliff. I begged Rowland to let me jump, but he’s so overprotective - just wouldn’t let me do it. I think the idea of my standing on top of the cliff without a shirt on is probably what scared him away from the idea!! HA!!

I have to throw in that the first night on the ship, my incredibly romantic and thoughtful husband gave me my anniversary present a little early. He gave me the most beautiful and original necklace with a diamond hanging off of it and gorgeous earrings with three channel set diamonds in each ear. Speaking of rocking!! He rocks!! He also took me to a special top-of-the-ship restaurant where we enjoyed the best meal I’ve ever had - yes, I even ate green peas which I HATE - and romantic dancing. I’m thinking about keeping him around for another 14 years!!

He’s looking over my shoulder now telling me that I”m going to be late for dinner if I don’t quit typing. I’m gonna sign out, but I”ll post pictures later. Rowland’s dear other brother Grant has my flickr upload working again! He rocks, too!!

Off to dinner and MORE wine……..
