Ahhhh!  Sweet Paradise!!!!  We took a cruise to Catalina Island and then to nowhere for 3 days!!!  Talk about relaxing, nowhere to go and all day to get there!!  Catalina Island is just off the coast of L.A.  The Wrigley's used it as a spring training place for the cubs, and then for a retreat for their employees.  It is very quaint and adorable, and suprisingly reasonably priced!!  If you get the chance to go it is sooo worth it!  The second leg of our cruise was supposed to be in Mexico, but with the whole swine flu thing we weren't allowed to go on shore.  As a trade off we spent a few blissful days at sea, that is once I got over the whole seasickness thing!!  Yikes!!  To compensate the lack of shore excursions, the ship had tons of activities onboard for those few days.  We even did a walk for the Susan G. Komen foundation. At the end we got real pink lemonade from real pink australian lemons.  Our cruise director Stu brought them with him.  We saw dolphins swimming at the front of the ship, who knew that really happened?!  There was a 24 hour ice cream bar, and the best chocolate cake in the world at dinner!!
