Carol & I, Bob and Barb with adjoining balcony staterooms on a seven day cruise starting in Los Angeles. Ports of call in San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Catalina, San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico.
As most of you know, I was born and raised in California, but by taking some shore excursions on the cruise, I gained a new perspective on the stops and understand why it's still on the top tourist lists. I learned things I never knew about Santa Barbara and San Diego even though I'd been there many times in my life. Also took the Alcatraz tour which I had never done before. Most of my prior visits to the City by the Bay were to watch my Los Angeles Rams beat the 49'ers. I think Carol and Barb were considering leaving Bob and I on the Rock, but we managed to "escape" with lots of persuasion and a little begging.
Next stop, Mazatlan, Mexico. Looking forward to this trip for some relaxation with my brother. So far, retirement has been exhausting !!! Something's always happening. No complaining, but definitely have some learning to do about pacing.
On the Rock !
