Cruisin' to Cabo

The company Ryan used to work for does a cruise for their sales guys as a performance bonus so we got to go.  We took Alli with us, which we were kind of worried about, but she did FABULOUS! I couldn't have made her any better or any happier if that makes sense. She slept great, ate great, and was totally happy seriously the entire time!  I was completely amazed.  The last night she got some gas so she was kind of sad during the night, but still she fussed, passed the gas, and went back to sleep.  It was really fun because there were probably less than 10 babies on the ship (there were over 400 kids though) so the staff and passengers gave her so much attention (probably why she was so happy).  The staff members were so cute because they would see her and remember her name so they would come up and talk/play/make her smile.  The one potential dark sport about the whole vacation was that we realized Wednesday night at about 6:00 that we had never gotten birth certificate for her.  Luckily we could get one at the Salt Lake Health Dept. early Thursday morning before going to the airport.  Both flights I just fed her during take off and she slept the rest of the way.  We gave her some medicine for seasickness to start off with to make sure she didn't get it, but on the way back from Cabo we didn't give it to her and she did fine.  I just keep thinking about how happy she was so it made the whole trip fun.  In Cabo we went Deep Sea fishing with some other people from our group and while we were there we saw a pod of dolphins, a sea lion, a marlin jumping out of the water, and Ryan saw a school of flying fish.  Sadly, they didn't catch anything-we came back quick because some of the people with us got really seasick.  We got to swim out in the ocean though while they were waiting for the lines.  Then we went snorkeling-Ryan and I switched off- and I saw a stingray! It was pretty cool. Anyway, then we walked around Cabo and shopped for souvenirs for Alli-two bracelets and two little dresses before getting back on the boat.  One comical (kind of sad though) thing about Cabo is we would get offered bracelets in one hand and cocaine or weed in the other- such a different way of life down there!
