I WENT CRUISIN' AND I SURVIVED!!!!

Well time sure does fly when you're having fun!! Spring break has come and gone but all I have to say is I definately enjoyed my 10 day vacation!!! This year for Spring Break over 200 students from Utah State went on a Mexican Riviera Cruise! It was awesome!! I left on a thursday with three of my other friends and we drove from Logan to Mesquite then Friday from Mesquite to LA where we went to Downtown Disney of course and experienced the magic of the happiest place on earth! We also spent some time at Newport Beach taking in the California fun :) The next day was super exciting cause we headed to the port and boarded onto the Norweigian Star, our cruise ship that took us on a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera!! We had three stops along the way: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerta Vallerta!! It was so much fun! It was warm and sunny while in port and the seas weren't too rough until the last day. I took lots of pictures as you can tell and made lots of amazing memories. For those who know me well, you may be shocked that I even stepped onto that boat due to my horrifying phobia of the ocean. Well I am here to say that I did it, I survived, and I didn't even cry :) This was a huge accomplishment and I'm so glad I had the courage to face my fears! It was a wonderful week and luckily we didn't run into any trouble with the cartell, just a stubborn cop who tried to ticket us but luckily he let us off after about an hour of negotiating!! We arrived back in LA on Saturday morning and our car then headed to Huntington Beach California where we played some volleyball and walked around the shops. Later we went back to the fabulous Downtown Disney and enjoyed an evening at the ESPN zone to cheer on our beloved Aggies in the WAC trounament! Of course we won and we were super excited! That night we stayed in a ghetto hotel in Buena Park and woke up in time for church on Sunday. After sacrament we headed back to Utah and 14 hours and 4 states later... we were home safe and sound! It was a trip I will never forget! Alot can happen in a week that's for sure! But I'm happy and I'm still loving life!!! Now I just have to get used to this chilly weather again! I miss the Mexico sun!
