Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon January 9 - 11, 2013


A friend and I took a quick trip to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.  We left from Long Beach,  flew to vegas, saw Celine Dion in concert had a great dinner all on day one!  The next day we boarded a bus to view the awesome Grand Canyon.  We returned to Vegas had a bite to eat and flew back to LGB.  It was a very quick trip but we had a blast!

New Orleans & Caribbean Cruise December 28 - January 6, 2013




Some friends and I took a warm weather winter getaway cruise to the Western Caribbean on the Carnival Conquest.  The Conquest left from the great city of New Orleans.  Before leaving on the cruise we spent three days in N.O.  Both the city and the cruise were tons of fun! 
In New Orleans we visited the French Quarter, the river, down town and the garden district.  During our time in NOLA we ate too much, drank too much and had way too much fun! 
Our seven- day Western Caribbean cruise visited Roatan, Belize and Cozumel.  In Roatan we spent the day on a beautiful beach and snorkeled off a coral reef.  During our time in Belize we had fun cave tubing and hiking in the jungle.  In Cozumel we spent the day exploring Mayan ruins and swimming in the bluest water I have ever seen. 
Our ship, the Carnival Conquest was fresh out of dry-dock and it was loaded with tons of fun!  The staff was wonderful and we had a great time!
