..more cruise pics..

Just because I like 'em :)

This is the ship from the end of the pier in Progreso, Mexico. The pier was 4 miles long, so you had to take a bus to town.

The Lido deck at night..

Flamingos having some lunch in Progreso :)

The salt flats in Progreso, brought to you by your tour guide Pablo!

The Maya ruins in Progreso

And me & the Hubs being all close and married-like :)

..hola!..

I'm back, with MORE Mexico pictures, mwahaha! I wasn't going to post too many, but Lynn said she wanted more. And what Lynn wants, well... :D So here ya go :D By the way, you can click on them to see 'em bigger :)

This guy had his little coconut stand on the street. He just whacked the top off, stuck a straw in and you were on your way :)


There's me, my sister in law Jenn, her husband Steven, and my hubby in the reflection. This was our elevator at the hotel. There was one word for it.. HOT. Not even kidding.


This was at Pipi's Restaurant. They make your guacamole tableside and it was fan-flippin-tastic! That's a big deal, considering the fact that I don't even like guacamole!


Jeff breakin' it down in front of the arches on the Malecon (that's Spanish for waterfront boulevard). Those are his parents.. notice his dad is walking away in shame :D


This guy was doing some amazing sand art. Apparently they only make a new one about every week or so, depending on how much it rains. So we were lucky to see this one in action. Very cool.


Here's another. This one had been there for a while. You can see that they actually sprayed color on it when they first made it.


And that's my buddy Marv. We became friends at the marina.. until he got caught on a fish hook. He wasn't so much my friend after that.


Are you cross-eyed yet? :) I won't put anymore in this post. I will, however, give a big THANKS! to Marilyn and Eileen, who gave me this beautiful, shiny blog award.



Both of these gals have fun blogs, and you should go visit them. And I'm supposed to pass this award on. So, I give it to everyone who reads my blog. Seriously, there can't be that many of you haha :) But really, if you're reading this, take that award, stick it up on your blog and say, "Harley gave me this because she loves me!" It's the truth. I love each and every one of my blog pals. And one day, I will show up at your house to crash on your couch :D

Oh, and later on this afternoon I'm gonna restock my Etsy shop :)

Peace, love and koala fuzz ya'll :D

..i'm home!..

And playing catch-up! :) Mexico was a BLAST and I have so many pictures and SOO much to write and scrap. I'm not gonna post the long, drawn-out version. But I will give you some important points...

* You can NOT get Mountain Dew there, even though they carry Pepsi and Coke. I was one upset koala bear!
* Do your best NOT to get pulled over by police in Mexico. It is a scary experience! :)
* Most of the roads there suck, big time.
* People will drive 2 ways on a 1-way street.. watch out.
* There is no where you can go that you won't get hit up to buy something.
* The Mega store has the absolute BEST doughnuts I've ever eaten!
* The scenery, architecture and art is GORGEOUS!
* On vacation, even people with a fear of heights will zip-line 50ft. up and over 350ft. of jungle.
* I live in Bama, so I'm used to 98 degree weather, but Mexico is more humid than I have EVER seen.

That was as short as I could get it :) And now, some photos for your viewing pleasure!

..The view from our room..


..Our view at dinner from the top of a hotel in town..


..That's my dinner in there, flambe!..


..Our waiters making sexy coffee, and I swear that's really what it's called..


..Here we are!..


..The marina where we left from to go deep sea fishing..


..Me & J climbing some art!..


Ok that's all for now. I know it's overwhelming but there are just too many good pics :)

..hasta la vista, baby!..

Today's the day, I'm leaving for Mexico!! As I previously stated, I will have no laptop while I'm gone. I will however, have my incredible iPhone, on which I have the internet and my Google Reader :) With everything we have planned, I'm just not sure how much time I will get to spend on it.

I hope you all have a great next few days. And I will take plenty of pictures, don't ya'll worry :)

..is 9gig enough?..

So, we're leaving in the morning for Mexico..



I was informed last night that we will NOT be carrying the laptop with us. I immediately went into panic mode.

Me: "We're not going to be able to copy our pictures to the laptop, what am I going to do?"
J: "Um, well, we have like 4 memory cards, I think you'll be ok."
Me: "4 memory cards? That's not going to be enough, we'll be there a week!"
J: "I just counted.. we'll have 9 gig worth of memory."
Me: "9 gigs? Is that gonna be enough? I don't know if that's gonna be enough!"
J: "Calm down Shutterbug, 9 gig will be fine. That's like, 1575 pictures you can take."
Me: "Only 1500?!? We gotta get another card.. that's just not gonna do it!"

Ok, so maybe 1500 pictures will be plenty. But, it might not be. I mean, we have something planned every single day, and some days have two or three events thrown in there. I'm a photography major and a scrapbooker.. how can one put a limit on camera memory? :)
