Our group (all 29 of us) decided after meeting two years ago on the Triumph to meet again. Since most of us had already done the Caribbean, we voted on doing the Mexican Riviera, giving those on the West Coast a break for a change.

We arrived on Saturday before the cruise and stayed at the Holiday Inn in Long Beach. Tired from the long flight from Philadelphia, some did the "crash and burn" while others, especially the kids opted to go to the pool. A few people went out to Pizza Hut, brought them back and had a great time relaxing after a long day.
