2010 Girls Trip!

Our trip began with Seattle Espresso in the morning and then we were off to Long Beach! Along the way we made a few stops and got to the cruise terminal with plenty of time to spare. Of course that's when the "Cluster" began.
The Carnival man yells out, get out your ID's and pre-printed fun pass. Fun pass...check.....ID....?....ID....?......Wait....Where's my wallet??? Yep sure enough my little Coach wristlet with my ID, credit cards, and $$$ mucho dinero was gone! We searched the car over and over again, searched my giant purse, tried to call McDonald's and the gas station where we might have left it, everything! Luckily I had my passport, but go figure it has my maiden name on it, where as my reservation with Carnival has me as a McConkey! So that took a while to sort out. Eventually we made it on the boat! After numerous phone calls to Mom and Justin I finally got my credit card and debit card canceled. Sarah, Sheri, Spaulding and Lindsey graciously offered me whatever I needed the entire time we were on the boat. Sarah even put me on her credit card! I'm so very fortunate to have the friends that I have who stood by me and made me smile! I love you girls and don't know what I'd do without you! Shopping in Ensenada! The girls found a ton of fabulous deals on designer purses, sunglasses and lots of other goodies! I even taste tested Tequila for Sheri!
We shopped, learned how to make animals out of towels, played/learned how to play Craps, Spaulding and I entered into our first slot tournament (we lost) and we laid out! Sarah and I had a massage and a facial which was super fabulous! We ate, drank, gambled, relaxed and laughed a TON!!

Overall our trip was pretty amazing despite how it began. Believe it or not I even won Bingo....TWICE! Lindsey won a $200 jackpot and I won both $160 and $250 cash prize! So 3 out of the 8 games that were played on the boat, we won 3 of them! Pretty exciting stuff! Winning bingo definitely got me out of my funk and it was smooth sailing from there! (no pun intended!) Ha!

Can't wait for our next girls trip, 2011 here we come!
