Good morning - well actually afternoon. I just returned to the cabin after a morning in the gym, Rainforest and spa.... tough life I know! I started with an hour workout in the gym at about 700am on the elliptical and the treadmill - even ran a couple of intervals. Noticed that running forward while the ship is rocking left and right is a wee bit challenging on the knees and back. After I finished my workout - I took a shower in the heavenly showers in the ladies locker room, put on my swimsuit and headed for the heated loungers. I stayed there for about an hour until Wendy came and claimed me for my treatment. I had the ocean wrap and massage.... one word. HEAVEN. I did my impersonation of a baked potato (wrapped in foil) slathered in marine algae mixed with mud and baked for about 30 minutes. Then I took a steaming shower and got a wonderful massage on my back. Wendy agrees with me that I tend to carry my stress in my middle back between my shoulder blades - that is where she found all of my knots - I had so many knots it is fitting that I am on a ship at sea!! After my treatment - I headed back to the Rainforest for another 30 minutes and decided to needed to get some lunch - since I skipped breakfast.

So - I decided to head back here - drop you a quick line and then head up for some lunch. We have moved into an area with very high winds - which head seen the end of our glassy calm seas. The Captain just said in his daily noon update that it can easily have winds of 30 knots without any weather systems being in the area - according to the television "update from the bridge" we have 20+ knot now... no wonder we are moving...

Heading up to Acapulco tomorrow morning - arriving right before lunch. Lesley and I have a walking/shopping tour scheduled (that's right - me not so shopping girl) and a Palo dinner at 700pm after we return to the ship. I had such a wonderful spa treatment this morning - I scheduled another on Tuesday afternoon at 2pm....

Well - I am going to go and get some lunch - I am actually hungry! Talk with you later!!
