Back to the rain cycle

This morning it rained fairly hard in Merced. Yesterday was the only stop in the pattern. There is a chance that it will get clear today.

The cabinets came in yesterday at the house. Just the skeleton from which doors and tops will be installed. I am afraid that Sue will not be happy that they are not as darkly stained as she wanted them.

I was remembering today in my walk about the first trip we took to Mexico on the ship. We all assembled at various times during the night before and woke up in predawn hours to board the expedition and all of its luggage to Anaheim for a day at Disneyland courtesy of Kelly and Reza. We ate breakfast at a little fast food spot in Sanger, just south of Fresno. The wheelchair was lashed down by the resident engineer.

We arrived in Disneyland in time for our reservations at the Blue Bayou. What fun. That night it rained in Disneyland and we all looked for something warm to wear. The boat was waiting for us in San Pedro the next morning. We boarded the Vision of the Seas and found our cabins in the bottom of the ship. We had a cabin in the center of the boat cabins. Our cabin was set up for four people. It had two sets of bunkbeds which is really unusual for an inside cabin. Kelly and Reza had a cabin similar to ours on the same deck.

I banged my nose in the middle of the night and had a nose bleed that scared all the kids. It was okay with a little pressure.

We had a great time in Cabo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. High Seas followed us home. Reza had a great time on eco island excursion, Linzi and I had a great time to Concordia and the French Mexican search for gold and silver mines. Kelly and Sue got to see the big dance show and the hanging fliers and bought some hand made coffee cups. We did a lot of hanging around and relaxing.

It was a great trip and a welcome change over weather like today.. rain rain and more rain.

It is however easier to be off like I am today than when it rains and class needs to be taught, so it is okay.
