Part 2- Baja

On the second day we got up early because we were planning on going golfing at Catalina Island. I was hoping that the way it was scheduled would be that Matt and I could be a couple at a different tee time than everyone else that was golfing. I have only really been golfing a few times and was just more interested in being with my hubby and spending time with him than the game itself. Well we met in the lobby and me the "golf pro" for the ship and he told us that there were only 2 other guys that were going to be golfing so it was going to be a fivesome. Great! That meant that I am going to have 3 other men, people that actually know how to golf, watching me as I swing and try to hit the ball. I was thinking I was going to be so embarrassed! So we left the boat and got into a little boat that took us to the island. We rode in a taxi to the club house and got our carts and a few drinks for a long the way (Dr. Pepper and water) although one guy we were with drank 10 beers during the course of 18 holes. I couldn't believe he could still hit the ball!! The course was so beautiful and was so green and pretty. Matt said it was the by far the nicest course he has played on! They had a few women's tee boxes so I was excited for the slight advantage. I knew I would need all the help I could get. The golf pro, Jordan, helped me out and gave me quite a few pointers and didn't make me feel like an idiot. In fact all the other guys didn't make me feel dumb either. I had a few good hits and quite a few not so good hits, but we had a really great time. The weather was so nice about 60 and we were loving it. Loving the fact that we knew we had left snow behind and were enjoying "short" weather! Golfing took us about 6 hours and after that we walked around the little town and got a few souvenirs and then we went on a glass bottom boat and saw quite a few fish coming to get something to eat from the people on the boat. It was kinda dumb, but it was inexpensive and after spending $218 on golf, I wasn't looking to spend too much more on a shore excursion at Catalina. After the glass bottom boat we headed back to the cruise ship and got something to eat at the 24 hour pizza place and the lunch buffet. (There is not a shortage of food on the ship!!!) We walked about the boat for a little while and rested in out room. Then we got ready for dinner. Monday night was elegance night so we dressed up and went to dinner. I had lobster and shrimp and Matt had Prime Rib. It was the best meal of the cruise!! After dinner we went and listened to some Karaoke. It was hilarious. It is so funny how people act after they have had a few drinks. The lady hosting the karaoke called it "liquid courage" it was fun! We again were tired from a long day of being out and about. I don't know why, but we just couldn't seem to get caught up on sleep. Tomorrow we are going to be in Mexico!
