We Went On a Land Cruise

We went on a land cruise, and had a blast!!  A few weeks ago, our resort announced that they would be hosting a land cruise. This was a new activity for our park. Monday at happy hour was the bon voyage party. Everyone got a lei and a free drink ticket. 

On Tuesday we visited five ports of call: Germany, Italy, Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii. Kevin and I hosted Germany at our home. The park provided decorations and free brats and beer for our stop. The event was limited to 200 people. Passports had been given out previously to those who stood in line to get one.

Others in the park hosted the other four stops at their homes. Italy served pizza and Limoncello, Canada served shrimp cocktail and Caesars, Mexico served margaritas and taquitos, and Hawaii served Mai-tais and a fresh fruit skewer. Our friends manned our table for a little while so we could go and get the yummy food and drinks at the other countries.

On Wednesday we sailed to Antarctica.  There were six whale tales hidden throughout the park. Clues were given as to where they were. The first two groups to find them won a bottle of champagne.

On Thursday we had our welcome back to port concert. Upon arriving at the hall, we were treated to a slider hamburger and a free drink. The band was called Ship Happens. They played lots of great songs from the 70s, and encouraged the audience to dance. At one point about 3/4 of the audience were in a conga line. It was so much fun!!

We continue to stay busy golfing. Last Wednesday, we played in the couples league with James and Elaine. Kevin had a birdie on hole number seven, and we won third place. Elaine took some great pictures.

Ready to play on hole number 2

The Omicron virus is currently peaking in Yuma County. We're not golfing this week and pretty much staying home. The Canadians versus Americans golf tournament is scheduled for this coming Saturday. We'll see what happens regarding that. I hope the virus peaks quickly and we can return to normal. Up until now, we felt very safe in our RV community. However, quite a few people in the resort have gotten Covid in the last two weeks, and we're being careful.

We're hoping everyone out there is also staying safe and healthy!!
