Yipes, just after we found air conditioning and an internet cafe, the earthquake hits. and we thought the four story building we were in had HAD IT? Cracks and creaks like we have never heard, glass shattering...Liz left in a hurry...I protected my laptop and signed off in a hurry without finishing the upload of the Video of the internet cafe?????
The earthquake stopped after about 10 seconds, but it was NOT FUN...The walk to the ship was also eventful, people jammed in the streets, buildings evacuated and horns like downtown New York...We got lost trying to find the ship...one of the streets gates was CLOSED on Monday...Started to look like a real bad day...but found directions from someone eventually, the police don't even talk english???
Anyway, back on the ship and really thankful, lots of people had similar experiences on excursions, one lady was naked when the earthquake hit...she had been diving to see some dolphins.???
All is OK, except the captain just informed us that we will NOT be stopping at Cabo tomorrow morning, but other than that Life goes on, no one was hurt, no one has any Flu....and we are enjoying all of the excitement...well, we could go without the extra crap...
Will try to post what I couldn't yesterday..
See ya tomorrow...Liz and Dick on the way to Cabo.....
Glad to hear you are okay! The one port you decide to not go with the crowd and go out walking an earthquake hits! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYou are still a solid geek by attempting to hold out to complete the upload! I guess a super-geek would have finished the upload and shut down gracefully ;-).
We leave for our Caribbean cruise Saturday night!

Geeks Rule!
PS: Bought a HP Mini 1000 Netbook ($400 at Costco) for the cruise and future home use! I'm loving it only 2.4 lbs and about the size of a book. Has XP SP3 no Vista baby!

I am glad You are OK. Now if would have gone swimming instead you would have never known about the shaker. Also glad your GPS kicked in to find your way back to the ship. Can't wait to see you home. Gerry
