Puerto Vallarta I woke at seven in the morning the day we pulled into our first port of call. Puerto Vallarta holds special memories for me. Never one for the excursions, I took a taxi to the shopping district to pick up some jewelry for my girlfriends. Then lunch at the Hard Rock Caf and a stroll on the beach. Late in the afternoon I flagged another taxi and went to my special spot. Anyone who didnt know about this place would think it is just a very

Second Fun Day At Sea My second day started out with coffee in the main bar, followed by hustling some pensioner who thought he was a hotshot at gin. After lunch, I played some bridge in the card room. Before dinner, I went to the onboard casino and dropped at roulette, but made it up in a pick-up game of Texas Hold Em. For dinner I went to the high-end supper club rather than the main dining room. I ate steak and lobster, drank a good bottle of French wine and had cheese and fruit for dessert.

Cabo San Lucas Cabo is the most beautiful stop on the cruise with its awesome rock structures, hills, and greenery. I often come down there to stay with friends who keep condos or boats there. One problem with stopping at Cabo is that the harbor is too shallow to actually dock, so you have to wait in line to get on a shuttle boat. This trip I didnt feel like waiting in line so I decided to stay aboard. Having the run of a nearly empty ship is a lot of fun. After breakfast I went to the salon for a haircut, shave, and massage.

Mazatlan After my trip to Donna Ygnacias I returned to the ship and slept well. When we got to Mazatlan the next morning I woke up, called Dea for a wakeup blowjob, showered, dressed and ate a quick breakfast. After a quick cigar and perusal of my e-mail I caught a taxi to the local country club for a round of golf. I was paired with a young couple from North Carolina and a banker from Phoenix.

Chapter Embarkation I had just made a killing on a quick in-and-out stock investment and decided to spend some of my profits on a nice cruise. I called my connection with a major cruise line and booked passage for a seven-day cruise of the Mexican Riviera. Something I had discovered on an earlier cruise is that the father of one of the ships captains was the best friend of my own grandfather when the two of them grew up in a small village in Italy. From this key connection I was entered into the "inner circle" of the cruise line. You might ask what this special treatment entails. Well, first off, I dont have to go through the tedious waiting to get aboard ship.

First Fun Day At Sea I went to bed early that first night, tired out from the traveling and the sex bout with my maid and steward, Ramon and Dea. I had a light dinner and after my customary cognac and cigar, I retired with a good book and some classical music on the stereo. The first day at sea I rose early, calling for breakfast after a quick shower and shave. I donned my white slacks, navy shirt and captains hat, a gift from my friend the master of this vessel.
