Mexico Cruise
On a Saturday in February Tom and Patty received a letter from the President of AAA Oregon/Idaho with and invitation to sail to Mexico on the “President’s Cruise.” Now, neither had been to Mexico and it was never discussed as a vacation destination. But a visit to the Holland America website, learning about the ports of call and the MS Zaandam changed their minds, so on a Monday in February they went to the Clackamas AAA office and booked one of the last verandah cabins.
On October 22, 2006, Patty and Tom set sail from San Diego, on the Holland America MS Zaandam for a cruise of the Mexico Riviera and Sea of Cortez. Click on the images to get a better view of the pictures. Click on the words for trip report posts.
Cruise Report and At Sea
All Dressed Up
While many passengers headed to Copper Canyon, billed as the Mexican Grand Canyon, Patty and Tom opted to take a tour of Topolobompo Bay, and proceeded to run down the camera battery.
This was our favorite port of call. It was made more interesting because new-found friends and dinner companions Russ and Jean Pearce were frequent visitors and gave us a grand tour.
Cute Animals
All the stewards folded towels into different cute animals each day.
