Towel animals...and Chicken Pizza?...

Hey, what's up, dogs?  Still reporting on my Mexican cruise.  On one of our days at sea, my human and I happened upon what can only be described as a Towel Animal Convention.  Just look at all the towel animals lounging by the pool!

A couple of them found their way into our cabin and hung out with Ajdin and me.  We struck up a conversation.

So hey, Mr. Frog...I know we already saw Cozumel, but what else should I expect from this Mexican cruise?

"Ribbit.  Well, our last port of call will give you an opportunity to check out some Chicken Pizza.  Or so I've heard.  Ribbit."

Chicken Pizza?  All right!!  That sounds delicious.  I'm looking forward to it!

Viva Mexico!

Hey, what's up, dogs?  Last time I posted, I was on a cruise ship somewhere in the middle of the ocean, with no clue as to my destination.  

But what's this?  I think we're coming into port.  Land ho!  

This is Cozumel, Mexico!  

The weather's great today!  Look at this gorgeous beach...you can see our cruise ship, the Carnival Valor, in the background.  

When we got back to our cabin on the ship, there was a surprise waiting for us.  Not only had our cabin attendant made a towel animal friend...but we found an actual stuffie friend there, too!  

Yes, it's our pal Ajdin.  Apparently my human neglected to tell me we were meeting him for this trip.  It's not the first time my secretary has forgotten this very important detail, either.  (Grumble, grumble.)

But anyway...glad to see you, Ajdin!  Onward with our trip...

Just cruisin'...

Hey...uh...what's up, dogs?  I'm a little disoriented today...my human recently bundled me into a backpack without explaining anything, and the next thing I knew, I was adrift in the middle of the ocean!  Observe...

Apparently this is the deck of a cruise ship.  Well, okay, good...at least we've located the life preserver.  Hopefully we won't need it, but it never hurts to be prepared.

(Speaking of prepared...Hey, secretary!  Why didn't you tell me we were traveling?  I didn't pack!  Expect a pay cut when we get back!

...What's that?  You packed me a bag?  Oh.  Whew.  Never mind the pay cut.)

This ship is decorated for Christmas.  There's a tree and lights and gingerbread houses.  And there's music playing all the time.  Very festive.

Aha...this must be the name of the ship.  So we're on the Carnival Valor, eh?  That's one mystery solved.  But I still don't know our destination.  Any guesses, folks?...
