There was a post on Digg this morning from Mail Online linking to details about the world’s largest cruise ship being built. Every cruise I’ve been on has been pretty enjoyable and I always look forward to going on my next. It’s like a city on water, and this latest cruise ship is no different.
In the picture to the left you can see that there is a built in rock climbing wall on the ship. If you click through you can see some other cool things like a very modern bar setup between decks, an interior shopping mall, and an open amphitheatre.
All this stuff seems pretty cool. The article says it will be traveling the Caribbean which is one of the places I’ve traveled to a couple of times and enjoy it very much. I wouldn’t mind taking a trip on this boat, but who knows what the cost is going to look like. It doesn’t look like it will be ready until late 2009 so I guess I have a little time to save some money.
I just checked into my room at Tower23 in Pacific Beach. I’ve stayed in some nice hotels before and I’m not too easily impressed. I have to say this hotel is pretty good though. It’s probably its IKEA-eske look and feel that I’m used to at home. What’s nice is that it’s a small hotel on the beach and I think I like that better than some of the really large hotels you might stay in Vegas or something like that.
I got my car vallet parked so I’ll see how that goes and make some comments at the end of my trip. The desk attendent had an accent that was hard for me to understand, but I think that’s probably just me. I have a terrible time with accents. He was helpful and patient with me which I appreciate.

I’m back from vacation now. I had a good time in LA and Vegas, but now it’s back to the daily grind. I will be continuing my blog posts as usual to check back soon. Nothing much is new, but I will keep you posted.
