Pacific Princess, Wednesday Morning/Afternoon

For those of you not sleeping off hangovers due to last night's jaunt into the fictional future, it was a beautiful morning just off the Mexican coast. And about mid-morning, the ship would be pulling in to dock in Puerta Vallarta. If you do decide to head off onto dry land, just be sure to make it back before the ship leaves at 6pm sharp! And for those of you who don't feel like venturing too far, there's still plenty to do on the ship itself.

Everyone will find their berths (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WkKrmx5MH_RzSOoh6u9cOhYswyUTr02UddPv3rW9nNQ/edit#gid=0) on the Aloha Deck, with outside twin rooms (that have either twin beds or a double for your moddable needs) that provide a view of the ocean as it goes past. (Keep the NSFW in private journals, please!)

Explore the various buffets around the ship! Eat nothing but dessert if you want! No one's gonna judge. Much.

Maybe you're in the mood for a swim (http://www.ssmaritime.com/Pacific-Princess-Mid-Pool.jpg) on the Lido Deck? Of course you are. There's another pool (http://www.ssmaritime.com/Pacific-Princess-Aft-Pool.jpg) further aft, if you prefer it.

Enjoy the view or play a game of shuffleboard! Does anyone under 80 know how to play shuffleboard?

The city's popular boardwalk by the beach is lined with shops, restaurants and artists selling their wares. Begin your stroll at the Los Milenos sculpture by Mathis Lidice and head southward.

Accessible only by boat, this secluded cove on the southern shores of Banderas Bay is surrounded by lush jungle and features pristine beaches for an exclusive private paradise.

The cathedral features a gilded crown, a replica of one worn by Carlota, empress of Mexico. A 1995 earthquake damaged the crown and sculptor Octavio Gonzales created its replacement.

Discover the fascinating process of tequila making, from its origins in the blue agave cactus to your glass, and sample Puerto Vallarta's finest at Hacienda Doña Engracia.

This series of uninhabited islands offers kayaking, snorkeling or scuba diving around the periphery of the islands.

Get acquainted with new underwater friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center. Kids can kiss the dolphins and meet their curious babies, while adults may indulge in a once-in-a-lifetime belly ride!

I still really want a hamburger.

Oh, Cosette planned to cram every last little thing she could into her adventures today, but this particular excursion was at the top of her list.

Was she going to explore the jungle? Absolutely. Because it was an actual jungle instead of the pretend one she visualized every time she used to play in the convent garden. It even smelled jungle-y, if you asked her, not that she would know what exactly jungle was supposed to smell like. She'd probably just tell you it smelled like this.

Atton sat down at a random buffet - he didn't even check if it was the least terrifying, which meant he'd wound up at the most terrifying - and ladeled anything onto his plate that looked vaguely edible.

Last night had put him in a contemplative mood. Don't take advantage of it, staff.

You know, Atton wasn't actually looking for a lot of excitement today. Getting off the ship, losing himself in the bustle of the boardwalk-- it was nice. He'd just.. wander.

Continuing that Jedi contemplation streak he'd been on since yesterday.

Of course Edward was heading over here-- and into the jungle. He'd only heard of the likes of them before, and being here... it was magnificent.

Unlike Cosette, however, he'd be spending a whole lot more time climbing on things than anything else.

"Hello there!" Edward called.

From up in a tree.

Don't ask how he'd gotten there.

After spending some time on the boardwalk, Obi-Wan had chosen to go somewhere slightly quieter for his next bout of exploration. This church was a lovely testament to local religion; he'd roam about for a bit, and then sit down to observe who else it drew in.

"At least we are off the ship," Cassandra muttered, mostly to herself.

Of course, she would be trading the ship in for a much smaller kayak in just another moment. She had missed physical activity while on the ship (the push-ups didn't count) and she was eager to get back into it, even if it wasn't her usual type.

"NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Guess who just realized that the technology blackout meant that she'd missed the Agent M finale.

Go ahead and guess.

Maybe nobody would recognize Four under the wig (http://www.purecostumes.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/70703_full_1.jpg) he was wearing? Please?

He needed to get better at shuffleboard or to learn not to make bets with Sia Fel. One or the other.

"You always were terrible about figuring out how to take time off," Anakin teased softly, not wanting to disturb the tranquility of the space.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Obi-Wan said lightly. "This is very relaxing."

And an excellent place to practice and deepen his understanding of the Living Force; the connection that many had had to this place was practically tangible.

Anakin smiled. "It is," he admitted.
