Fort Lauderdale Today was devoted to shopping, and sure enough by the time we got to the airport to return the rental car we had 10 bags of newly purchased necessities to squeeze into our cabin. Half way into our shopping...
At sea So we didn’t get swooped up by the Bermuda Triangle and are now heading to Port Canaveral under sunny skies. Because we are changing cabins we decided we should pack up our belongings this morning. The cabin steward will...
At sea Here it is, Friday the 13th, and here we are in the Bermuda Triangle. Now if that’s not tempting fate, I don’t know what is. However, the weather is sunny and the water is calmer, and it would be most unlikely if we suddenly...
Bermuda Land at last. That is what a few passengers are saying – most of us would have been fine with another sea day. We docked at 8:30, and we went ashore at about 9:30. The last time we were in Bermuda I ended up...
At sea It is hard to think that if this had been a crossing to New York it would be packing day already. It is fantastic to think that we don’t have to worry about that for a long, long time. The water is still splashing over our...
Waking up this morning was very exciting. Not only did we have an extra hours sleep, but we were finally experiencing some rough seas. I sat on the windowsill watching the waves just below our window. When the weather is like this it is tempting...
Brian has taken to working out in the gym every morning. I am not in favor of working up a sweat, and enjoy the extra time in bed. The gym is quite small, but he has always been able to find an elliptical trainer. There is an area of the...
The ocean is still very calm, there have been a couple of pitches and rolls here or there to let you know you are on a ship, but nothing exciting at all. I decided that I have had enough education for a while, and even though the talks...
At Sea We went to the 3 morning lectures, then to lunch in the dining room. Next I went to another beading class in Hemispheres. I ended up having to buy a beading mat because my beads kept on ending up on the floor, plus I somehow lost...
We slept with the curtains open, so I awoke to see the sea outside. The best view ever. Now a bit about our accommodations. We are currently in an ocean view cabin on deck 1. I can highly recommend this cabin. It is very convenient for most...
Day 1 January 5th We had ordered our taxi for 11:30, and sure enough he was there and we loaded up all of the stuff into his van and headed to Ocean Terminal, getting there at 11:45. We filled out the health forms and went up the escalator. We...
We left home on a snowy Monday morning. Our neighbors gave us a lift to the airport so off we set with the 5 suitcases, 2 roller boards, one backpack containing camera equipment, and my large handbag in the back of their truck, plus 3 bags of...
