Another hot, sticky day in the Caribbean. We had a 9:30 Panoramic tour of the city. We met our bus and were off on our tour. Roosevelt was our guide. We first stopped at the fort built to protect city from pirates. We were allowed to walk around and take photos, but...
We pretty much repeated our day from yesterday. For the Baggle game we played from the halfway point of the steps and then the top of the stairway. That was a bit daunting. It felt like I could go tumbling down the steps with my beanbag. I’m happy to report the blue team won today! We...
we had a busy schedule today. First was a hearty breakfast at 9:00. Then on to Baggo at 10:00. Baggo is the Australian name for corn hole. Bunny elected to just watch, but I took my turn for the blue team. First we had to throw to the diagonal board. So if I was on...
After breakfast in our room, we went to the disembarkation area and walked along the pier to meet our tour. Luckily, the young man who was checking our tickets was only half way along the 200 meter pier. We were too early. We had the second tour at 10:30. It was windy and warm...
Today was tour the ship day. I can’t say I’ve learned my way around yet but I have 137 more days to figure it out. We had a light breakfast in the buffet, then headed off to the guest services to ask questions. I put myself on a wait list for class in batik later...
We had a complimentary breakfast at the Westin, packed up all our things and waited in a ballroom along with 200 other passengers. Because Bunny’s last name starts with a C, we were on the first bus to depart. It took 30 minutes to make the 10 minute drive to Port Everglades, the ship terminal....
As we made our way to Baggage Claim after a very short night with no sleep, we were met by a young man with our names on his phone. His name was Rodrigo and it was wonderful to have him deal with our bags. We followed him to a big Cadillac Escalade, black, of course....
on Thursday evening we met at Bunny’s so the driver could pick us up for the ride to LAX. it was a drizzly evening and I was worried about traffic on the freeway. We left at 5:30 for a 10:30 flight! As you can see from the photo, we have a lot of luggage....
During the next 5 months I will attempt to send out this Blog so you can keep track of our grand adventure. This is assuming the WiFi and internet are working properly on the ship. Most important of all is assuming I don’t screw this up!! I have spent a couple weeks with my very patient...
It’s not surprising that this happened. The cruise line dropped Israel and added two more stops in Greece. We will be seeing Kalamata and Cyprus. I guess we’ll be seeing some olive groves in Kalamata!‘we are both very disappointed to miss Israel. We were looking forward to seeing Bethlehem and Jerusalem. I guess it can’t...
