Day 2 was a sea day so we didn’t do much except eat and drink. I am reading a book in Spanish and enjoyed a few minutes in the hot tub – it was crowded and should have been called a “warm tub.” Maybe I’m not a cruise person after all. After a brief siesta,…… Continue reading Making friends as the “Mexican Kim Kardashian“
I must be a cruise person now
I never thought I’d be a cruise person. The idea of being on a ship, seeing the same people every day & being trapped with them is just too much for my travel style. I prefer solitude & freedom to choose my own adventure. But the Boyfriend (dubbed Travel Boy by a Reader) found a…… Continue reading I must be a cruise person now
Going awake in Utah
I’m sure you, dear Reader are brimming with curiosity on how I found myself in Salt Lake City, Utah. T.B. -not The Boyfriend’s actual initials but he has been dubbed Travel Boy by one of my loyal readers. And since I love the dual meaning behind the initials, we’ll go with that. So T.B. has…… Continue reading Going awake in Utah
SL,UT!
I debated a few times with myself on whether I should blog a domestic weekend trip with The Boyfriend or not. And then I remembered, I’m the freaking author of this blog so I can write whatever I want! Everything is going fine between us, but before I make any more major commitments, I need…… Continue reading SL,UT!
Day 6: They let the flasher into Canada
I have this classification system. There a REI people and there are non-REI people. There are Burning Man people and there are non-Burners. There are Cruise-for-over-4 days people and there is Amy. I fall into the latter category for all of those. Now my parents… they are REI people and Cruisers (in fact they already…… Continue reading Day 6: They let the flasher into Canada
Day 4: Skagway. No thanks to a glacial facial!
Still adjusting to the time change, and waking up at 6am to ‘sunlight’, we found ourselves in Skagway, Alaska. Our excursion report time was 9am so we had a leisurely breakfast in the dining room. We have all agreed that the buffet is for lunch only. No one likes to wake up and have to…… Continue reading Day 4: Skagway. No thanks to a glacial facial!
Day 3: Juneau. “That whale is broken”
The thing about a massive floating Vegas-style hotel, aka The Ovation of the Seas, is the sheer amount of people traveling alongside you. And with that many people, the odds of encountering my favorite type of tourist (The Spatially Unaware cluster of families) increases exponentially. And sure enough, on my morning walking loop, I may…… Continue reading Day 3: Juneau. “That whale is broken”
Let’s try that again…
The day started off pretty relaxing until my realtor texted me that escrow was missing a document package I mailed LAST Friday within San Diego county! I guess since I mailed it from another country (aka North County San Diego), maybe I didn’t have enough postage applied for international post. Very distracted and trying to…… Continue reading Let’s try that again…
Seattle and it’s ‘heatwave’
All morning on the news, we kept hearing about the heatwave happening in Seattle and how people are having to stay cool. So googling the weather, I find it’s only 88 degrees MAX and they are struggling – clearly they have never spent time in Riverside where it gets over 100 during the summer. Guess…… Continue reading Seattle and it’s ‘heatwave’
“I need to edibilize myself”
Wow, it’s only been about 2 months since I last blogged, sick as all hell, from Mexico. Lots has been going on for me and I find myself in 3 escrows while on vacation to catch a cruise ship to Alaska! I don’t recommend it, at all. The multiple escrow part. I’ll let you know…… Continue reading “I need to edibilize myself”
