On the Plane
This is a top pick! I write this first entry from 20,000 feet above the ground, white clouds dotting the sky below like wisps of cotton. I'll post it from land, of course, though I was surprised to find "Free Public ...
Rainy Days, are we in the North West?
This is a top pick! So this was the first time we had packed up in the rain and it went just fine except we got wet. We kinda expected to drive out of the rain as all we have experienced on this trip is short showers of varying heaviness. This was more like UK rain where ...
Last Day on the Sea
It's our last day at sea and the wind is blowing pretty well. The Caribbean itself is fairly calm, but the boat is moving more today. We're all kind of on our own today since we weren't going anywhere in particular. Those of us staying up late ...
A week in Ocean City with the family
Its our third day here is Ocean City. My son, Tyler joined us yesterday and enjoying the beach. Mr. Bauer and I are about to drop my Harley off for service. The weather has been great until today I think!! I think its suppose to rain ...
The Big One
Captain's Log - August 31, 2007 - 1645 hours (between Mexico and Hawaii) Hello from abroad! Not even a week has passed but so much has happened. This post is going to be a long one, so find a cozy seat. I'll try and organize ...
Take me to L.A.
Thursday 27th- Monday 31st May 2010 Headed to the airport with Dylan via bus and train and after finally getting through American customs (which you go through while still in Vancouver) which involved rigorous questioning, ringing Phil to find out his ...
Sea days
Although it took a while for us to navigate our way around the ship without using a map, it took us no time at all to settle into a cruising routine - Celebrity style! For those reading in a hurry, I can offer a short summary of our first ...
Vacation!
I have some pictures to share of our week long vacation to Ocean City, Maryland in August. It was different than our usual OBX family trip in many ways, but we still had a lot of fun when the weather cooperated. Talia started Kindergarten when we ...
Love from the Pacific Ocean
... a few cars going into Mexico and a TON, literally, miles of cars stopped dead, waiting to get back into the states with vendors selling last minute souvenirs to tourists. The first city we drove through looked so poverty stricken - houses below ghettos ...
A Day At Sea
Waking up at sea is unlike your normal morning at home. There was no coffee readily available this morning. It made getting up and ready for the day tough. I needed an IV infusion of black gold, and quickly, but none was forthcoming!! Where was my ...
Tauchen im Komodo Nationalpark
Das Tauchen auf Komodo hat unsere kuehnsten Erwartungen uebertroffen und uns die Anreisestrapazen vergessen lassen. Wir fanden intakte Korallenriffe, tolle Farben und meistens waren wir an den Tauchplaetzen alleine! Wir sahen Haie, Adlerrochen, ...
Smooth Sailing - Merry Christmas
Second Sea day - more casual. We ate at Portofinos with Andy's parents. Good food made to ...
First day of classes
August 29, 2006 I have officially adopted 3 wonderful children aboard the ship. That's right. I have replaced the void of my fabulous little sister with Amelia, the 12 year old daughter of our philosophy professor. She's such a little tomboy and super ...
Almost to Hawii!
Well the last few days have definitely been interesting, mostly because we can not see land anywhere! It is a totally eerie feeling, especially when the voice announces in our midday report our distances from the nearest lands....I think the closest ...
a little bit of everything
... budget. They're all a lot of fun though and if you really want a good time go to a pub night in the middle of the ocean. 600 students all drinking on one deck with the ship going into a storm. It was so much fun! Everyone was running around getting to ...
Second Day of Classes
... for all, so when a low-income woman becomes pregnant, she gets prenatal care that is unattainable for a similar woman in the United States. The idea of universal health care is something that has always been something that I felt that the US needed to ...
Rough Seas
Following our delay due to the helicopter evacuation, we hit a storm that could not be avoided with strong headwinds and waves as high as 18 feet. They put barf bags in baskets attached to the railings of the stairways. I was glad I took my dramamine. ...
On the Water...
We are on the water between here and there... This is a quickie to let you know were alive and well and having a great time. The Internet access is actually pretty good speed wise and a bit pricey $$$ wise. More later and even some ...
Point Loma and Ocean Beach, San Diego
... the larger county have numerous beach communities along over 70 miles of shoreline, each of which has its own particular quirky character. Ocean Beach lies just south of Mission Bay Park and is mellow in mood and a bit on the grungy side. I ...
Day 2
This morning I was awoken at 8:00am by the sweet sound of tapping at my door and the words "room service". Is there a more welcoming sound? I ordered hot water for tea (I brought my own "preggo" tea that I must drink daily) toast and an English breakfast ...
Tropical Storm Ida
Juice's Corner: WIND. Today we are basically travelling through a tropical storm. VERY windy. 68 mph wind. The upper levels were blocked off because it was too dangerous. Yeah. It’s called hurricane IDA. So because of IDA we didn’t get to do ...
Day 4 Part 1
When the friendly room service knock came at my door I awoke with the thought "Is it really morning already?!" and almost yelled at them to come back later but decided against that and threw a robe on to open the door. My eyes felt heavy and I ...
I'm at Sea!
... better than I expected!), I went back to my room to finish unpacking. This is where I discovered that being on the open ocean definitely gives me quite the headache. I have yet to feel nauseous or anything like that, but anytime that I spend an hour or ...
Hawaii Towards Japan
... . I'm definitely starting to feel a little sea sick. A few days ago, they were remarkably calm. As far as you could look the ocean was just flat, like if you took a blanket and were shaking it slowly or something like that. Today I went up to the front of ...
Day 6
My last day onboard. Even though I didn't want to stay awake after my breakfast came I had to today because my first appointment of the day was to be at 10:00 am with Cruise Director Ray Rouse. I didn't feel awake but I put on a ...
...and slow it down.
... just someone else’s time and payroll. Here now in California all is rose (especially my cheeks). The sea is beautiful, Ocean Beach and all is inhabitants are my 15 year old self’s idea of perfect (suffers) and the pace is slow ...
