... late in the day at 6:40PM (Athens Time). We were tired, but still energized with the excitement of returning to the sea. We will have spent almost half of this year aboard ship.<br><br>The ship that we are joining is the Royal Princess. It is a sister ship to the Tahitian Princess, our ship for the World Cruise. That will give us a familiar feeling as the two ships are outfitted the same. Captain Lawes will be ...

... it was a lone seal! Unfortunately, as we got nearer, we could see the poor thing was obviously sick as it was rolling its head back and forth in a funny way (see video). Later on, as we walked back past the seal, a group had gathered, and we overheard that the seal was going to be rescued. We sat and waited a while, but nobody came, so we headed on back - we'll never know what became of the seal....<br><br><br><br>

... switching off with some horrid energy drunk mixture....then off to wherever...<br><br>I had left my ID in Lola and had to go get it back before ordering...so off I went. Santa Cruz isn't too big and I just had to walk a couple blocks to get to where we...I thought...parked Lola. I'm on the phone with Billy, 2 sketchy guys all decked out in black walk by and I just continue along. As I get higher up this hill and start paying attention to what I'm doing, these guys start trying to ...

... the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance. Everyone is just waiting. NO! That's not for you! Somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing. With ...

... e ironico, no parodio a la gente de California. Los dibujaba como extremadamente positivos y exagerados en sus valoraciones. Por ejemplo, a la pregunta "Que tal estas?" si respondias un "muy bien" siginificaba que estabas regulin tirando a bien, que si decias "bien" es que te ibas a suicidar y que la gente optaba por un "nunca he estado mejor, mi vida es increible". Toda esta caricatura la temino con un "aparte de esto, la gente aqui es ...

... a nice big american car... Well... that was the plan... The American car turned out too small for all our luggage (Must be all those tacky souvenirs for people ;)) So we upgraded in size and now have a Hyundai Sonata to cruise around in :D BUT it has a Texas licence plate. It however didn't come with a complementary gun or even a gun-rack :( Our destination was San Jose, where we were going to meet up with Jennifer (a friend of Trude's), but we wanted to do a ...

... I wish I had written more. I was such an uninhibited writer when I was little! If I was mad, I said so. If I had a good time, I gushed over it. I want some of that back. Excited, apprehensive, ready am I. Here's a quick rundown. My program takes me to Madrid first, Toledo, then Barcelona. Depending I might not update again til I get to Barcelona. But I'll have lots to tell!

... gefunden und beide voller Freude 3 Kugeln bestellt... :) Am Ende hatten wir Eis fuer 15 Dollar gakauft und meinen Eltern wars schlecht... *GGG* Dann hamm wir probiert nochmal mit dem Cable Car zu fahren, aber man haaette ca. ne Stunde warten muessen... Da hamm wir uns doch fuer die Seeloewen am Pier 39 entschieden und denen ein wenig zugehoert. Um 15.30 Uhr ging dann die Tour nach Alcatraz los. Das war ...

... their order. I was pretty upset that I missed out on the menu meeting. I kept looking at the clock and it read 9:25 a.m. I was angry that I was sat so early. I didn't even get a chance to have tasters. Later, I convinced one of the girls that the Salmon plate was good. I went through this big rant on how it was wild caught fish from the Quinault River. The Salmon is as fresh as fish could get to a table. When the ...

... supporters there and proceeded to have a great night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plenty of nice shops in Sfran and the tram for all the steep hills were cool. china town not bad either for nosh but not the best side to the city. The highlight for me of Sfran is going down to pier 39 on a clear blue day (which are quite rare believe it or not due to all the mist it sucks from inland)renting a bike the riding along the coast watching ...
