Arrival in Hawaii
The post I wrote on my Blackberry from the plane got lost, so this is the only post I’ll make today. And it’s going to be short because I am SO tired. No problems with the trip from Washington to Los Angeles. Didn’t get any sleep, but we watched Baby Mama on my iPod. Tina … Continue reading
We’re Back
Just a quickie post. We made it back fine, got home last night around 9pm. All the flights were on time and everything. We spent several hours hanging around the airport in San Juan, and then had barely enough time to grab dinner in Atlanta before our next flight. Fortunately, that flight was only about … Continue reading
A Day at Sea
Sea days are a little on the boring side, if you ask me. I was woken up at 10am by the cruise director making a long announcement about the disembarkation talk, which is great to attend if you’re a first-time cruiser, but pretty useless if you’ve been there and done that. We laid out plans … Continue reading
Aruba – Our New Home?
We had an outstanding time in Aruba. We got there really early, and we had to roll out of bed early for an 8:30am tour. It was with the Pied Piper group, and there was some confusion in the morning because the bus was supposed to be private, and there were a couple of women … Continue reading
Kayaking in Bonaire
We spent today in Bonaire, which I knew only as a scuba destination, because a friend of mine spent something like three weeks here over the summer. We arrived in the afternoon as planned, but we didn’t tender as expected. The cruise director made an announcement saying that we had actually docked, and we should … Continue reading
Brief Grenada Stop
We didn’t do a whole lot in Grenada. Because we spent a week here in 2003, there was nothing we really felt obligated to see; there are a couple of geocaches on the island but none of them are anywhere near the cruise port. If :A: were also into geocaching I would have suggested taking … Continue reading
Visiting Dominica
Today we had a much more leisurely time getting going in the morning. I was surprised that I didn’t wake up until something like 9:30am, but :A: said she wanted to let me sleep so my burn could have more time to heal. I brought my laptop up to the breakfast area and had my … Continue reading
Playing in St. Maarten
I’m writing this in Notepad, because I’m not planning to get online tonight – it’s almost 11pm already. Our excursion tomorrow isn’t until 11:15am so I will probably just bring my laptop to breakfast so I can upload this entry and check my e-mail – I didn’t do that today either. Today we did the … Continue reading
Traipsing Around Old San Juan
This morning I had to do that test for linguistics, but I couldn’t get the wireless working at all. I eventually gave up and used one of the computers in the lobby – thank goodness there was one available. I discovered that once you logged in, you couldn’t stop the test, or you would be … Continue reading
Relaxing Day
We had a pretty relaxing day today. We started it in the hotel swimming pool, which was cold; I counted to 5 and got in but :A: didn’t at first. (I can’t ever do anything on the count of 3, but I always do stuff on the count of 5.) I splashed around for a … Continue reading
