Today in Skagway, I had the luxury of sleeping until 7 am, a welcomed departure from my usual waking time. Kel opted to stay on the ship and catch up on sleep while Tommy and I ventured off the boat for the day. After getting ready, Tommy and I went to the main dining room…
Day 4 Juneau
Today felt quite long and hectic. Tommy rented a car, which was a relief due to the nonstop rain. We began our day with a leisurely breakfast in the main dining room, where I enjoyed an omelet and some fruit. Pardon my writing, but I’m a little tipsy at the moment after three consecutive alcoholic…
Day 3 Ketchikan
We awoke just as we pulled into port. After getting ready for the day, we headed to the buffet for breakfast. I arrived in the dining room just in time to see the fresh scrambled eggs being prepared, so I helped myself to some, along with bacon, hash browns, and fruit. After eating, we returned…
Day 2 At Sea
On the second day spent at sea, Kel, Tommy, and I started our morning with a visit to the gym. Despite the crowd, we completed our weightlifting session within an hour. Kel did the treadmill and walked around. It was challenging for Tommy and me, as it had been a while since we lifted weights….
Embarkation day!
It was our inaugural day aboard the ship! Following a light breakfast, we prepared for the day and readied our belongings. We eagerly anticipated the shuttle to transport us to the ship’s embarkation building. The shuttle ride was quite eventful. The driver navigated through heavy traffic, which sometimes felt a bit intense. Boarding the ship…
Journey to Alaska
Monday night. August 26 We just checked in our bags and breezed through TSA, making it the most effortless security check I’ve ever experienced. Currently seated at our gate, I’m gazing out the window, eagerly awaiting our airplane’s arrival while observing other planes take off and land. Later that evening, on the flight to Seattle,…
All packed and ready to go
I’m all packed, and I’m now puttering around the house, carefully checking my list to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I’m pretty confident that I have everything I need. Kel and I will be meeting Tommy at his workplace, and then we will be heading to the airport tonight. We dropped Tommy off this…
A slow Thursday
O’Malley still naps under my desk every day. There have been times when I accidentally put my foot on him because I forgot he was there. I’m unsure about what to write today. Lately, I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for next week. It looks like it will be in the 60s,…
Random Wednesday
I had breakfast pancakes with sugar-free syrup and two scrambled eggs earlier today. I justified this as it being my first of two meals for the day. And I won’t be eating unhealthy snacks today. I have some carrots for when I feel the need to snack later. However, I felt uncomfortably full after eating,…
An off day
Next week, I’ll be in Vancouver—that’s almost hard to believe. In a week, I’ll be on a cruise ship—we’ve been waiting for a year. It’s that time again—when everything feels off, emotions run wild, and every cell in your body seems to be screaming for a break. That time of the month is never fun,…
