Tuesday, November 12, 2024 Today was a planned day at sea. We got 16 at trivia and WON! Actually, we tied but won the tie breaker. (How many years between Jackie and John Kennedy? I knew it was more than you think, so our 8 beat 3 and 5.) Simon suggested we go late to […]
Monday, November 11, 2024 A loud bing bing bing sound woke us up at 7am this morning. We were supposed to be docked at 7am, but apparently, we weren’t. The captain announced that they were expecting wind of 30 knots but had just had several gusts at 65 knots. They were checking all the things

Sunday, November 10, 2024 Since we’ve been here twice before, we set 9am alarms – no need to hurry off the boat. I woke up three minutes before the alarm beeped, which was perfect. We went to 10am trivia. There were only three teams. We got 16 (again!) and tied. We didn’t win the tiebreaker.
Saturday, November 9, 2024 Keith took this on our way to breakfast. We have a great location on deck 6, aft. When we come out of our hall there is a bank of elevators that no one uses, because there are about 14 rooms in this area. We can pop right up to deck 14
Friday, November 8, 2024 We slept way in after being up very, very late last night. We set our clocks forward an hour today, which kept surprising me all day – the opposite of best-day-of-year. My phone didn’t switch times, so I repeated was off an hour. Getting up at almost 10, then napping didn’t
Thursday, November 7, 2024 Keith, too! Keith, too, went to Africa. We were in Tunisia. I said, “We’re in Africa,” a couple dozen times today. We started at the Tunis Kasbah, or government center. There were a lot of Tunisian flags flying. It is a red flag with a crescent and star on it that
Black Wednesday, November 6, 2024 We woke up to the horror of the election results. I just wrote some strong opinions that I deleted and am going to keep to myself. We had breakfast late, and Keith was undercover as a staff member. He forgot to wear his little hat. It took us a long
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 We visited Cagliari on the island of Sardinia today. It was a beautiful 72 and sunny. For the first time that I remember, we did not sign up for an excursion. We set an 8am alarm, but I couldn’t get woken up until 9. We lingered over breakfast and finally walked

Monday, November 4, 2024 We are aboard the Island Princess for 10 days. A couple days ago we got an email saying that we had been upgraded from an inside cabin (cheap and dark) to a window room. I didn’t think I would care if I had a window – the example picture showed the
Sunday, November 03, 2024 Jet lag is going on here. I slept several half hours last night while listening and rewinding The Imitation Game. We landed about 11am in Rome, and figured out how to get to Rome train station. They don’t really seem to want to give you all the information you need. We
