Jet lag finally seems to have departed my body. It was a great sleep after a great day of catch ups, and I woke feeling refreshed. We spent the morning around the dining table just chatting- it went far too quickly. After big goodbye hugs with Lori and Moira’s mom Jean, Moira very generously droveContinueContinue reading “Good byes, bad entertainment and mediocre Disney check in service”

Exploring, a third amigo joins us, and I nearly meet a gopher!
After a less disrupted night from jet lag, it was really hard to force myself to get up at 8:30, but Imanaged. Moira and I bundled off in her car for an adventure involving brunch. We drove out to very pretty Port Gamble to explore. This historical town has an unfair amount of charm. WeContinueContinue reading “Exploring, a third amigo joins us, and I nearly meet a gopher!”
Vikings and pirates are not the same thing.
Waking up in the Viking village of Poulsbo was delightful this morning. My first bagel fort 2024 and some cinnamon tea. I love Moira’s home and the backyard is just gorgeous too. The summer day was perfect, almost more like spring, We hung out, then went exploring down the mainstreet. Poulsbo’s Viking souvenir game isContinueContinue reading “Vikings and pirates are not the same thing.”
Planes, shuttles and a ferry.
Second leg: Last time I had this short a time between connecting flights that required going throughUS customs, we missed the flight. Thiankfully, this was not the case today. Customs isolated both my bags but not for anything serious and I got through quite quickly- giving me time to get a strong iced coffee toContinueContinue reading “Planes, shuttles and a ferry.”
No rawdogging a flight for me!
I had a really early night and when I woke up, I thought it must be at last midnight. But no- just 10:30pm. It was a night of tossing and turning if I’m honest, until about 1. My 4 am alarm found me bleary eyed and not bushy tailed. I boarded a shuttle in theContinueContinue reading “No rawdogging a flight for me!”
Stupid! -Like a Donkey (heading out to my high school reunion!)
This morning was spent joining airline app and typing up loose ends before my bus to Sydney. I am glad I went back in to my emails from the Aunt Betty travel site through whom I booked my airfare last year. As I was trawled the emails from Aunt Betty, I noticed one entitled ‘travelContinueContinue reading “Stupid! -Like a Donkey (heading out to my high school reunion!)”

In which 8 food babies are created.
Friday! It was hard to believe our cruise had gone by so fast and this was our last full day. After the lethargy of Thursday, we awoke with some renewed energy. (Disclaimer: I might be using a royal ‘we’ here. When it says ‘we’, read ‘I’. 😛 ) No one planned to eat much breakfastContinueContinue reading “In which 8 food babies are created.”
A quiet day.
I didn’t mean to start my day with two breakfast- just sort of stumbled into it. After putting a massive load of washing on in the laundromat, we had a leisurely breakfast at Cabanas, Lots of seating just outside Cabanas and alongside the pool and Funnelvision (outdoor movie screen I haven’t explained the ships restaurantsContinueContinue reading “A quiet day.”
A collision of themes- AND some Disney magic finds Pamela
We woke up to land ahoy today after days of only the ocean. It was fun sailing slowly into Noumea’s industrial port as we enjoyed an early breakfast. After a rundown of what time to return to the ship in our groups, we set out to disembark, showing our passports and tickets to the worldContinueContinue reading “A collision of themes- AND some Disney magic finds Pamela”
