Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I’ve been quoted as saying “if I can’t afford Disney, then I can’t afford a cruise.” That was immediately following a hellish trip on the Carnival Sensation . Now that some time has passed and I’ve had a chance to recover, I’ve realized that I may have been a little hasty. I’ve recently revised my…
I just started playing around with the app, TripRider to plan my Disney Cruise last month. I’ll start off by saying that I am notoriously bad at planning things, like really really bad. The even the idea of planning stresses me out. So, I could really use any help I could get on that front…
I really wish I had more time to explore Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. It was one of the places I was most excited about visiting on my Disney Cruise, especially since so many people had compared it to one of my favorites, New Orleans. I unfortunately did not have too much time to…
This is the second time I’ve been to St. Martin/St. Maarten and both times have been on cruises, so unfortunately I’ve never had more than a day there. St. Martin (I’m going to use this spelling most because the Dutch language confuses me) is an island owned by two different nations, half Dutch and half…
I just returned from my first trip on the Disney Fantasy. It’s the first of many I hope. I’ve been on the smaller ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, and I was already smitten. So naturally I was very excited about a bigger, fanicer, newer ship! Disney has outdone itself again. I worked…
I’m freshly back from my recent cruise on the Disney Fantasy and still adjusting to life back on land. I’ve been on several Disney Cruises before, but this was my first time on the newer ships (Dream and Fantasy) that feature Remy. Remy is a fine dining French restaurant based on the Disney Pixar…
New Years Eve is a time of reflection for most people. A look back at the previous year and an optimistic planning of all the wonderful things you’ll probably forget to accomplish in the upcoming one. 2014 was pretty great for me. Here are some stats. Mainly, I just need them written down in public…
As of today I have officially been blogging for a year! I know that still makes me a newcomer in the blogging world, but we’ve all heard the statistic that most bloggers quit blogging after about 3 month, so I think that gives me the all clear to pat myself on the back a little. …
Cruises out of Florida are incredibly convenient if you live here. Really, it’s the cheapest way to travel. Where else do you get transportation, lodging, and food (lots and lots of food!) for around $100 a night (sometimes less)? So naturally, those of us that live near a port cruise as often as possible and…
I know, another Disney Cruise post! I can’t help it. I leave in 3 days and it’s literally all I can think about. So, as I was sitting in my living room trying to figure out what to pack, it occurred to me that a lot of these things were things I wouldn’t necessarily have…
