My intentions were to sleep very deeply and long, since I went to bed at 5am! But, my phone rang at 9am (8am) in Lima. It was one of my customers wanting to talk about business. Ok, I’d take care of this later. I was thinking about what to wear and remembered the nice top Mel gave to me. Thank…

Desperately trying to lighten my load.  Have been building a pile of things to pack over the past month or so, and am trying to weed out all the excess.  Unfortunately, there really isn't much I can eliminate.  I've gone through the items at least five times by now, and will probably…

Wow, this flight was longer than expected. First, we didn't departure on time and then we had to wait after landing until there was an available gate. We were supposed to arrive at 5:30pm but we did it almost at 8, grrr. But this wasn't the only thing. Just before landing we experienced a not fun a…

Going into Miami, I had set two sporty goals (besides dancing at the Phish shows): scuba and frolf. I attempted (and failed miserably at) the scuba dive on the 30th, for better or worse. That left frisbee golf for the 31st. I figured the odds of getting sea sick were less on a frolf course at the M…

Saying goodbye to our floating "home away from home" is bittersweet.  You've just had the time of your life and garnered lifelong memories, and now it is back to the everyday routine.  Disembarkation began in early as the ship docked before dawn.  Our flight plans were…

On the inbound journey from Coxumel, Mexico to Miami, Florida we spend a day at sea. I enjoyed the leisure’s of the Freedom of the Seas cruise vessel. I spend time in the pool and relaxed.    In the evening the Cruise Ship encountered some rainy and turbulent weather. To be honest I …

 We decided it was time to visit friends and family in Miami, therefore we went for a weekend of fun and food. American Airlines was as messed up as usual and we ended up arriving 4 hours later than expected. Unfortunately if you fly out of San Juan, American Airlines is the one with more flig…

Spending the whole day at sea. Sleeping in, taking a swim in the pool, checking out the kid's area H2O, playing minigolf, eating and just relaxing. Finishing of with a nice dinner and a show :-) What more can we wish for?

I'm starting to wonder if I'll get bored being alone for an entire week.  I tried this thing last week where I went out for a drink by myself during happy hour just to test my limits.  But I went to my favorite "cheers" like bar.  Although I didn't know any patrons, I knew the owner …

It is not a form of agrandisement, we just call the area where Miami is located, The Greater Miami and Beaches.  Miami is actually a rather small city, but it has plenty of satelites that make it  ... Greater!!!  Those include the posh Coral Gables, the bohemian Coconut Grove, the ov…

We contacted other friends from highschool and we all agreed to go out to party on Friday night. I haven't seen Ana and Monica, since we left highschool and we were close friends. This would be a great reunion.Ana and Brandon were on holidays in Miami - they were living in Ohio; Monica came from At…

Miami ... one of my favourite cities in the world !

By Sunday midday, we were on our way to the Carnival port to finally begin the voyage.  As soon as we got on the ship, I knew the next few days would def be well spent.  The decor and overall ambience were awesome.     

The phone rang early in the morning, as I requested. I had time to get ready without rushing, nice! Then I went to the lobby and we were a group of people in our way to the airport, but I was the only one flying to Peru. I arrived to the airport, dropped my bags, went through security and started t…
