Had a bit of a chill-axing day today. The track was open so a good walk outside which I enjoyed. My knee is bothering me a bit not sure what is going on but trying to keep moving despite the tenderness. We joined the progressive trivia this morning. We are doing ok probably middle of […]
Day 6 – First day at sea on the way to Hawaii (9/22/19)
Had a fantastic day at sea. We were up early so went to the gym. I prefer to walk on the deck but it was too windy so they were not letting you out on the top deck where the track is. The gym was very crowded at 6 am. Needed to do some laundry […]
Day 5 – Shopping and touring in Seattle (9/21/19)
Today we enjoyed our first port, Seattle. We were here in Seattle last year and saw some of the sites so we decided to do a free walking tour of Pike’s Market. We love the European style free walking tours because the guides are always characters. Joe, our guide was excellent sharing the history and […]
Day 4 – Time to cruise! (9/20/19)
Our hop-on hop-off tickets we bought yesterday were good for 48 hours, so after breakfast we decided to kill some time and ride the bus around the city for over an hour. We had seen most of these areas before, so there were no shocking revelations. But it was still good to take one last […]
Day 3 – Last full day in Vancouver! (9/19/19)
Been a little tricky making our bodies understand than we aren’t on the east coast any more! 4am comes along and I think it’s time to rise and shine – been forcing myself to try to sleep longer. Did better today and we finally got up around 6:30. We aren’t in Hawaii but went to […]
Day 2 – Vancouver exploring the city (9/18/19)
Lots of walking to explore Vancouver today clocked in 22,900 steps – our feet are screaming a bit. Tomorrow may skip the treadmill and just enjoy city walking. Started our day on a harbor cruise. It was a gorgeous day to be out on the water. After a nice lunch on the harbor we did […]
Day 1 – Vancouver we have arrived! (9/17/19)
Well we got up super early for our car service, but it’s never quite as hard when it’s for day 1 of a big trip! Our car arrived at 3:50 and shuttled us over to Newark Airport. Check in and TSA isn’t too bad yet at that time on a Tuesday morning so we had […]
All checked in for our flight tomorrow. Packing continues…
Many of you know that I’m typically a last minute packer but felt for this long a trip I should think ahead so I’ve been putting things out on the spare room bed for a week or so. Yesterday I decided to pull out my packing cubes and get started packing. Well I’ve packed and […]
One week from today we will begin our journey
Not making out so well packing but I think most of my shopping for the trip is done. Our converters came today and I picked up a few new things to wear for formal night on the cruise. Alex still wants to pick up a few things but the lists are beginning. Lots to think […]
Retired about a week better get packing
I’m enjoying having my own schedule. Had an adventure with hubby in NYC, met some friends, took my aunt and mom to lunch, cleaned some closets and my house looks neater than normal. I’m settling into retirement well. I guess I should start thinking about packing. I usually pack the night before or morning of […]
