We are taking a little break for the next four weeks.
All has gone to plan, I am sailing through the Bermuda Triangle today.
Last year I didn't do WiFi on the ship, I called it a two week digital detox. I didn't find it made a noticeable difference. I will see if this trip feels different than last year with WiFi. Once we are on land, I will have WiFi in the hotels. I am not going to try getting my phone back online until we are home next month.
Where will we be? We were in Ft Lauderdale for a couple of days, we have stops in Bermuda, Weymouth, Southampton, Zeebrugge, and exit the ship in Rotterdam. After that we are spending a couple of days in Brugge, then London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. All together we will be gone a little over a month.
A much needed break.
As I update this pre-written post on Sunday, the sky is blue with a few big fluffy clouds. The seas are moderate, the ship has a gentle roll. I picked the cabin location for quiet, and in the process ended up in a location that feels more of the motion of the ocean.

I hope the ship Wi-Fi has improved since I last used it several years ago.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if it Brugge or Zeebrugge that is a really nice place to visit. Brugge, I think now. The British cities you have chosen are all wonderful.
The ship stops in Zeebrugge, a few miles from Brugge. After the cruise we are going back to spend a couple of days in Brugge. The shore excursions from the Port looked either way to short, or way to exhausting.
DeleteI read Zeebrugge and immediately thought of the disaster of 1987. May your travels be undisastrous. I love the selfie.
ReplyDeleteSo far no sea monsters or pirates.
DeleteIt's shocking that you do not appear to be wearing a life jacket in that picture. For safety's sake please ensure that you wear a life jacket at all times - even when taking a shower or vomiting into the sink because of sea sickness. Does the ship provide hamster-sized life jackets too?
ReplyDeleteThis far out to sea, if you miss the lifeboats, the lifejackets make it easier to find the body. If the sharks don't find it first.
DeletePrecisely Sailorman! That's another reason for the lifejacket!
DeleteWho cares if they find the body?
DeleteGreat selfie! Have fun on your voyage!
ReplyDeleteThanks, so far so good.
DeleteWonderful travels, Relish it all.
ReplyDeleteCreating memories for when I am old and feeble.
DeleteHope the weather cooperates and you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteBlue skies and smooth sailing
DeleteWe visited Bruges on our whirlwind tour of Europe back in '85 and loved it so much we stayed an extra day. The food and beer was fantastic! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOur style is the dillydallying tour, and even then there never seems to be enough time to see everything. I am looking forward to the food and beer.
