Big Adventure Sea Day ?? Chef's Table for Dinner

 After yesterday, I'm kinda glad for a day to relax.  We have definitely put in some miles with climbing a mountain added in.  Taking it slow - some casino time (I JUST sat down when Mister took this picture, but I DO love the piggies), towel art,  and . . .

Port Day Number Two on Our Big Adventure - Sydney. Nova Scotia

 Today is Port Number Two and we are in Sydney.  Nope, not Australia (wouldn't that have been funny after wandering the seas?), but Nova Scotia.  Land is in sight again.

A Change in the Big Adventure - Port Day - Corner Brook, Newfoundland

After being on the ship for more than five days, we are all ready for our feet to touch land.  I have nothing but admiration for those who sailed the seas for months on end.  I'm not sure I could do it very well, even in this luxury liner, I am bored out of my mind.  Time to walk and explore a bit.  We are arriving in Corner Brook, Newfoundland today and since this is an all-new area for us, I am excited.  Mister and I had wanted to come here a few years ago, but wanted to go in October and had the sense that nothing would still be open.  Now, we can check it out and decide if we wish to return by car.  The approach to land is amazing --- watch along with us.

The Big Adventure Continues - Days 6 and 7 - Still Wandering the Sea and No Greenland

 6th - We are still wandering the sea, slowly.  The girls and I are working on projects on Lido and Mister goes to an Indian lunch in the dining room.

The Grand Adventure - Days 3, 4, and 5

 3rd - We have four more sea days before a port and so it's time to just settle in.  We did have another medical emergency late last night - the ship had to go back several hours towards Boston to meet a Coast Guard helicopter.  I was beat and slept through it all.  However, with a late start and two stops for medical, one that included a HUGE backtrack, we are not making much progress.  However, it's a new day.  Enjoy.

The Grand Adventure Begins - Off to Baltimore for Our Cruise to Greenland - Days 1 and 2

 Kelly and I booked this trip in July of 2022 and the wait has been sooooo long.  We are packed and Uber'ed to DFW a wee bit early.  I think Mister got just a little nervous as we had not used this method of transportation before.  All went well and even though we are early, we are killing time riding the train (after lunch, of course).  We meet up with Shonie and finally get to board the plane.  Look out, Baltimore, here we come.  A time change and we arrive in early evening.   I have landed in Baltimore before, but never spent any time here.  I'm looking forward to this.
