New York Magic: Travel Day

on
September 12, 2022

Good morning from The Parking Spot shuttle. That happened really fast. I parked and the shuttle picked me up. There were seven of us. Those of us going to New York City on Spirit are last to be dropped off.

I used the kiosk to print off my boarding pass…

New York Magic: Planning

on
September 9, 2022

Booking
I booked this cruise during a Carnival sale back in April. I’ve been watching New York cruises ever since they announced Magic was going there.
I was able to get this cruise for less than half of what I normally see it priced at. I haven’t been on a five-day…

Saint Greg’s Summer Movie Rankings

on
September 4, 2022

Since I watched all of these movies on the big screen this summer, let’s do this for a change of pace while I’m traveling back from New York. If a movie isn’t listed, I didn’t see it. Regrettably Paws of Fury is one I missed. If you haven’t seen…

Alaskan Splendor: Trip Summary and COVID-19

on
August 29, 2022

I enjoyed cruising out of Seattle. There is a lot to do there pre-cruise. In two days I didn’t get everything I wanted to do done. That was with a boundary I set for myself between the stadiums and the Space Needle. I can expand that and come up…

Alaskan Splendor: Debarkation

on
August 26, 2022

Good morning from Seattle! I slept really good last night. This room has been super quiet all week. There has been no screaming, banging, or door slamming. No ship noises. Nothing. If I got warm I would adjust where my head is at the foot of the bed. That…

Here is today’s schedule of events.

I was excited about the Victoria stop because…

Good morning! We are pulling into Ketchikan at just after 7am. I am watching our arrival from the “secret deck” by my room.
After this I’ll go get coffee and eat breakfast before heading off of the ship. I have the Lighthouse, Totems, and Eagles excursion booked for today.

Here is…

Ketchikan: Lighthouse, Totems, & Eagles

on
August 16, 2022

At the time I booked my Lighthouse, Totems, & Eagles excursion, I already had Whales and Bears planned in Icy Strait Point and glaciers in Tracy Arm Fjord and Juneau. I know totems are a big deal in this area and I wanted to book something with a guarantee…

Alaskan Splendor: Juneau

on
August 12, 2022

Good morning from the capitol of Alaska, Juneau! Whale watching is a very popular excursion here. I did my Whale Watching in Icy Strait Point specifically so I could free today up for Mendenhall Glacier. I’m doing Mendenhall at my own pace so I will be able to have…

Mendenhall Glacier

on
August 8, 2022

I decided to do Mendenhall Glacier on my own. Most of the glacier excursions I read about had people complaining that they didn’t have enough time in the Glacier Center or they didn’t have enough time to walk down to the waterfall. I even read about some who got…
