Top of the Rock

on
September 23, 2022

Good morning. I have the Mets game this afternoon, but this morning I’m going to try out Liberty Bagels and go to Top of the Rock, an observatory at the top of Rockefeller Center.

It’s crazy all of the bagel and cream cheese options these places have.

This is a French toast…

Phantom of the Opera

on
September 19, 2022

One of the nice things about my hotel location is the proximity to the theater district. I took advantage of that by booking shows each night. The first one is Phantom of the Opera on my first night.
You can see where I am at in the upper right hand…

Central Park

Central Park is an 843 acre park in Manhattan. The original park covered 778 acres and opened in 1859. The northern section opened in 1876. I was not able to cover the north section during my trip.

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.

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…

Alaskan Splendor: Ketchikan

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…
