I’m checking out of my room. I stripped the beds for the steward. Hopefully that helps a…

on
April 26, 2019

Good Morning. I just got myself a white chocolate mocha at the coffee shop and went to the ocean plaza seeking debarkarkion luggage tags like they had on Dream. I don’t see the setup. I guess I need to read the debarkation paperwork a little closer.

Looking at the debarkation…

I got a good 7 hours of sleep after the kid next door quieted down. I woke up once at 7am. I think it was ship movement again. At 8:30 I knew I was pretty much up for good but decided…

Lunch

Before heading to the Space Center I’m going to grab some lunch at a Mexican restaurant that’s just around the corner from the hotel, Lupe Tortilla.

I lived close to the Mexican border for a few years. This is the beer we drank back then. And if…
