Well now sitting at the gate for the long flight home. Had some unsatisfying airport food and a beer. Ready for home
Well after twelve days on a cruise I am sitting in baggage claim in Ft Lauderdale. Can’t drop off luggage until 4 hours before fight. The air-conditioning is freezing cold. One hour to go. Hopefully temp is better by the gate. Ready to be home
Today was our last port before heading back to Ft Lauderdale. Took a chairlift to the top of a Mountain. Great view of island.
This was quite the shopping port. Enjoyed everything. Bought a local a drink. I think it was his full time job. Turned around and another man put a monkey on James. He was of course hustling pictures. Guess did my part to support the locals today😁😁🐒
I think 75 feet up on a bridge that looks like it was a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark is not for me. James got a kick out of it anyway
It would have been a bit more fun if the line would have kept moving. It was slow going. I don’t think I would do it again
Getting on a bus in the next port. with a few moments of internet I hope this gets through
It’s a trap… A tourist trap…😁 Bought a shirt and they charged me more than marked. We are going to wander around a bit more.
It’s overcast but warm today. Just hanging out at the beach . More later
Due to the ship cleaning effort it was a bit crowded getting on board. Fortunately because I am 4 star aka frequent spender we got pulled into the expedite line. In any case we made it
Made it. Spirit wasn’t that bad. Still not my first choice in Airlines. Hotel shuttle never materialized but it was a short taxi ride to the not so great side of town(I know how to pick them). Hotel is actually pretty good. Kind of like a Best Western. Was able to get late checkout and shuttle to the cruise port. Overall satisfied. Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a great vacation…

We are heading to the airport momentarily. Will be enduring a flight on Spirit. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. Got a big price break on the tickets but you know you get what you pay for…
Several reports indicate the cruise ship are about to embark on has a rather large outbreak of Norovirus.
Nearly 90 sick with Norovirus on Holland America cruise that left Florida
I’ve already received a message indicating the boarding process will be delayed while cleaning up after the last group. At this point if there was a way to reschedule this I would.
Guess going to spend time avoiding crowds, wiping down everything and avoid the buffet. Hopefully we can avoid becoming ill.
