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…

Walking the Railroad Trail to Hoover Dam is a walk we’ve done many times. It’s an easy hike, except for the last mile where the trail drops a couple of hundred feet to the dam. The round trip is eight miles in total. Today, I took James along, and he did quite well, especially for someone who doesn’t usually get much exercise.

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.
I fully intended to take my son on a cruise this year. What I didn’t expect was to be heading out so soon. As it turns out, we selected an eleven-day cruise on the Eurodam for the beginning of March. I’m still working on the details. Stay tuned..

Last day on the ship packing up and getting ready for the long flight home. This will be my last entry for the trip. I may add more pictures to the previous posts when I have time….
Didn’t leave the ship in this port but took a few pictures of the Andes Mountains.


Today as we head north we visited Brujo Glacier. The pictures don’t fully capture how great this glacier is. I have been on numerous Alaskan cruises and have never seen anything like this.
