2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 4, Tunis, Tunisia

Posted on
Tuesday, May 18 – Tunis, Tunisia I still had a hard time getting to sleep – I think it’s still jet lag. No matter what time I get up and what time I go to bed, my body still thinks that midnight is still just late afternoon, and much too early for sleeping. It’s getting … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 4, Tunis, Tunisia"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 3, Valletta, Malta

Posted on
Monday, May 17, Valletta, Malta Finally a good night’s sleep – no banging on the hull or body clock issues other than not getting to bed until midnight because of yet another late dinner (a bit after 10:30 last night). It’s a good thing I set the alarm for 7:30, because I was asleep – … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 3, Valletta, Malta"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 2, At Sea

Posted on
Sunday, May 16 – Day At Sea We both did not sleep well again. Part of the reason is because at about 2:30 a.m. we started hearing this loud, booming noise, which sounded like something big and heavy was crashing into the hull of the ship. It was intermittent – sometimes we’d get three in … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Day 2, At Sea"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Barcelona Days 1 and 2

Posted on
(Sorry for the delay in posting this — we didn’t have free internet access at our hotel, and I was too cheap to pay 12 Euros for it. But now we’re on the ship — internet isn’t free here, either, but we’d already planned to pay for it.) We made it to Barcelona! We were … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Barcelona Days 1 and 2"

2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Our Bags are Packed and We’re Ready to Go…

Posted on
…but whether or not we are leaving on a jet plane remains to be seen. Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano with the name that looks like a random collection of Scrabble tiles, has been disrupting air travel in Europe again this week – this time in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The Atlanta->Barcelona flight that we will … Continue reading "2010 Mediterranean Cruise – Our Bags are Packed and We’re Ready to Go…"

Disembarkation and Barcelona Part 2 — Disney Magic 14-night Trans-Atlantic Cruise – Day 14

Posted on
Disembarkation. This is always the worst (and saddest) day of a cruise. We typically are up late the night before trying to squeeze every last joyful moment from our trip. No exception this time around. The tough part is getting us up and out to breakfast by 8:15am and off the ship by 9am. Our … Continue reading "Disembarkation and Barcelona Part 2 — Disney Magic 14-night Trans-Atlantic Cruise – Day 14"

Last Day at Sea — Disney Magic 14-night Trans-Atlantic Cruise – Day 13

Posted on
Our last sea day. The weather was overcast and rainy. I started to organize things for the trip home. We can hardly believe that it’s almost that time. In the afternoon, we finally made time to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. Michael got to the theater early and was given a quick behind-the-scenes tour … Continue reading "Last Day at Sea — Disney Magic 14-night Trans-Atlantic Cruise – Day 13"
