I got up as late as I could and got to breakfast with just 15 minutes until closing. Got back to my room and took it easy for another hour before taking an Uber to… Water and ice

Today’s main agenda was a visit to the AT&T Stadium, the home field of the Dallas Cowboys, and a guided tour. It’s actually not in Dallas, but in Arlington. So after breakfast, I walked to… Spaceship

I woke up early, I probably can’t blame the shift in timezone, it’s just one hour. I took a picture through my window in daylight. I went down to the second floor and ate a… My first ever NBA game!

Like almost always, I was ahead of schedule. The Uber was booked for 8:45. At 8:20, I stepped out of the hotel, the check-out process had taken 15 seconds. While waiting, the guy who got his… I thought Texas was supposed to be warm?

When I decided to stay a couple of days in San Juan after the cruise, I started to look at what to do here. One thing that came high on the list of suggestions was… Lets go to the woods!

I took a really slow morning. Today’s plan was to “do” Old San Juan and the forts, maybe followed by a quick jump into the ocean. So before I left the hotel, I asked for… Visiting Spanish forts

I was awakened by the speaker at 7 o’clock to say that you could now disembark. Instead, I took a shower, got dressed, stuffed the last items into my backpack, and headed to Tides Restaurant… Back at San Juan

Today I did a sleep-in. I had the alarm at 9 and woke up just before it, and slept through the whole night. It was well needed. I took it slow and left for breakfast… Last cruise day

After a quick breakfast at Windjammer Market (the buffet), I left the ship at 9. There were four cruise ships docked, so quite many people in circulation. At least one ship had this as its home… Barbados

Today I tried room service to not have to queue in the buffet since I had a time to adhere to, 8 o’clock in the main theatre for the excursion. I had the alarm at… Dominica

After some buffet breakfast, I left the ship at 9:25. On the pier, they offered a shuttle to get to shore, because of the long walk. It was about 200 meters. Doesn’t get much more… St Croix

After waking up by the ship docking at the port (the deck just below and in front of my cabin contains lots of the gear used to moor the ship), I left at 9:20 through… Meeting relatives, on the other side of the Atlantic

Since my scuba diving tour was cancelled, my plan was just to get on shore and explore the large town of Charlotte Amalie, population of about 8,000 according to Wikipedia. But first, I needed breakfast.… New island, still in the USA

The night went alright, even though the AC unit turned on and off all night, and some construction work started at 07. I had the pool just outside my window, and I was on the… Bon voyage

With all the preparations done yesterday and with express checkout, it was really easy to leave the hotel. Click on a link in an email, walk out to the car, use the room key to… Leaving Continental USA
