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

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

This morning, I actually snoozed twice before getting up. Took it quite slow and arrived at the Universal Islands of Adventure first at 9:45. Walked around for a bit, and ended up at The Amazing Adventures… Universal Islands of Adventure

Immediately when I got up, I felt the 22k steps from yesterday. Not my usual amount of movement during a day. And when I wasn’t walking, I was standing, usually in a queue somewhere, just… Triple park day

When I was at Disney World three years ago, the storm Ian closed the park for my third day. On that day, I was supposed to go to Magic Kingdom, and I had done the… Magic Kingdom, finally!
