September 25: At Sea

September 30, 2022September 26, 2022 aka gringita

My TV will not register that I’ve watched the safety video. After three times, I could hold a class on it, and I have suggestions for improvements. I called down before I went to bed because the system won’t let me do anything else until I watch the video. They say they’ll put in an overdrive.

September 24: Transit and Embarkation

September 29, 2022September 25, 2022 aka gringita

I’m up ahead of the alarm. Just as well, I might as well get myself going. And going.

Here we go again

September 28, 2022September 28, 2022 aka gringita

Look, I am just one solo cruise (or two shared-cabin cruises) from permanent Elite status on my most-frequent cruise line.

Length of that cruise: Immaterial.

In the office, and not

September 27, 2022September 23, 2022 aka gringita

The night in the hotel is a mixed blessing. I didn’t have to drive the trek back and forth on successive days. The hotel was kind of a pit. I slept poorly. When I did sleep, I dreamt, and those dreams were not all good.

To the office

September 26, 2022September 21, 2022 aka gringita

First note: I didn’t do the whole drive in one day. There’s a hotel less than a mile from the office – it’s been my backup plan if I ever get stranded up here in weather.

Wiped out

September 25, 2022August 28, 2022 aka gringita

Today’s post is a non-post because I got my second Shingles vax and my body is definitely getting the message and doing something.

More medals arrive

September 24, 2022 aka gringita

Having wrapped up both Petra and Giza Pyramid challenges, I realize I hadn’t shared the medals with y’all.

Travels Revisited: London

September 23, 2022August 28, 2022 aka gringita

It wasn’t so long ago that I was in London. Just a bit over a month ago, actually.

Virtual Egypt: Completed

September 22, 2022September 22, 2022 aka gringita

It took me time to get this done – mostly because I was on a cruise ship at the time and although we were on the go all the time, I was not “get 16.000 steps a day” levels of active most days.

TLR: Georgia

September 21, 2022August 28, 2022 aka gringita

The Longest Route (TLR) stretches on before me. It seemed like I’d never “reach” this virtual border between Turkiye and Georgia, but apparently never is longer than I accounted for.
