We woke up losing an hours sleep because we are back in France. We’ve been to Cherbourg in the past and went to the Normandy beaches and the museums related to WWII. So today we decided to just walk around the town of Cherbourg. At the port terminal we bought shuttle passes for 4 EurosContinue reading “Cherbourg – Back in France For the Day”

Finally we can unpack for 14 days. Cruising is as restful as you want to make it or as lively. Right now I need a little restful. I’m starting to feel my age. Everything has been wonderful. We loved Paris. Our hotels were great and everyone we met was friendly. Now it’s time for someContinue reading “All Aboard and Ready to Sail”

Our stay in London was a one nighter and we had made plans to have a private driver take us to Southampton for an overnight before we board our ship back to the US. It’s about a two hour drive from London so we sat back and relaxed. We did drive by Baker Street. NextContinue reading “A Day in Southampton”

Bruce really likes trains so I decided to book the train through the Chunnel from France to England. We woke around 8am. It’s hard to get used to the sunrise so late. It still felt like the wee hours of the morning. I had my usual breakfast of granola and yogurt. I had time forContinue reading “Riding the Eurostar to London”

So Wednesday was our day to visit. I scheduled our time for 9am when the doors open. We woke at 7 andContinue reading “Today Was Mona Lisa Day”

I know I’m not supposed to be overindulging while on vacation, but it’s hard not to in Paris. We ate a fairly sensible breakfast at the hotel. Eggs, bacon, sausage, croissant, breads, granola and yogurt. I was pretty full after eating all that and figured I could go until late afternoon before I ate again.Continue reading “Eating Our Way Around Paris”

All packed and ready to start our 20 day adventure across the pond. We began with a Lyft ride to Miami airport. Our driver was a nice young man who was fascinated by travel and hopes to do a bit himself. I use Lyft because my card gives me 5X points per dollar spent andContinue reading “Off On Another Adventure – First Stop Paris”

We woke early enough to have the hotel’s buffet breakfast and to find out how to get to the air strip for our flight to the Arctic Circle. Breakfast was the usual, waffles, sausage, biscuits and gravy, but canned peaches and no other fruit. Coffee was good though. I do like my coffee. The hotelContinue reading “Our Trip To The Arctic Circle”

Our journey continued on the Alaskan Railway from Denali to Fairbanks. We left at 4pm, literally being the last guests in the hotel, employees working diligently around us to clean up for the closure during the winter months. One last view from our beautiful hotel and then on to the rail depot. After getting ourContinue reading “On To Fairbanks”
