My First Trip to Reykjavik
Last night at midnight it was still light outside our cabin. And when I woke at 4 am, the sun was coming up. I ventured out on my balcony as we made port. So far so good! We decided to do a hop-on hop-off bus which would take us around the city. From where weContinue reading “My First Trip to Reykjavik”

Of course, our first stop was a little cafe at the port of Cobh. Scones and cappuccino. Yummy! TheContinue reading “To Cork We Go”
Being Ignored
What bothers you and why? Have you ever been in a restaurant waiting to be served, realizing the four tables who came after you already have menus and water? That drives me to distraction. It triggers my anger. It makes me want to scream. Sometimes I get a little snarky and sometimes I just walkContinue reading “Being Ignored”
Oops we got sidetracked in Cornwall!
Yesterday was a down day for us. I don’t mean emotionally, just physically. We slept in, ate lunch, took naps, and had coffee with friends. It was nice being on the Caribbean Princess while people were on shore. We ate dinner at a table of 10 and then went to the show. The group wasContinue reading “Oops we got sidetracked in Cornwall!”
