another view of our route |
familiarity.
One benefit of let lag (if it’s
even jet lag) for me is that I sleep later than at home. Last night I was in
bed by midnight and didn’t get up until after 9:30!! This would be unhear of at
home…I think this is a sign to be on vacation MORE! itinerary
Another basic hotel breakfast and
we were on our way to the ship. We are one of 4 boats at the Port of Barcelona
today. The 4 boats have about 14,000 passengers in total…compared to the
others, we are tinsy-tiny at a mere 650.
Before we board, we have a plan
of attack...board, another champagne, pool deck, park, laundry, Aperol Spritz. Laundry
is included with our cruise fare, but having been in Barcelona on our own for a
couple of days means a load into the self-serve machines is in order. Then to
our room, wait for delivery of the big suitcases, unpack and chill.made it!!!
For sail-away, we head to the upper
deck for a cocktail, nibbles, the band, and the view. This cruise is different
from our last couple. Not surprisingly, a Mediterranean summer cruise is full
of younger people and families with kids. This is totally fine, just very different.
I think there was one kid on our cruise last summer and can’t remember one on
the retirement cruise.
