Cruises

Today, we arrived in Malaga, Spain. It was a place I had never been to and was not what I expected.

I spent today onboard the ship, resting and trying to catch up on my sleep.

On day 2 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, I arrived in Marseille early in the morning aboard my cruise ship, the Costa Toscana. I had initially booked a short trip around Marseille, but Costa Cruises cancelled the trip so I took myself ashore to look around.

Today, I went on a catamaran to Molokini Crater to go snorkelling, hoping to see lots of fish and some turtles.

I woke early today and had eaten breakfast by 6:30 am. I was excited about my trip to Pompeii today.

Today, we left Hawaii and began sailing the Pacific Ocean towards Alaska. It was the first day of 5 that we spent at sea.

Today I woke up in the port of Oristan in Sardinia, Italy.

Today I woke up in the port of Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

I woke early & had some breakfast in one of the breakfast buffets onboard the ship before disembarking & meeting the guide for my guided tour of Palma today.

On day 3 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, the ship docked early morning at the Port of Savona. I had initially booked a half-day tour around Genoa, but Costa Cruises cancelled the day trip, and I spent the day onboard the ship instead.

In 2011, my Mum was told she couldn't fly due to an ulcer on her leg. As she wanted to go away and see my apartment in Cape Canaveral, Florida, I booked two return trips on the Queen Mary 2 to New York.

Today was our second day at Copacabana Beach, and Gail and I visited the Botanical Gardens in Rio de Janeiro.

Today we arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil & left the Costa Favolosa to make our way to Copacabana Beach for our stay there.
