“Dress for the sun.” Well, hell, that’s a rather broad spectrum of attire. My kayaking gear (SPF 50 capris and long sleeved shirt), ready to evaporate any manner of splashes whilst I paddled? A breezy summer dress with strappy sandals? Butch shorts and t-shirt with a baseball cap? This simply wasn’t enough information. “It’s not … Continue reading Beloved wouldn’t tell me what we were doing for my birthday.
She got wind of the idea that things were about to change when we removed her cat food from beside the refrigerator and put it in Granny’s flat downstairs. However, someone needed a puppy sitter, so yeh, okay. MaeMae will survive. Cat: No, I freaking WON’T! When will this disaster leave?? Puppy: there’s a disaster … Continue reading Seriously, said the cat. When will this STOP??
A hundred and forty nine smackers each, with a capacity of 20 means about three grand per seating. Not bad, but they certainly spend on the food, staff and visuals (and the booze), so it’s sure not all profit. We checked in, had our photos taken and were offered cocktails before being taken in - … Continue reading Review of “360, An Extraordinary Experience” on Discovery Princess
MaeMae, our witchy cat: Oh, god, it's the drunkard again. Puppy: Hello maybe you're confused my name is Pickles not Pickled I know it's close but I'm too young to drink I'm not five months old yet how old are you Me: Hah! Guess he taught you. Getting acquainted again… The cat glared at me … Continue reading Hooray! Shouted the pupper. I’m back!
I love trying new aircraft. I’m not much of a mechanics fanatic, but I do like seeing the setup of airplane and how they configure seating, etc. When we were looking to fly to London I jumped at the chance to try the A380. After its release in 2007, this 500+ seater didn’t fare well … Continue reading This thing is a beast… a review of the A380.
Okay, it’s not a cage, it’s an X-Pen. And we spent a lot of time in there with him… he stayed with us for a few days and it was just easier to have the twelve-week-old corralled in a fairly enclosed area. Inevitably, he had contact with the rather disgruntled cat. MaeMae was especially bent … Continue reading The kiddo clearly wanted out of the cage.
Me: no you’re not. You’re fine now. Puppy: yes I am see watch She crouched on the lawn, pitifully struggling, whining a bit. Me: you pooped an hour ago, I’m not surprised nothing’s coming out. MaeMae the cat, rolling her eyes: if you’d learn to catch your own food, ding dong, you wouldn’t have to … Continue reading But I’m constipated! Whined the dog.
We arrived in Santa Cruz de Tenerife without plans or reservations for a tour… the only thing that appealed to me was riding around on large motorized trikes but that was only available if we landed at the southern end of the island (we were on the north). We saw nothing that related to the … Continue reading I kept circling back to the world’s worst air disaster…
After having our visit to Màlaga blocked, this came up about Funchal (FOON-Shal), Portugal the night before we docked: Aw, shit. This was taken the night before we arrived. Funchal, for the uninitiated, is a city on the island of Madeira (any drinkers among us? - kidding… but yes, this is THAT Madeira). Off the … Continue reading The storm is stalking us like a bored dog goes after an unguarded steak.
Casablanca, Morocco, has a similar population size to the city of Los Angeles - almost four million people - if you believe the internet, but our tour guide said it was six. Whatever. It’s a very large city. I gotta admit, I was a little intimidated by getting off the ship there, although I’ve always … Continue reading I was more than a little hesitant…
