Now that the protocols for getting into Barbados and onto the ship have been released the reality of what all needs done is setting in. It's not that there's a lot, but everything needs to be done in a fairly short timeframe, during finals week, and

For the last several years I've been taking a solo trip for Christmas, the last one being a back to back trip on the NCL Breakaway out of Port Canaveral. Absolutely one of those trips that I thoroughly enjoyed in the moment but as the year went on

I should probably finish this before I head back in less than two weeks.... Ok, so it's taken awhile to get to the end of the trip but it's been a busy month since I moved :) This part won't be very long though, after

One of the things I've regretted since COVID hit was that I'd never put any focus on documenting my trips. I have all these memories, people I've met, places I've gone, things I've done and seen, but when trying to
