We got up very, very early this morning in order to get breakfast before our tour (yesterdays buffet was a mob scene before our tour). It worked very well but we are exhausted. We are just back from our tour of Lindos on the island of Rhodes in Greece. It was about an hour’s bus [...]

Just in case our connection kicks out again we are fine and having a great time. I have been typing posts in word but haven’t had a chance to uploade anything since Sunday afternoon. I will be adding them with the date and time that they were written. E

We arrived in Kusadasi Turkey this morning at around 7am. We did not even notice that we had stopped moving. After a quick breakfast we headed out on our “Towns and Villages” tour. This was the alternative to the Ephesus archaeological site tour; we figured we would be seeing plenty of ruins over the course [...]

Other People SuckThat’s right, they suck. We went down for our, now habitual, evening soak in the hot tub and there were other people in them. Both of them. (The outside ones were too cold). We were forced to go to bed without having been dipped into warm water and we slept great anyway. But [...]

Well, at least the other people we had dinner with tonight.
What a difference a day (and a shower and some clean clothes and a good night’s sleep) can make. We had a fabulous day and no one tried to make it any different. We went in the hot tub, we blogged, we had lunch, and [...]

Finally a new day! That last one was very long. This one should be very relaxed. We just got done walking a mile on the track upstairs and eating our breakfast.
I intend to take pictures off of our balcony every so often and naming them with the date and time. Right now we are going [...]

Well, try as they might (and they are trying) Royal Caribbean can’t force us to have a bad time on this cruise. We did not get our luggage until 5 minutes before dinner, our shower head was broken, and then our table reservations were screwed up for dinner. We ended up at a two-top table [...]
