      Delays

      By admin On October 29, 2012 · Add Comment
      Delays happen all the time – but for once I’m not talking about First Capital Connect. It’s been a while since I posted my travel log here, and for my followers I’m sorry that the story is not yet complete. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view), as soon as I got back to the [...]

      Man overboard

      By admin On September 20, 2012 · 1 Comment
      I understand that I am yet to write about tree last couple of day’s activities. I was planning to post that this morning, but other events got in the way. I would not be able to upload until Venice anyway. However, events have taken a dramatic turn. At 4.15 am we were woken by an [...]

      Sunday morning brought us to Livorno, on the western coast of Italy, in the great of Tuscany. It also marked what would be or first excursion of this trip. We had visited Florence and Pisa before, but did not have time to go up the Leaning Tower off Pisa. We decided this time that we [...]

      Cannes

      By admin On September 15, 2012 · Add Comment
      We woke up today in Cannes, with the sun streaming through our window. Originally, I was going to be the only one getting off in Cannes (I don’t see the point in going somewhere and not actually going to see it). However, with the sea last night bring rough, a trip to a pharmacist was [...]

      Not quite a Great Escape

      By admin On September 14, 2012 · Add Comment
      We left the house at 2.30, heading up to Gatwick for a 6.40am flight. Everything went quite smoothly, although McDonald’s breakfasts leave a lot to be desired (shame nor much is open at 4am). On arriving at Barcelona airport we made our way onto the coach for the transfer to the port. We got about [...]

      Packing

      By admin On September 13, 2012 · Add Comment
      The time has come. The long-awaited summer holiday onboard the Serenade of the Seas begins tomorrow. I’ve spent the last couple of days packing and re-packing, as I chop and change outfits for the evening. Still, four cases and two carry-on suitcases later it is all done.

      Staying connected while travelling

      By admin On September 1, 2012 · 1 Comment
      Staying connected with the world back home is always difficult, not to mention expensive. In the UK, I get my 3G data from T-Mobile on pay-as-you-go. A six month web booster is just £20, and because it’s T-Mobile even once you go over your 1GB monthly limit, your usage is merely throttled, rather than stopped/charged. [...]

      Holiday Planning: Mondays in Italy

      By admin On August 20, 2012 · Add Comment
      It is now just three and a half weeks until we leave. It’s reached the point where we need to start knowing what we are going to be doing at certain points. We previously looked at going to Rome when we dock in Civitavecchia. However, most of my family do not [...]

      Planning: Serenade of the Seas

      Serenade of the Seas
      The Serenade of the Seas is one of the Radiance-class cruise liners operated by Royal Caribbean International. The 90,090 tonne ship has been inservice since 2003, but is dwarfed in comparison to RCI’s new ships, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas. Capable of carrying 2,490 passengers and 891 crew, the ship is [...]

      Summer 2012

      By admin On July 24, 2012 · Add Comment
      I want to give this blog a bit more structure, so from tomorrow I am going to deal with one aspect of my holiday at a time. I don’t want to call it a schedule, it’s more of a timeline, but here’s what’s coming up: Serenade of the Seas Barcelona, Spain Cannes, France Livorno, Italy [...]
