European Honeymoon, 2012 – Day #8, Salzburg, AU
Tuesday, June 19, 2012 – For the first time on our trip, the weather was actually beautiful – we had a great sleep with the A/C on in our little pet-friendly boutique hotel. Our number one mission once we woke up was to find me some sunscreen, that I had forgotten to pack before we [...]
European Honeymoon, 2012 – Day #5, Amsterdam, NL
Saturday, June 16, 2012 – Because of the EuRail pass and only being an hour outside of Amsterdam, Julia & I were in no rush to check-out and get to the train station. Regardless, we were out of the hotel room by 11am and made the 15-minute walk from the hotel to the train station. [...]

Cruise – Day 8, At Sea
Since we didn’t need to be up for an excursion today and we were spending the day at sea with nothing we ‘needed’ to do, we slept in until noon. When we finally woke up, I read for a bit while Julia was sleeping off & on. We ended up leaving the room around 1:30pm, [...]

This morning we woke up at 8:30am, docked in Bridgetown, and went for breakfast at Reflections for a change, and had the a la carte breakfast. It was the first time we were up early enough with ample time to have breakfast in the main dining area. When we ordered our food, we let the [...]
Cruise – Day 6, Roseau, Dominica
When we woke up today, the sky was rather dark, with heavy clouds setting in and some light rain. We got up and had breakfast at the Windjammer again and were off the ship at 10am for our beach & rain forest excursion. While leaving the gangway, it was pretty wet and dreary. Definitely the [...]
