With the stress of lost luggage behind us… and a good night sleep by the airport, we checked into our Barcelona hotel. My parameters included “an outdoor space”. With a stunning view of the Cathedral de Barcelona, this was the most enjoyable visit to Barcelona I can remember.

Years ago, we experienced our first “Travel Nightmare”. I posted about it… after another couple of years, another event happened. When you travel a lot, I suppose it is to be expected. This trip, Barry’s first in over a year was supposed to be full of surprises and smooth… instead, click on the photo to see how the latest edition plays out!

First view… from the balcony: Good Morning Belize City! Another day, another port another on our own. With no excursion planned, we decided to just head down to the water for a little swim. Then back to the ship. Nothing too exciting, but very beautiful. Weather perfect!

Such a great day! Though we didn’t book an excursion, we arranged to meet up with my friend Marco’s “go to guy”… Steven Hamilton. With Hurricane Sara entering the scene, we had challenging weather, but we made the best of it. We had a special day!

Here she is… Regal Princess. Booked to celebrate Roxanne’s birthday, we never got to board her. Another episode of “Travel Nightmares”, which seem to be increasingly commonplace lately! Click the photo to read about the hoops we jumped through to cruise for the birthday week!

With the heat affecting me, I missed the port of Mazatlán. Instead, it was a restful sea day for me. Roxanne was a trooper and hung out with me. Lori and Jess went ziplining. Laural walked through town. Now check out Cabo San Lucas and at the end… the latest version of “Travel Nightmares”!

Nonstop shenanigans… that’s the only way to describe what has gone on! Three sea days were full of great food, cocktails, poker machines, shows, trivia and most of all… laughter! Such an awesome group!
