January 16,2025 We fell asleep yesterday around 5:00 pm, fully expecting to awaken between 8:00 and 9:00 and head to dinner at one of the restaurants here at Capella. Well we never woke…at midnight I checked the time and rolled right back to sleep until 3:30 ish, when we both briefly awakened. Timmy pulled his...

January 13, 2025 Our driver fetched us at 5:30 pm and we made remarkably good time during rush hour to JFK. Check in at Singapore Air was a breeze…it took us longer to walk from the counter to Clear/TSA Pre-Check Security line. And that was also easy peasy…having both Clear and Pre-check is worth every...

It might take a few posts… We returned from Iceland and almost immediately, I became consumed with two concurrent and completely unrelated medical/health issues.

August 22,2024 Reykjavik, Iceland It was raining when we woke, I made us cappuccinos and we worked our puzzles. After a while I headed to the gym…the treadmill was fantastic. Although it didn’t have Mahjong, I throughly enjoyed the simulated “hikes”. We set out across the open tundra for a visit to Harpa. When we...

August 21,2024 Reykjavik, Iceland On our last morning on board Symphony, we woke to a steady rain, had coffee, said goodbye to Fernando, who insisted on walking us off the ship and proceeded to a tent to collect our luggage. There is no terminal in Copenhagen at the “old port” where we were docked, so...

August 20,2024. Copenhagen, Denmark Yay! Sunny skies in Copenhagen …remember last segment? Pouring rain… Starboard side view… After coffee and muffins, we hopped the shuttle and set off in search of a canal boat tour. Didn’t take long to find a canal …or a boat tour… That’s the “Little Mermaid”…she sure is tiny…especially from...
