On Day 10, we enjoyed another relaxing day at sea. We have a few more excursions ahead before we head home on Wednesday. While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this vacation, I’m starting to feel ready to return home. I miss the kids and our pets, and I find myself longing for my usual routine. I’ve definitely…
Day 9 – Blarney Castle
On Day 9, we found ourselves in Cobh, Ireland, where we explored Cork and the enchanting Blarney Castle. Nestled in Blarney Village, approximately 8 km (about 5 miles) from Cork, this small castle is complemented by a stunning garden. The ascent to the top is narrow and winding, but the experience culminates in the chance…
Day 8 – At sea
Day 8 is a sea day. Today it’s Kel’s 50th birthday. Tomorrow, we will arrive in Cork, Ireland, where we plan to visit Blarney Castle. I woke up around 7:30 a.m. and met my friends for breakfast at 9:00 a.m. I enjoyed pancakes and scrambled eggs. After breakfast, Tommy and I headed to the theater…
Day 7 – Giant’s Causeway and Titanic
On Day 7, we began our journey in Belfast, boarding our tour bus around 9 AM after enjoying breakfast. Our first destination was Dunluce Castle. Although we couldn’t get too close, we managed to capture a few photos of the stunning ruins. Dunluce Castle, located in Northern Ireland, served as the filming location for Pyke…
Day 5 and 6: Stirling Castle and Liverpool
We arrived at our room a bit early this evening, feeling quite tired from all the walking we did today. Our destination was Liverpool, which I will elaborate on later. Yesterday, we visited Greenock, Falkirk, and Stirling in Scotland. Day 5 began with breakfast, and if I recall correctly, I had scrambled eggs and toast….
Day 4 – At sea
Day 4 is a day at sea. We were originally scheduled to stop in Invergordon, but Storm Floris has prevented us from doing so. Currently, we are navigating through the storm, contending with high winds and rough seas, which are causing the ship to list to the port side. As a result, walking around has…
Day 1 – 3 on Regal Princess
Day 1 aboard the Regal Princess marked our embarkation day. We enjoyed lunch on the ship, where I had street tacos paired with loaded fries. After participating in the muster drill, we discovered that our room was ready, so we headed up to unpack and relax for a bit before dinner. For the evening meal,…
London and Paris
I’m currently aboard the ship and have been documenting my journey over the past few days. I’ll do my best to keep things organized. This morning, we took a bus from our hotel to Heathrow Airport, and then boarded another bus that brought us to the ship. After completing the embarkation process, we enjoyed some…
The World of Harry Potter
Today in London, we visited the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: Harry Potter World. It was a delightful experience, and we spent six hours exploring, although it’s easy to lose track of time and stay even longer. At the start, they inform you that the tour is more extensive than you might expect. This immersive experience…
London calling
I have missed a few days, but I have some time to write now, so I will seize this opportunity. Thursday was quite busy, filled with packing, visiting Kel’s dad, and running a few quick errands. Thursday night, we began our travel, catching a flight to Dallas. It was a brief flight, and from there,…
