Feeling ready for sea air again and only a month to go. And moving out of Orlando sure is making me crave a Mickey waffle.

Miss us?

A cross country move, multiple 20 hour drives, and a few weeks of medieval camping meant a social media break was…well, needed.

We’re settling in to life in the Midwest (even if we’re still mourning having Epcot in the backyard) and we’ve got plans to ramp our travel back up next month. Before the year ends, we’ve got a Disney Cruise, Azamara voyage in the Med, and an Avalon River Cruise in Germany. But it’s good to be busy and content will be ramping back up as we go.

No Creator Voyage, just a tiny snapshot of the world cruises have taken us to see in the last three years. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!

My kingdom for a dose of whimsy these days, and Brilliant Lady’s Up With A Twist has it in spades. That, or the six cocktails got to my head. But I’m pretty sure it’s the former.

Alaska sights by day and entertainment and good food by night? I’m jealous of all you summer sailors…

Scenes from ATVing in the Mexican desert. Pretty sure I’m still removing the dirt from my teeth and nostrils but oh my god what a view.

Thinking we should start doing some port highlights, maybe inspire y’all to get off the beaten path even in the most popular ports…thoughts?

One thing about me is if I’m not feeling my port plans, I’m always gonna make the last minute change instead of dragging myself out. And when the long drive to Antigua looked like it was going to be full of traffic and i plan to head there for multiple days in the future anyways…I pivot. 20 minutes on a local tuk-tuk dropped us right at a resort with a black sand beach, open bar, shaded pools, and probably a whole lot more we never saw.

I’m rarely a beach and resort club human but when you’re feeling it, you do it.

Guatemala is one of my favorite travel spots on earth and a gem on the Panama Canal sailings. So stop in for a day on your crossing and then head back to spend a week enjoying Lake Atitlan and Antigua, trust me.

Brilliant Lady sure was electrifying!

Okay, okay, okay, I’m sorry. But we did have a blast at Electric, one of the new parties onboard. Neon lights, a full Manor, dancing, and appearances by - what’s not to be obsessed with?

Brilliant Lady update: Guatemala Edition

Guatemala remains one of my favorite countries. Skipped the multi-hour drive from port to Antigua (in favor of planning a multi-day visit sometime soon) and took a tuk-tuk one town over from the industrial port to a beach club. Ate, drank, swam, enjoyed the black sand beach, and made a tiny lizard friend before heading back onto the ship for a long nap.
