The term that I’ve chosen for this week is COLD! I cannot wait to get back to the warmth and sun. With that said, it has been very beautiful landscapes and lots of wildlife sightings! But if you are looking for me before Charleston, I’m probably buried in blankets, sitting on my balcony, watching the whales and dramatic cliffs as we float on by.

One hour back, two hours forward. In case you ever wonder why I post at weird hours or nap almost every day, it’s because time is truly a figment of someone’s imagination on this ship.

Seemed like a short week, but mostly because we had two overnights in two different ports. It's still a bit odd to me to go to sleep and wake up in the same place after 100+ days on this trip.
