nematome We were down to the lobby by about 9:15, and checked out. Shortly after that, the cab driver appeared, and he was the same driver who had taken us to the hotel from the port yesterday, which was great. I confirmed with him that he was the one sent for us, and that we were … Read more
We left our room at about 10:00, and Robert pretended like he was crying as we were closing the door to the room saying, “I don’t want to go. I was just getting used to being here.” So cute. We got to the lobby shortly after 10:00, and checked out. The only charge to our … Read more
We woke up at about 9, after 12 hours sleep. Whew. Today is another “free day,” so we took our time showering, and then made our way down to breakfast. Today, in addition to the regular buffet, they had a woman cooking custom-made omelets. I started to pick out the ingredients to cook in mine, … Read more

We were definitely dragging ass this morning. Steve, Hector, and Mark were down at breakfast already when we arrived, and after we’d eaten some, Adam came down … Read more
The phone alarm rang at 7:00, way too early. I pushed the number one on the phone to snooze, and it called back at 7:10. I hung it up again, and dozed on and off until about 7:45. I got up, and just washed my face and wet and gelled my hair. Thank god for … Read more
