Random Trip Notes: waiting to fly home, dreaming of another cruise. We have a week long one in the fall scheduled. There were things I would have liked to have.
Anyway…
This was my first cruise and it pegged the fun meter.
Now I know what to expect.
NO MORE BACKPACK! I’m done with that. I am on vacation. This does not have to be uncomfortable. It’s fun going minimalist yet I want to be comfortable. The room is my den, a place of relaxation. I need a few things I can’t do at home. Just a little bit of fun. Up the style game, the clothes, the decor.
Cola is not important, so no soda or beverage packages. I didn’t even finish the bottle of wine I brought. I paid for about one drink per day so probably not important to purchase any drink package at all.
I felt like I needed more cabin loungewear. I imagine a beautiful smoking jacket, leather slippers and maybe some silk pajamas. I need to find a lightweight Sports Jacket for formal attire, dining and travel. I’m going to think about it, lounge wear for about the ship at night.
Get M some silk pajamas!
I brought the Nikon L35 AF and it was fun but too much tourista. I’m a photographer, I know better. I think a couple of lenses and my DSLR, a nice zoom and a super wide or the fisheye. I don’t know, that’s one to think about but I do know my camera is going with me. If I bring the F6, film is not a big deal. You carry it on your person and check it around the x-ray machines. No big deal, no film in camera during travel to and from.
Having compatible traveling companions is a lot of fun. Just M and I would be a way different type of trip.
The monk sling bag was easy for a bunch of small carry on or off ship stuff. You can stuff it away going home.
I didn’t have a corkscrew so that was a hassle, get a good cheap corkscrew, I used my folding cup and that was nice.
The binoculars were used, worthy of bringing. The string lights and pirate flag were perfect. I think a nice fold up Basquiat and a Klimt and the room art game is almost won.
