Speaking of Ships
The S.O. and I made our first cruise ever on the Splendor of the Seas last year. It was her last year sailing for Royal Caribbean, as it had been announced she was being sold to TUI Cruises. We thought the crew did a good job seeing the ship out in style and we loved… Continue reading Speaking of Ships
The call of the sea….
Because saving money in the wake of the Brexit disaster is for pussies, right? Actually, I paid for this 6 months ago, long before I knew that 37.5% of the British people were going to fuck over the world. And since they did, I thought I would go to the home of government-provided services and… Continue reading The call of the sea….
Sea Credit
For the record, my sea duty counter when I retired stood @ 5 years, 7 months and 21 days. Since I was in aviation, that time was all embarked on US Navy vessels and most of it was underway.

So much for brand loyalty.
United Airlines this year-decided to say a cheery “fuck you” to its loyal passengers closing in on Million Mile status ( and thus lifetime Gold Membership) like me. They decided to f*ck me at the drive through: LAST week, United Airlines announced a modification to its frequent-flyer programme, MileagePlus, that could change business travel as… Continue reading So much for brand loyalty.
Busy Week!
Still here-just it has been a busy week. out of the hotel at 7:15 and home at 8PM. By the time one eats dinner and gets to bed, there is not time for anything else. Day off today though-then back to the grind tomorrow. (In Israel, Sunday is a work day). Some Jerusalem pix to… Continue reading Busy Week!
More Berlin Pix
It is Saturday and doing errands today for the S.O. while she is out shopping for pottery. ( Like she really needs any more of it!). So a stop at the library seemed in order. The great internet drought may be ending next week, Vodafone is supposed to install a line next week. Just in… Continue reading More Berlin Pix
