Magic bands on, on the bus, off to Saratoga Springs!
Flying into Florida is always fun. Such lovely big white fluffy clouds. Also: torrential downpours just on that one guy’s house. Lovely Florida weather.

To advertise or not to advertise…
What a silly question! Of COURSE advertise!
There is nowhere to sit in Houston that doesn’t have a flashing screen in front of you, and the chair bolted to the floor at a distance from the table designed to be uniformly uncomfortable for everyone.
Fortunately we weren’t there long. Off to Orlando!
There is no row 13…
Aside
I just realized that, and I hate it.
And awwwaaaaay we go!

It is that time again…
No, not 2:30am, although yes, also that.
Welcome to Josh and Bev’s 2018 Orlando adventure! In thy picture you see everything staged by the door ready to roll out, while also attempting to carry poor sleepy Bev.
At least we can take a short taxi to the airport. Brian and Julian have already been driving for almost an hour.
Off to the airport!
Iced Coffee with 6 extra shots of irony…
Aside
Was out and about working today, and it turned out to be a bad day for it as I got kicked out of literally every Starbucks for the afternoon.
The irony of being asked to leave so they can have training about how not to ask people to leave amused me so much that it was worth it though.
The Cascade Station area has a distinct lack of coffee shops or places to hang out besides Starbucks.
The weary travellers almost home…
Almost to Vancouver, and then home!
It’s been quite a journey. Everyone seems both happy and relaxed, and tired. Much sleeping-in to be done tomorrow I suspect.
Thanks for following along! Next vacation is scheduled for sometime between May and August 2018, so until then we return you to your irregularly scheduled blogging.
Vital statistics
The map from the TV in our room:
You can see in this one where the ship turned for a short time while the helicopter was operating above the bow.
And in this one you can see that we did go up the straight towards the open ocean, but turned around at about 11:30 to head back towards Seattle. You can also see that we traveled 1772 nautical miles in total this week.
Seems dark outside…
Virtual balcony indicates it is indeed quite dark…
Although that’s not actually true! Here’s the real view from outside!
Couple of shots from the top deck of the ship.
Off to our last breakfast!
Sailing away for the last time…
And awwwaaaaay we go!
That other ship left Seattle 20 minutes after we did, then went to Alaska, and now we meet again in Victoria…
It’s fun watching the sea planes in the harbor. I’ll travel that way one of these days.
The pilots were off the boat in no time flat. Much easier than the poor guy in SF. The guy driving the pilot boat was having fun getting squirrely and going in circles for… Fun?
Back in the promenade, stuffed animal demo:
