Dude! meara! The person who invited me to the ecstatic dance house party just finished the Camino de Santiago. That's so funny.
Honestly, in these Covid times, I'm not sure I'll be checking out the ecstatic dance house party, but I do love saying it.
Hah, I wonder if they know my friend Chad? It’s a weird small world sometimes!
It is POURING rain here right now, where usually it just sprinkles. I do not want to take the dog out. But if I don’t take him for a walk, he won’t go, and will instead wake up in the middle of the night and make me let him out. Decisions.
I thought about doing one of those barge trips for my 50th, but it is indeed expensive (I mean it's my birthday, so I would indulge), but its also limited capacity, and I want as many people as possible celebrating my existence.
I find cruises are especially nice when you are going with a group of friends since there's lot of ways you can get together, but also do things that suit each individual.
The bestest part of cruising with ND for me is the shared appreciation and amusement derived from bad theater. Good times. With cruise lines mandating vaccination, I am ready to do it again, even if I am living on a boat!
Now I want to go to an ecstatic dance party, hike the Camino de Santiago, and go on a cruise.
At my age, I am still adding to my bucket list more than crossing off, but that's okay.
I saw an article a while ago about how people are running boat tours to empty cruise ships that are anchored offshore. I don't think they went on the ships, just kind of motored around and then back to shore. Years ago, a cruise company would offer three-day "trip to nowhere" cruises out of New York. If I remember correctly, on the SS Maxim Gorky.
I've never been on a cruise myself, but I have a friend who went on several and enjoyed them. The last one I remember, she went with her mother and the cruise included cooking classes with high-level chefs. And they went through the Panama Canal.
We have a number of cruise to nowhere options in S Florida. They are mostly for the gamblers. They go out beyond the legal line then open up the machines and tables. I went on a couple with friends, but since gambling isn't my thing it was kind of ucky.
As many people as possible celebrating Vortex = right
