The one where I became a "boat blogger" lol (sisters at sea revisited)

Since I last posted in my journal, Helen and I ended up back on board the Arvia ship for a week in the Caribbean. It was pretty much a "re run" of the holiday from last year in terms of the trip although this time we did visit different ports of call. We visited a few beaches, wandered the port areas and enjoyed the facilities the ship had to offer

Wooh, that sounds like you had a top time. It's great your boat posts gained some traction as well. It's disheartening to write so much and have nobody interact with it.

You're probably familiar with Emma Cruises, one of my favourite YouTube persons. While I've never been on a cruise, aside from ferry trips, I live them vicariously through her updates. That said, I recently watched Michael Palin's 1989 series Around the World in 80 Days, in which he hitches a ride on a couple of cargo ships.

I've since discovered that passengers can still book a cabin on certain freighters, which I'd like to do one day. Taking into account that the trip is both the destination and the hotel, the cost works out around the same as most package holidays, except with the gift of time to read and write.

In truth, I don't think I'd come across Emma Cruises before so thank you for sharing the link. One good thing about cruising is there's something for everyone or fine to just relax with a pen and paper or a good book.

Glad you enjoyed your vacation, ad got to do some creative writing out of it!

Thanks :-) It's nice to have moments to stop and pause on a holiday away when they can be quite chaotic, can't they?
