Seems like that happens often on Carnival and I always forget until it comes out with a lemon. I need to be more proactive and ask for a lime. lol

As long as I have olives I'm set for garnishes 😋

Just curious, are you asking for a quick service?  I'm used to a more dragged out time between courses.  Not that I asked for that, but that's usually what I get.

No but I have found the best servers can pick up on my preference for fast service. They've done a great job with quick service.

Thinking its going to be an early night tonight 😴

That's great!  I'm the crazy lady who picks at her food then dances like a whirling dervish with the wait staff.  🤣

Trying to picture this right now. 🤣

Finished laps up to 31 now so just under 3.5 miles.

 

Did my vifp treasure hunt and fed the casino some more of my OBC. I cashed out enough to hopefully get me through the next two legs without needing to put a card on file. 

 

I really wanted to do silent disco but I am skipping it for the same reason I usually do, last night is not good for me. I need to get up in the morning and I will have a roommate tomorrow, last night with the extra freedom.

 

Hopefully they will do it a few times on the journey cruises and I can catch it then.

 

For now I'm in the room going to watch some TV on the computer (streaming has been flawless) and then try to get to sleep early.

 

Next up, Transatlantic!!!!!

Wow! So much fun, and so much fantastic information so far!!! I just started at the beginning and have enjoyed every minute of it.

 

I will be joining you on the return TA next month, also traveling with my mom! We’ve never done a TA so I am anxiously awaiting all the details from this leg of your journey. If you can post the menus (which I assume will be very similar on the return) I would be super appreciative. I haven’t been able to find a lot of specific details and my anxiety wants to know it all, lol 😀 

 

I hate that y’all didn’t bring your costumes, but no doubt the space was filled with a trip this long.  I was wondering what most folks did for Halloween, still a few weeks away from packing here, but maybe I’ll have space to throw something fun in!

I just binged all 25 pages during the day today. Here for the balance. Can’t wait for the TA

I love it! 😍

Woo hoo - it's TA day!! I saw the Freedom coming in when my alarm went off at 6:00 this morning and was so excited. And we're not even going on it. 🤦‍♀️ Can't wait to follow along though. We want to do a TA sometime in the next couple years so I'm soaking it all in. 🤩

[jam19872016]

Good morning. 

 

It's TA day!

 

Gonna throw my stuff back in the suitcase and grab some breakfast. 

[jam19872016]

+3.2 this is getting a little ridiculous.

Thanks for following along. 

 

I will be sure to post all the menus since it will be unique for our crossing. 

 

The Halloween costumes are a bummer but after just repacking I'm sorta thankful, I'm pretty full and even though I don't have any flight restrictions, I'm not looking forward to lugging around all this weight.

That's awesome! I will never be drunk enough to dance at dinner. Sometimes at the club, but at like 1am with the lights turned down 😆

What's the total? How do your clothes still fit? 😳

+21.2 total. Insanity. 

 

Shirts are no problem I have the same shirts I've always had.

 

Shorts are all bought new for this trip. I bought one size too big but they are barely fitting.

 

Long pants could be a problem 😬
