It’s 5:46 am, and I can’t sleep any longer. \u00a0Too excited. \u00a0We leave today. \u00a0I already made the morning coffee, went out to sweep the courtyard, fill the bird feeder, and hide peanuts for our squirrels. \u00a0There was already dawn light at 5:15 am in San Jose, and the temperature was about 57 \u00baF – no jacket required.<\/p>\n

This may be my last time on good internet for a while. \u00a0I can’t see how the ship can maintain good bandwidth over a satellite link when thousands of passengers share the connection.<\/p>\n

My mind is racing. \u00a0The ship is supposed to be 781 feet long, more than a city block, but will every space be congested with passengers? \u00a0The brochures show it as empty, but who knows? \u00a0I remember riding the overnight ferry from Patras, Greece to Brindisi, Italy, and that it was so crowded, we had to step over people sleeping on deck to find a little space for ourselves. \u00a0Will there be lines for everything, like the buffet?<\/p>\n

How good will the buffet be? \u00a0Will it be closer to a high-end Vegas spread, or North’s chuckwagon? \u00a0The pictures on the website look great, but then again, I’ve known some buffet concepts to look great in pictures, yet be awful in implementation. \u00a0I’m talking to you, World Buffet and Buffet 100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
