In fact, we stayed in bed until Noon before deciding to go into town. We knew that most places would be closed because it’s Sunday, and we were still pretty worn out from the 2-day-marathon tour of Russia. We grabbed a cab and ... http://www.goaliegirl.com/2009/07/05/cruising-by-helsinke-finland/ Note: I wrote this and didn’t have time to post it, so it’s a day late.

We didn’t have to be back on board until 9:30 but we opted to rent a car and drive to Berlin from the port in Rostock. It was going to be about a 2.5 hour ... http://www.goaliegirl.com/2009/07/01/exploring-berlin-vacation-part-3/ Spent some time in the casino last night and we met a larger-than-life character, even more lively than Jake, who was entertaining.  While Jimmy (not James!) is probably the most boisterous and happy person on the ship, the assistant casino manager wasn’t too impressed.  Nevertheless, he and J played some ... http://www.goaliegirl.com/2009/06/29/walking-around-copenhagen-vacation-part-2/ It was quite an adventure, and it was even doubtful that we would make it to port on time for much of the first two days of travel. We left home at about 2:30pm on Thursday. Bruce had his final day of school that day, and we were pretty much packed. ... http://www.goaliegirl.com/2009/06/28/getting-to-the-cruise-ship-vacation-part-1/ I’m a social media junkie.  I’ve been on Twitter since February 2007 and I’ve joined numerous social media sites over the years.  I obviously don’t use them all, and truth be told I use Twitter the most, but I do at least try one out it sounds interesting to me.
