9:41PM At Sea Our ship met Puntarenas, Costa Rica today.  We were in port from 7am to 8pm, our longest docking by far on this trip (in all previous ports, we have been back out to see by noon or 1pm).  Approximately 1,400 passengers aboard the Coral were gone on shore excursions today, but we hung back.  For breakfast, I had my first bowl of cereal on this cruise.  Previously, …continue reading

10:15PM At Sea Our ship started getting a little bumpy during dinner this evening and picked up in frequency.  When we left the dining room, and headed for the doors to the promenade deck outside, we were blockaded by yellow “caution” tape and a sign warning passengers of very strong winds outside.  The tossing of the ship is making everyone’s walking look like we’re all slightly tipsy.  We never encountered …continue reading

7:40PM CST At Sea Since I last posted, I have acquired a cold.  Yuck.  It started out as soreness in the back of my throat, and then it progressed to allergy-like symptoms (tickly nose, sneezing, watery eyes).  But since the allergy medicine hasn’t really worked, we’ve concluded that I have a cold but no infection since I am without a fever.  So I have been miserable with an alternating runny …continue reading
