Cruise Shots

Got back a few days ago from a short cruise and wanted to share some pics with you.


 

 



Waiting to board the tender to Catalina.


As we were walking back to the dock, we spotted a sign in the window of a Chinese restaurant that said Fresh Beignets. So we had some!





Next day, I went to one of the decks at the very front of the ship.

The bench was soaked so I went back inside.


Of course, I had to have a Guy's Burger!

Then it was time for more relaxation.

As you can see, I had this area pretty much all to myself!



Carnival Miracle was in port along with us.


After exploring the ship a bit, I treated myself to a chocolate frappe. It was rich, thick and delicious!

Later that day as I was riding the elevator to get back to my room, I noticed something odd. It was a cruise duck! He was so cute, I decided to keep it and post the obligatory selfie as shown below.

The next photo is the one I am referring to on my podcast. After being woken up for the fifth time that night, I sat up in bed and was trying to decide if I should watch TV. On the podcast I said I was trying to decide whether to check my phone. My phone was right next to me all night, every night. That's how I knew how many times people were waking me up! Blame it on lack of sleep. I messed up. Anyway...I had to get up to reach the remote when I saw this,

This completely blew my mind. All of that light is coming through the door frame. No wonder so much noise comes in!!!

The last full day of the cruise was a sea day so all I did was relax. I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of a 4 night cruise on Carnival Radiance. If you want to hear about it, I released a short podcast episode about the cruise. You can find Not Strictly Disney anywhere you get podcasts.

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
