To the usual format, may I add ….. boarding today for 10 days of doing nothing but cross-stitch, knitting and dealing with a lot of computer files. Harborfront is not that far of a walk but since I have two good friends also staying here, we have decided to split a cab. I’d show you a map, but really, I think you can figure it out.

At this point, I have no intention of disembarking in any port. My India Visa is good till 2026 but having experienced northern India while healthy, I am reticent to risk my health at this point for the privilege of being jostled in crowds or being exposed to sun, heat, humidity, or insects.
The good news? The upgrade fairy dropped by yesterday. I was perfectly happy in my cabin and being pleased with not having to change cabins between legs. Now I will have to do that, but I really don’t mind. As far as I can tell, there were only a handful of us affected. I’ll enjoy the space, the bathtub and the ability to stitch with a friend everyday without facing the hordes of the lounges.
