Past times on NCL

Since there is no way I am paying the hefty bill that NCL wants for internet – even the low bandwidth kind I decided instead to see how long I have been cruising with them

2011 – NCL Spirit in the Western Caribbean – immediately after Army retirement

N2011 – NCL Star – Alaska

2012 – NCL Jewel – Bahamas etc

2012 – NCL Jade x 2 – Canaries (did the loop twice)

2013 – NCL Jade x 2 – Western Med; Eastern Med (and I still have the lovely leather jacket I bought in Turkey)

2013 – NCL Epic – Eastern Caribbean

2015 – NCL Jade – 21 days of Mediterranean

2015- NCL Escape Transatlantic – Inaugural cruise over Halloween.

2017 – NCL Jewel Mexican Riviera

2017 – NCL Sun – Panama Canal x2

2018 – NCL Bliss – inaugural transatlantic

which sort of counts and 15 cruises and mostly on the older and smaller ships…

and mostly it was reading and knitting as sea day pastimes.

and then I went back to grad school in fall of 2018. And when I was about to be done with that – SARS-COV2 decided to come out and play….

 

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
