Almost Home

We are almost finished with out 9+ month contracts. I feel like no one back home will understand anything that has happened on here. Our cast is way too comfortable with one another which is both hilarious and terrifying. Our discovery of 4 pics one word and Candy Crush has destroyed much of our verbal communication since there are no new Walking Dead and New Girl episodes to discuss. I think it may be time to say goodbye. I am going to miss the ship and my friends so much though. I even met a great guy from Holland so we are enjoying our time together while we can. Anyway…I’m off to crush some candy then get my party on in Canada tonight : )

Boston

Tea at the Chateau

I went on a walking tour in Quebec City which included a stop at the chateau for tea.

Chic Shack in Quebec City is the bomb.com!

Sydney

Sydney had the best weather yesterday. Hopefully it continues. We had great smoothies and coffee at The Bean Bank Cafe. One of the best dark chocolate mochas I've had. Can't wait to go back and try some healthy things. Ship food is nice, but this is healthier...and the wifi is legit!

PEI Tour

Prince Edward Island is stunning. It reminds me of Amish Country. I took a tour of the Green Gables house that Lucy Maud Montgomery based her Anne of Green Gables story upon. I think I read the books when I was younger, but now I want to revisit them. We also visited the Prince Edward Island Preserve Co. for lunch, where I sat with passengers from my hometown. They even went to my school. It's such a small world. I picked apart a lobster for the first time (usually my dad does it). I always seem to get the perfect tours for me; food and gorgeous scenery.

Halifax

I have been completely obsessed with the Titanic since I was in 2nd grade. Not only does the movie interest me, but also the tragic history surrounding it (twisted I know). I have always said I wanted to go down in a submarine to see the remains, but a trip to the cemetery in which 121 people from Titanic were buried will have to be good enough. At the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, poor and unidentified people from the wreck were laid to rest in 3 rows of graves that create the shape of the bow of the ship. These people are in Canada, because the branch office of White Star was in Halifax. Only the wealthy were sent home.

 

 

 

Peggy's Cove

The most photographed lighthouse in Canada.

Maine!

Say what?!

Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman was perfect. We didn't have much time to beach, but it was still nice.
