Went with a guy's burger and a bowl of shrimp and grits. Some cake for dessert.

We don't get out as much. Definitely need more assistance 😆.

Today's activities

I found whatsinport.com to be a great resource for getting an idea what to expect in a port. The weather is going to vastly improve as you get closer to the USA. Leaving some rough weather for beautiful skies and warm sunshine.

The music in Habana is turned down to the point its just background noise. Nice! Think I'm going to skip brunch and just grab some lunch later. I'm not really hungry and the menu is not nearly as exciting as it used to be before it got slimmed down. The return of the tomato soup did nothing for me since I'm not a soup person.

That's how it is for new years and 4th of July here. All the fireworks frighten the poor animals. Of course! And I just watched grease on the TV on Cunard.

That was a really great walk. Taking that half day could have been a slippery slope to not exercising but it ended up being what I needed. I felt good today instead of miserable and ready for it to be over. Ive got one mile left to do this afternoon and that will put me at four miles plus one lap.

Yea I was surprised to see stores with Halloween displays at all. They weren't big but I didn't expect them I thought that was a mostly American holiday. Today is Día de Los Meurtos, it got a mention but we probably won't celebrate it.

Off to walk with Andy.

I don't think Halloween got more than a mention 😆. Which is strange because the folks dress in costume at least twice a week. But I digress. That sounds like fun. My mom seems to be taking an interest in that 53 night South America cruise which will take us across the equator. I don't know that I will make it, its quite a bit out of my price range but she's brought it up a time or two.

Burrito time Sorry I ate the evidence, photo upload failed and that sucker is gone but it was sooo good today. I was nervous because there was a new person making them but she did even better than the regular lady. Don't tell her I said that.

I injured my toe on the walking track the other day. Was pushing ahead too hard for too long and it caught up to me. I gave in yesterday and just did half my laps so my steps are down but still over goal. Glad to have the group walk today to motivate me back onto track.

That was sexy santa! He was 66 years old and I could only dream of being that fit at his age 😆. He won his category. I don't know what they were either, wasn't there a group of woman called the pink ladies? If that's who they were it's not exactly timely, but then again I heard a man ask out loud what the smurfs were, and it wasn't because he was too YOUNG to get the reference. I love both foodie foods, and comfort classics so I'm rarely stuck with too few choices. Five days left 😪

I probably won't do brunch AND lunch. But anyone who complains of small portion sizes is visually challenged. It could be fair to say it's quantity over quality, but there is most definitely the quantity.

Missed opportunity with the salt and pepper decorations. That would have been cute. Now we are getting to the bottom of the pasta crisis.

Good morning. There is just one hour left to seperate ship time and US time. I did a little better sleeping in. It's still a little early but this is an improvement. I've got walk with Andy at 1015 I may try to get a quick bite of breakfast in and save brunch for just before they close.

Back in the room and going to try desperately to sleep in in the morning. We lose another hour, leaving us just one hour off Eastern time. My body seems to think it is still in Barcelona. Thanks for following and see you tomorrow.

Man! There is a real energy around the ship right now. I think Andy was as surprised as I was that this crowd could come alive the way it did! I really highly recommend trying out a Halloween cruise on Carnival. They really do a great job. Try to get it over Halloween, its just a bit extra special compared to the weeks leading up to it. Such a great time!

That's because I am the only one with the courage to report on the real issues that are impacting the cruise world. I am hoping by shining a light on the problem, we can begin to solve this pasta crisis.
