KarmaCruisers

No; it’s literally sponsored by princess when you go to baggage claim at SEATAC you’ll see people walking around with signs; THOSE are the people You want. also sorry I’ve failed y’all; catching up with the cousins. We ate

Walking up the gangway now

It’s clear everyone else on this bus is a first timer…

On the bus now..here we go!

Ohh I know I won’t, but luckily the Royal class has a kickass buffet. Successfully got my checked bag, dropped it at the princess shuttle location; Now Im waiting for the actual shuttle bus. Itll be funny becuause my last run on Disvovery out of San Pedro they almost wanted to confiscate my little fan (they thought it was a Nuke)…but it’s sailed on every Cruise with me (including many other princess without an issue; Always an issue out of San Pedro) so we’ll see if my suitcase goes to luggage prison and I have to go plead my case That my fan ISNT a nuke and I need it to sleep (it’s either a fan or wear a CPAP)

Met the shuttle lady near baggage claim; indeed $27.

FFS..look at the time stamp..literally sat 30 minutes on the tarmac waiting for a gate (they had gave ours away as soon as we landed haha) FINALLY off boarding

Touchdown in SEA. Looks my cousins alresdy got their medallions and boarded

Ex’s seat got used by a stand-by..it’s crazy how many people fly stand-by (my last flight with ex no-show was also snapped up by a stand-by)

Apprenrly the shuttle my cousins caught was only $27 each..hell, that’s better than an Uber! (At least for one person)

Cousins called me and told me they landed. I totally forgot about luggage; because they were going downtown to check Seattle out..but they didn’t wanna tote around two rollers. So they got the princess airport shuttle and their luggage went on to the ship and they’re walking around the port area.

Bag checked, through security and sitting at the gate for a 9:05 boarding.

Ohhhh I think I know what you’re talking about I never saw sushi on their though!?

Motherfu….. had to park waaaay in the back SMF hahah

What is this snacks you speak of??

The journey has begun..heading to SMF with an ETA of 7:45.

Dunno if you quoted the right post; but I assume that was aimed at me. Thanks..yeah and it’s weird..at work..women whom I’ve worked with for YEARS; recently have been complimenting me out of the blue (like “your hair looks good”, or “I like your new slack picture”) so I asked my inner circle at work if they’ve told anyone that I’m a “new man”, and they said NO..so I honestly must just have a different aire about me now. Anyway..got the dishes done and the trash bagged up and ready to go out tomorrow. Finished packing (the new binoculars, and dress socks) now it’s time to get some good REM sleep (I WAS getting good REM sleep lately but since Monday when i found out the ex had went to a lawyer, it’s been like dooodoo all week) Got a 5am wake up call; flight boards at 9:05, so I wanna be walking in the airport at 7:30 to get my bag checked.

Im sorry for your loss. youve picked a great ship and itinerary for your first!!

Had to run over to Walmart and grab some dress socks. (I don’t actually own any, lol) My cousin said her and her husband are going to dress up for formal night; so I guess I will too. (Taking slacks, a sport coat and dress shoes)

Yeah I didn’t book this until March of this year. (When I got the comp) I’m cheap, lol.

But it’s like $150 p/p right?

I’m only probably going to use it on glacier bay day. Those icy winds are cooold!

Yea; welcome to the California Bay Area commute (from the Central Valley) I do it 3x a week. we get a lot of vacation time (like 8 weeks PTO plus holidays, thanksgiving week and Christmas week) and believe me I use it all.

Hooray! Work is done..just gotta slog the 150 minute commute home and then finish up some minor stuff around the house, get some money for my aunt who’s going to come check on the cat Wednesday, and then get in bed (5am wake up call)

It looks like it won’t get above 65 at any point in time; so pants will always be good. I’m bringing t-shirts, long sleeves, a hoodie and a Sherpa-lined coat.
