TxTeach79's Pride LIVE 5/28: Post Drydock European Adventure!

[allinwonderland]

I know this has nothing to do with the contents of this (fantastic) review but as @TxTeach79 is responsible for turning me on to the gloriousness of Blue Iguana arepas, I have to give back -- Trader Joe's is selling them frozen now, and they actually taste pretty darn good! In case you or anyone else needs a fix between cruises 😁

Thanks y’all! It’s never dull - a bit bleary eyed here at 4:45a ship’s time, but we have a leak situation in the cabin….

 

 

 

 

b has managed to power sleep through it, but the drip drip drip has gotten me like Chinese water torture. I’ve laid towels down (sorry, second pic is dark), and it’s close enough to wake up that I’m not going to call maintenance, but I’ll alert someone before I leave…. 

Glad it is your last night on the ship.Sure would not want to deal with that the whole cruise. Again love that you just roll with the punches.

I think they're new!! (as someone who's at TJ's waaayyyyy too often lol)

Which means they might be limited edition...

Our wake up call for 7 hasn’t even gone off - just heard Frankie say they’ve cleared all decks for self assist. It’s 6:40am. Man, that handout was wishful thinking! Scrambling to get our morning stuff together 

[TxTeach79]

Silenced the leak anyway 

 

[TxTeach79]

Almost cleared out

 

[TxTeach79]

No phone book length bill 

 

[TxTeach79]

Last walk

 

[TxTeach79]

Rooms already turned over 

 

[TxTeach79]

Very quick off into a very old terminal

 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

About 10 mins later, took a cab for $5 USD app to the Dover Priory train station

 

 

[TxTeach79]

This station is OLD

 

 

[TxTeach79]

$116 USD for two one way tickets into London. About 50 minutes til the next train where we need to go (London Bridge)

[TxTeach79]

Sleepy Friday morning in Dover

[TxTeach79]

Lotsa Pride folks on the platform, but it’s a sleepy bunch overall

I now have a front row seat to the Thunderdome 

 

 

And look how nicely it all came together! Method to my madness…

let’s not spike the football just yet, a couple weeks ago at this time the “madness” was spread all over the floor at DFW as you were panic dumping cubes into my bag to make weight…..

[TxTeach79]

Some of the trains are high speed, some aren’t. Wasn’t sure which one to get the tickets for. Hope ours isn’t. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They aren’t really labeled

 

[TxTeach79]

Ninety minute journey to London Bridge station 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

They’re playing Rowdy Roddy Piper’s theme in here

 

[TxTeach79]

People who use voice to text on a quiet train are a special breed

Pretty sure I hear that same phrase from my wife when she packs for a vacation….or any other time for that matter.

There was no panic dumping. I simply transferred two cubes and a laptop to you. Easy peasy.
