The trip to the airport was quick. No traffic and the airport is not busy at all. We are already in the Admiral’s Club relaxing before our flight.

On our way to the hotel! Our cab driver is the worst! My DD May puke he drives so jerky. 🤢

[HBCcruiser]

John Kerry was on our flight.

We made it to our hotel without getting ill from our driver’s constant pumping the gas. We are staying at the Springhill Suites. We were supposed to get the 2 bedroom suite but something happened to the room according to the check-in guy so we now have 2 connecting rooms for a discounted price. Not a bad trade.

We had an amazing late lunch or linnet at the Rusty Scupper on the inner harbor. The crab cakes were amazing!! 10/10 forks. The butter cake was 11/10..

@HBCcruiserI am following along enjoying your review.  I have been looking at cruises out of Baltimore on Vision, but have not booked anything so far.

WOOHOO! Glad you made it to Baltimore safe! Can't wait for embarkation commentary. We got our GTY cabin assignment today for ours (Aug. 3). Only 29 days behind you. 🥳

After lunch we headed back to the hotel to find a bar. There was nothing in the hotel or the one Next door. Boo! We wound up going to a small place around the corner calked the Water Street Tavern. The bartender made some really great Mai Tais!

Well my younger DD had two delayed United flights out of Phoenix. They finally rerouted her through Denver which wound up being delayed even more. She rolled into Baltimore at 1:30 AM but couldn’t find an Uber or cab for a while. Luckily she got one. I think God was on her side because I woke up right as she was getting close to the hotel. When she got here the front door was locked and no one was answering the door bell. I had to get dressed and run down to let her in! Seriously? At least she made it! By 2 AM she was settled in bed. It took me time to settle down but I finally went back to sleep.
