The official first day of my vacation was quite chill. I purposely didn’t plan a lot to give myself room to adjust to the time difference and the change in weather. I packed so many layers on this trip thinking I would be needing it for my time in New Zealand and Hong Kong, when in fact it was averaging 25°C every day. What I really could have used was a pair of shorts! After waking up and getting refreshed, we…
Back from another vacation! It’s definitely the longest I’ve travelled by distance – over 15,000 km to Sydney, Australia from Toronto. I flew 6 flight segments in total during this trip, spending over two full days in the air. To put that in another perspective, I watched 7 full length featured films while flying, not including the time I spent sleeping or eating. It’s crazy how I managed to do this in under two weeks.

We had breakfast upstairs, then ended up wandering around the ship until we got to Deck 15 where we found an empty table tennis table under the shade. I played for a bit, then headed over to the gym for the next hour. After grabbing an early lunch, we…
For our final port we spent the day in Jamaica. We booked an excursion which would be taking us from Falmouth to Montego Bay. We arrived at port shortly after 7:00am and met our guide Amanda and our driver Jay. It took us about an hour to get to the downtown area of Montego Bay, during which we passed by some landmarks in the city. Our first stop that day was to St. James Parish Church, which is an 18th century…
For the start of our day at George Town, everyone who booked excursions were divided into groups and had to wait inside the theatre until we were called to take a tender to shore. After a quick five minute ride, we finally made it to shore around 10:45am. Once we got settled into our groups, we were loaded onto buses heading to the boat club, where we would then be taking a boat towards stingray city. It was another gorgeous day out…
