Hotel @nyware

On the 25th anniversary of  the ExxonMobil Valdez oil spill, we have our own environmental disaster here in the harbor, after a ship crashed into a barge. The port is still closed while the USCG assesses the situation. Nice view from Deck 5 Helicopter Pad. I don't expect us getting out of of here soon--Operation Keep Your Fingers Crossed- is still ongoing. A view of The Port  from The Heliport Update: 3/27/14--We are about to set sail-All cleared and it's very cold-looking forward to some sunshine The Hotel Galvaz Welcome to The Hotel @nyware/Galveston  Such a lovely place Such a lovely face    Plenty of room at the hotel California. Any time of year, you can find it here. Well I was born in the sign of water, and it's there that I feel the best I used to think that spending too much time on a cruise ship was bad so I stopped thinking. Two  songs that inspired me to sail are - Cool Change  ,a top 40 Aussie hit, and The Blues Image's,  Ride Ca...

Royals'-Navigator and Freedom of the Seas Passengers debarking I am an AmeriCAN not an AmeriCAN’T And you are MEXICANS It s nice to know that I can   STILL pay for things in a currency that no longer exists-the US Dollar. Not as pretty as Cabo San Lucas  on the Pacific Ocean in the sea of Cortez, still Cozumel has a Carib-Los Angeles vibe-In fact it’s like going through one of the barrios off the Harbor Freeway 110 or the 105, without the traffic and Los Angry Cars . I would have liked to work in this beautiful tourist trap-Forgetaboutit -expats. Locals are able  to fill tourism  jobs in the region. There is a leveled playing field here in Cozumel.  An endangered species: The expat They speak Money  here as the first language and money is not the key to happiness, but the happy go locals  figure  if  they  have enough money, they  can have a key made. English is their second language They get it that It’s no longer  a pain...

Coo coo for coconuts Coco Vita is tired, Caymania au natural is wired. Loved by health nuts and Hollywood royalty, coconut water is the "new" health drink. It's almost as good as a blood transfusion, It slows down ageing, smooths your skin; regulates blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol; and it's good for digestive health. Every port of call, I make a habit of drinking some. Today, I bought a whole quart. Coconut water is the purest liquid on earth, second only to H20. It's anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory. This is one of those rare super foods. I am taking The Cure.   Coconut's Magic Puts an Infinite Smile on my face It is full of electrolytes, calcium and magnesium. An average size coconut has more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg). It stimulates metabolism. Coconut Water has more food value than whole milk; is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood; and, it contain...

Cozumel One day my life will flash before my eyes. I am making sure it’s worth watching. My life hasn't gotten better by chance; it’s gotten better by change.   By changing nothing, nothing changes. When in doubt, I always have chosen change.   All these changes, however, were preceded by chaos, and the bridges I burned, have lit the way.Yet, at what point is choice--the watermark   of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish--becomes a point of diminishing returns, a "problem" instead of a solution---That is the paradox of choice. There is no YES, in yesterday, and when you are sailing, you are what you are right there and then.   Honduras My   bizarre travel plans have been dancing lessons from God. As soon as anyone starts telling me to be realistic, I cross that person off my invitation list. We are still friendly but no longer friends because they don’t get   IT that if you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much spac...

  This is a favorite port of call.Traveling by sea  gives me the sense of inhabiting my own life. Cruising is the gateway 'drug' to paradise. WYSIWYG-What you see is what you get- I do not create the Caribbean blue ocean, the white powder sandy beaches. Rather they are gifts to me. What I write about comes out of gratitude for being t/here. There are seven days of the week and someday is not one of them. I'm glad I'm sailing today Last month I was The Hyper Organized Intentional Traveler, complete with checklists, sunscreen and "travel clothes"verses  right now The Lite Traveler, on a shoe string budget and the shirt off/on his your back. This  one feels so much better.
