Day 19 - Heathrow to Home, Aug 13th 2006

Posted by Max Dunn Mon, 14 Aug 2006 15:00:33 GMT | no comments

We had the fun of flying out of Heathrow only 3 days after the airport was closed down due to a possible terrorist attack employing liquids carried on the plane. Everywhere, there were long queues (“lines” for you Americans), and lots of security, but we made it home eventually and uneventfully.

Today we had to get off the ship (sniff). We went to breakfast and I had my smoked salmon and scrambled eggs one last time, before we got off the ship. We then spent the rest of the day in London.

The last day on the cruise was spent at sea travelling back to Dover. The highlight of this day was the kid’s talent show where Claire danced.

Day 15 - Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug 9th 2006

Copenhagen was great. We employed our usual method of experiencing a city: Internet, coffee, souvenirs, chocolate. But we also went to Tivoli Gardens which was special.

Consuming and Producing

Posted by Max Dunn Wed, 09 Aug 2006 15:35:11 GMT | no comments

Many times when a young person is trying to figure out what they will do with their lives, they are given the advice to “just do what you enjoy”, and are led to believe that if they do this, then the money will follow and they will be able to support themselves with this activity. However, I think that this advice falls short of the truth, and a distinction needs to be made between “consuming” and “producing” activities.

Noise, Noise, Noise

(Suzanne) I couldn’t take it any longer…it’s 6a so I jumped out of bed, threw a sweatshirt on and marched upstairs to the deck of the Seaside Grill. I could care less what I looked like – all I know is that I was not a happy camper and was determined to see who the culprit was. Someone was making a lot of noise again, right above our room.

Day 14 - Warnemunde, Germany, Aug 8th 2006

Posted by Max Dunn Wed, 09 Aug 2006 15:32:52 GMT | no comments

(Suzanne) Today we reached the northern seaside resort of Warnemunde, Germany. The whole family (Claire included…woohoo!) took a short hike into town and along the beachfront. The wind was blowing at least 20 knots so we didn’t stay too long at the beach – white, sugary sand was whipping around in every direction. There were a lot of kite boarders and windsurfers out there which got my adrenalin going. It looks like a lot of Germans come here for vacation. And everyone brings their dog. Claire counted at least 16 dogs that passed by us, some cute, some not so cute.
