Morning Run


Regardless of how far you choose to travel to escape the daily routine of waking up and going to work, the one aspect you can’t always take a vacation from is being human. Vacation time is generally comprised with activities you wouldn’t normally engage in but it may also include pastimes that you can’t always seem to breakaway from as well. 

Often times I return from vacation feeling I need a break to just to recuperate but that doesn’t leave me yearning I should have done something differently so as to avoid this consequence. Just like smokers have a hard time parting from their cigarettes despite their geographical location, the same is true with me in regards to working out. If you’ve every traveled on a cruise ship you should know that you’re doing yourself a favor by visiting the gym but it’s not a practice you can easily instill on anyone.

I rejoiced in waking up at 6am in the morning jogging on the outside track of our cruise ship and it was unlike anything else doing it at sea in the middle of nowhere.

From the Balcony

Not everyone is comfortable with the idea of booking a ticket and going out to explore unknown places on their own. There’s an understandable anxiety that comes with the process which is why people either don’t venture out to do it at all or if they do, they prefer to explore new destinations amongst other people who may share the same uneasiness. This is what’s great about cruise vacations. You have the luxury and comfort of visiting more places than anticipated and amongst people who are eager as you to experiencing new things but in a more structured form.

For the past 3 years, my wife and I have been vacationing via cruise lines and aside from the many comforts that comes with it, the one amenity we enjoy equally as the places we visit is in booking a balcony room on every trip. Nothing quite like getting up in the morning and opening the patio door for some fresh air and a terrific view.  Room service is free, so on more that a few occasions we had our breakfast outside. Balcony rooms are bit more expensive but it’s one of those features you’ll have a hard time letting go once you’ve experienced it once. I took this photograph from our balcony as we sailed away from St.Lucia.
