South America Cruise: Bridge, Bridge, Bridge
http://beverlywalker-southamericacruise.blogspot.com/2012/01/bridge-bridge-bridge.html
Sunday, January 15, 2012. Bridge, Bridge, Bridge. I have played bridge every day, twice a day. I want to sleep in and lounge around in my pajamas. I want to read my emails, twitter and facebook before my feet hit the floor in the morning. I don’t want to put on makeup and comb my hair. And that was the good part of the day. My original blog for today is not fit for public consumption. I am steaming mad and I have nowhere else to vent. Where there is the worst ride. You can feel every little movement.

South America Cruise: Cape Horn & Ushuaia
http://beverlywalker-southamericacruise.blogspot.com/2012/01/cape-horn-ushuaia.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Cape Horn and Ushuaia. We are sailing the inside passage toward Ushuaia, Argentina on Tierra del Fuego, the world’s more southerly city. We are in the fjords and are surrounded by snow capped mountains and islands. It is gloomy looking, with heavy dark grey clouds hanging low over the valleys. It is raining and cold outside. The water is flat so we are having a good ride. This morning I awoke to glaciers and ice floes. What a wonderful way to start the day. Our captain has de...

South America Cruise: Punta Arenas
http://beverlywalker-southamericacruise.blogspot.com/2012/01/punta-arenas.html
Tuesday, January 10, 2012. For the first time Beverly and I went on different excursions today so here I am with trusty report number one. My excursion was called. 8220;The Tycoons of Patagonia,” and began with a sightseeing drive around the bustling frontier town of Punta Arenas, capital of the Magellanes Region. This is the southernmost city in the world situated on the Strait of Magellan, and home to 140,000 persons. Prior to that only Catholics could be buried in Chile … so it makes you wonder. Our f...

Adventures from the Other Side of the World: New York City -- Day 2
http://beverlywalkersworldadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-york-city-day-2.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. New York City - Day 2. New York City is one crowded place, with people rushing here and there. Traffic is congested but not noisy anymore. Used to be you could hear a symphony of car horns constantly blaring, but today there is a $350 fine for blowing your horn in anger! Cities make up counties, but in this case, the five boroughs (each of which is a separate county) make up one city. September 20, 2010 at 8:57 PM. September 20, 2010 at 9:35 PM. Just hover your mouse over the ...

Adventures from the Other Side of the World: Newport, Rhode Island
http://beverlywalkersworldadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/newport-rhode-island.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Newport, Rhode Island. Michael is really on this cruise. He has not reported on anything yet, but is finally here:. The weather was glorious – how did we get so lucky? After a little shopping and walking around the village, I was starting to hurt and was dragging fanny; I was carrying the ship’s backpack (with emergency supplies), my polar fleece jacket, the camera, and my purchases (Coldwater Creek, oh yeah!

Adventures from the Other Side of the World: Bar Harbor, Maine
http://beverlywalkersworldadventures.blogspot.com/2010/09/bar-harbor-maine.html
Thursday, September 23, 2010. Bar Harbor, Maine. What is in Bah Hah-bah? This history of the area goes like this: the British and French fought. The British won. The Revolutionary War happened. Maine becomes the 23rd state. The end. That is because lobsters are either right clawed or left clawed. The larger claw is the crusher (to open clams and oysters) and the smaller one is the pincher (to withdraw the meat from the crushed clam). It takes seven years for a lobster to mature to one pound. ...We finish...

South America Cruise: Red Eyed and Weary
http://beverlywalker-southamericacruise.blogspot.com/2012/01/red-eyed-and-weary.html
Thursday, January 5, 2012. Red Eyed and Weary. How do you fit six people and their luggage into one car? You take the Expedition. Thank goodness we have a very large vehicle as it would not have been possible to put in six people, a car seat, a bucket full of sand toys and nine pieces of luggage plus carry-on bags, and a pizza! As you all know, the Walkers cannot travel light. I try, I really do. We arrived at the airport with eight pieces, four of which we checked. She wanted to go with us. The food ...
