Watching the sunset from a dock is always a good thing. Watching the sunset while indulging in fabulous food is even better. This is precisely how I spent my evening at Thai Life. I have been to this restaurant a few times, both to dine in and take out. The […]

On Marina Day, before the water sports began, Chef Andre did a cooking demo for a group of 16 people. He made lobster risotto, and I learned a few things about cooking the finicky rice dish, and he made a fois gras creme brulee. Who knew creme brulee could be […]
What is there to do on a ship with only 202 passengers, you might ask? On the first full day of the cruise, we formed a trivia team (the “Seabourn Addicts”), ate lunch with the Aussie’s on “alcohol-free day” (for them, not us), and still managed to see an active […]
You read about the fishing adventures last week. Well, after catching an abundance of little yellowtail snapper, we had a couple of really good dinners. Here is a photo of the little guys after they have been stuffed with fresh oregano, thyme, sage, garlic and lemon and roasted at 425° […]
