The Ambitious Traveler: Recipe For Disaster Or Most Bang For My Buck?

Sexy Nerd and I have been on a 7 night cruise and a 5 day cruise. We enjoyed them so much that we decided it's time for more cruisin' - 14 days of nonstop cruisin', to be exact! We will be flying into Seattle, where we plan to cram several of TripAdvisors top rated touristy activities & top rated restaurants into 3 hours. Next, we're taking Amtrak to Vancouver,(and we will make sure to sit on the left side for the best view) where we expect to (hopefully) arrive shortly before midnight. There's not much time for sleeping though. We only have a few hours in Vancouver before boarding the Holland America Veendam, so we'll be getting up bright & early to take a bike ride around Stanley Park. No big deal, you think? We can relax on the cruise ship? Ha, you sound like Sexy Nerd (and boy is he in for a surprise)! Here is a tiny preview of what else I have planned for this trip, cut & pasted from part of our itinerary: Eat at Bowpicker Fish & Chip

Quack, Quack

Color pencil, by yours truly. As someone without any artistic talent, I'm pretty pleased with it. Color pencil duckling I drew this for our "just ducky" bathroom back when we were renting a house. Perfect for testing out my new scanner!

Blog Hop? BLOG HOP!

Oh man, I am SO ready for this freaking week to be over. (I'll explain later.) (It's absurd.) A friendly reminder: this blog hop is open to any and all posts you're proud of. To share a link on Pinterest, click on the image directly. To visit the link, click the description underneath the image. This linky will return next weekend, giving extra exposure to all the wonderful blog posts and giving you more time to discover links you missed the first time around. Thanks to everyone who messaged me in response to last weekend's Linky with info on the Great Sand Dunes. We went and had a blast. Also, we learned that I am extremely out of shape. Those dunes are a workout! Isn't it enough just to see the sand? Do we really need to walk all the way over to them? My legs are still aching! Have a fun weekend, bloggy friends.
