A dear reader commented on my latest post about my upcoming vacation and said I was “Living the Dream.” I chuckled but had to agree. My anxiety about gaining unwanted weight over our vacation has quickly dissipated. I’ll concentrate on that when I return home. Today, all the food, from the appetizers to dessert, is delicious onboard our cruise ship, Holland American, MS Koningsdam, and I intend to enjoy every single bite.
Loved reading about you experience of observing the totality. Saw so many videos on the internet and social media, but reading about it just gives different kind of chills. Wanted to experience the same, but could not because it wasn't visible in my country. But looking at your experience reminds me how cultures and norms are different across borders. Even though we could not see the eclipse, we were strictly told not to go out at that time, not to look at the sky with naked eye, so on and so forth.
Glad you had the once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I'm sure you have worked hard to 'live the dream'. Have fun in Hawaii!
Thank you so much for reading my post and commenting! 🎉 Interesting that the eclipse is not "celebrated" as it is here. I feel blessed to have been able to see it. Glad I could give you a glimpse of the excitement! 🤗
Wow, Pamela - incredible. A cruise can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Viewing totality can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You had both on the same day. If that's not living the dream, I don't know what is. So happy for you! Enjoy Hawaii!
You are absolutely right Cheri Lee. I feel incredibly blessed. Every day is a new adventure. Thank you! Looking forward to the whole experience. Have a wonderful week ahead yourself!
