Let's say that you were in Montreal, Canada and you wanted to go to LA? Do you know the way? I suppose that the easiest way would be to fly. Or maybe a train or bus? You could rent a car I guess. But, wait, you could go by cruise ship which is what we are doing! We flew to Montreal last night, Wednesday and are spending the day here prior to getting on the Oceania Vista tomorrow. From here we will cruise out the St. Lawrence and then down the East Coast to Miami. When we get to Miami we are getting a bonus 2 days on the ship - it is the first visit to Miami, the corporate home of Oceania, for this new ship so they are doing a "Showcase Sailing" for the locals. When we leave Miami we will be sailing through the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal before heading up to LA and from there it will be a quick Lyft home! In total, we'll be on board for 33 days.
Today in Montreal we did a bit of a wander through the old town eventually winding up at the port for a view of Vista.
We got a first view of fall colors. We're hoping that it only gets better as we make our way through Canada and New England.
We made our way to the Bonsecours Market which was a place to shop for local products and was not a food market as we had hoped. We then walked through the old port area with its nice pedestrian streets and many restaurants.
We are so ready to embark on Vista tomorrow. It will be a terrific month.
Peace and blessings,
Linda and Larry
I hear that there's a witch in Montreal that gives out magical coupons that let you buy ice cream anywhere in the world!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Wave as you make your way through Florida!
ReplyDeleteMany years since I've been to Montreal. It's lookin' good. So are you! Fall colors are well ahead of ours in NJ. Hope I left Vista in good shape for you. Happy Sailing! Maddy
