Hello from a cool, drizzly, dreary and kind of depressing looking day in Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara is a tender port, meaning we anchor offshore and use the lifeboats to send passengers back and forth.
Since I’ve been here plenty of times and done all I care to do (Ed and I even walked 7.5 miles here once), I had already decided to stay on the ship today.
After a highly unsatisfying breakfast (bad food, bad service) I went straight across the deck over to the gym. I realized I really wasn’t feeling it so I turned around, went to the elevator, and headed right back to my cabin. Kicked off my shoes, cracked open the balcony door for cool fresh air (and sea lion singing from the buoy), covered up with a blanket, and watched a selection of movies for the day.
Dirty Dancing,
My Penguin Friend,
Barbie, Back to Black. Princess has a large variety of free on demand movies you can watch in your cabin.

I skipped lunch because I knew I was having a bigger dinner at Crown Grill tonight. (Technically I didn’t skip lunch. I had a cup of M&Ms while watching movies. What was I thinking?!)
Also I should have thought through my choice of food at Crown Grill a little better.

| More shrimp and Seabass just like I had yesterday at lunch |

Keylime pie bar for dessert was a little too citrusy
when paired with my lemon drop martini |
Every time I cruise for a long period of time, at some point I hit a wall. The combination of the last three days, along with the weather, may have made today the wall day. Tomorrow we’re in LA (technically San Pedro) where I’ll see if I can break out of this funk. See you there.
