Home - Travel Update

We are home.  I decided to just do a video to say how we are doing and what all transpired since we left home, during our time in Chile, and the trip home.

Update for Bernie and I in Chile

We are still here in Santiago Chile. 

We are scheduled to sail on Sunday from here up the coast to San Diego. 

Since this is a guest lecturing position and they are paying our way we are obligated to fulfill our contract. 

The Cruise ban came after we left Canada. If it would of been before we would of not gone. 

We have no concerns with getting on the ship, but from there we don't know what the outcome will be. Not sure which ports we will dock, or where the ship will end (hopefully San Diego). 

We have registered with the Canadian Consulate and they know of our travels. We are both feeling physically great and yes we are washing our hands tons. 

Very few cases in all of South America. 

We just really want to get on the ship where there will be amazing crew, great food and drink.  I can think of no better place to be - oh and the weather is hot here.


If things change we will update. Stay tuned

Cruising Update


We are getting messages left right and center from friends, acquaintances, and people we don't know.  Even got a message from a friend today who we have not heard from in years with only "are you safe and okay".  I didn't respond.

We are both fine, actually better than fine we are great.

Yes things are a little crazy right now, and something I have never experienced in my almost 30 years of cruising.

For now we are really enjoying Santiago, minus the riots (which I will write about later).  Our plan is still to travel to San Antonio on Sunday to board the Eclipse unless we hear otherwise.  My faith is in Celebrity and waiting for their call.

Since this is a cruise that I am a guest entertainer my cruise, flights are covered by the cruise line.  So I have to wait for word from them.  Currently the sailing prior to ours is going well with no issues.

I have faith in the industry and that is what I have to do right now.

So for today we are doing wash and heading out to do more exploring and I can see enjoying a bottle of wine later on our deck with a stunning view.
