    It looks like a beautiful resort. Did you take part in any activities while you were onsight? Is there any nighttime entertainment? How was the food? Are there character meet and greets scheduled? Thanks for the resort tour.

    • @thesometimessolotraveler
      @thesometimessolotraveler 6 днів тому

      The food was delicious! I was there for a medical conference and we had catered breakfast everyday. I had lunch at one of the restaurants and then the food hut. I wasn’t able to do any of the character meet and greets because of the timing of the conference. I had dinner at Monkey Pod and Roy Yamaguchi which are both close to the resort.

      @thesometimessolotraveler 6 днів тому

      Oh my goodness there was so much to do! The street the hotel was on is nicknamed Hawaiian Rodeo Drive. There are a ton of high end shops mixed in and restaurants. The beach is across the street from the hotel. I should have taken more video. I was upset in this video because of the parking situation. The car got damaged the next day by someone who of course didn’t leave a note in the parking garage too. I didn’t show that in the video. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii but I would stay in a different hotel with a better parking situation if I stayed in that area.

      Thank you! The cruise had excursions you could book but they were very expensive and nothing I really wanted to do. I did excursions on the next 3 port stops though but not in Sitka. I bought some souvenirs and walked around, I didn’t show everything because it was raining hard and I didn’t bring my waterproof camera with me. My fish and chips were very good.

    Oh my gosh this video brought back some great memories of my travel to Alaska on the ovation and toured around Sitka Alaska. Did you happen to see this little food truck across the street from the area you were shopping they had the best black cod over rice. And also, we walked up to the totem pole park, I think that’s what you call it which was pretty amazing. I can’t wait to get back there. Thanks for sharing.

    Ok... don't tell me anything specific, but did you like "Dial A for Aunties"? I just started reading Jesse Sutanto. In fact, I literally just finished reading my first book of hers called "Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers" and REALLY liked it a lot. I had a feeling I knew who the killer was early on (I was right) but didn't figure out the WHY until later. I like cozy mysteries and enjoy her writing style a lot. I'm getting ready to start Dial A for Aunties. I also have her other ones (on loan from the library) so I'm trying to decide if I should read the "Dial A for Aunties" series, or her latest book first. I'm writing my first novel and reading her work has helped me to relax after writing some of the difficult topics I discuss within my own writing. I really like your cruise vlogs, and so glad you're keeping it "real" as an introvert. I'm an introvert too, and it's so great to see someone NOT having to be an extrovert on camera (yet STILL having a great time ALL ALONE)! Fantastic job!

    • @thesometimessolotraveler
      @thesometimessolotraveler 19 днів тому

      Oh my goodness! Now I know what I’m reading next. I haven’t read her other books. It yes it’s so good and super funny I was laughing the whole time. I had to hold back my laughter on the plane. That’s so cool that you’re writing a novel too. When it’s finished you’ll have to come back and tell us so we can buy it.

    That hotel looks real nice. I love boutique hotels! I'm not sure if you told us the name of the donut shop, but I would love to know so when I do finally visit Seattle, I can try one of those red velvet donuts and that beautiful-looking Pink Feather Boa donut. I'm excited to watch this video series. I've never been to Alaska OR cruised before but I'm gearing up for my first cruise on Princess next year. I think I would enjoy cruising to Alaska too. My cruise will go to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico on the "newish" Sun Princess. Very excited! *I'm a solo traveler as well.*

    I also wipe down the cabin first thing, but I expect it to still be 'clean' beforehand. I would of lost it with the hand/fingerprints on the window, plus all of the other crud and dust you wiped up. I would have called to have it cleaned.

    • @thesometimessolotraveler
      @thesometimessolotraveler 25 днів тому

      In hindsight I should have done what you said, called and have them clean the cabin. If this ever happens again, I will definitely do this. I had to put the camera down and go over the whole cabin again with more wipes. Plus the cabin steward wasn’t changing my sheets everyday. He was putting the clean sheets in the overhead cabin above my bed. After day 3, I took it upon myself to strip down the whole bed so he would have to put fresh sheets on my bed.

      Door’s get like that from being open with the weather. Some people prop them open. Not sure why let all the humid in the room. It’s good to do the extra cleaning. Room stewards work hard. I ask them not to change my sheets daily . Always take a shower before I go to bed . I don’t change my sheets daily at home . When I was in the navigator. We arrived in our room and the room sort and hadn’t cleaned the deck, and there was dirty dishes and flies everywhere . They cleaned it up fast
