Took just one photo while we were stopped. i was the last ATV in a train of eight.
Paid for a minor fender bender. Note: We sat under this amazing pair of Sea Grape trees.
7-second video: Midway we stopped for a short tour of a “typical” residence. They use propane now. Before propane, they used a fire like here.17-second video: Multiple buildings for: sleeping, eating, cooking, bathroom. There is a primitive septic drain field in this video.3-second video: Homestead tour concludes and we are resuming the ATV experience. 12-second video: Our private lounge — an upper-level Carnival loyalty perk. It begins with the “balcony pool” and goes 25 lounge chairs to the right. Then a long row of stateroom cabanas all the way to the ship’s front.
Would you rather have a trivial public embarrassment, or a significant private embarrassment?
The longer i live the less i get embarrassed.
Why?
Everyone “screws up”. Everyone.
Private significant screwups can last a lifetime.
Trivial public screwups are over soon after they happen.
The Universe is kind like that. Grateful for the cosmos.

23-second video: Another great day. Sunset from our lounge.
Your prioritized priorities are the most honest autobiography you’ll ever write.
Todays posts inspired by this from Farnam Street:
“Your calendar is the most honest autobiography you’ll ever write. It doesn’t matter what you say your priorities are; your calendar reveals the truth. Each block is a decision about what matters, stripped of pretense and rationalization. Your calendar isn’t just recording your time—it’s exposing your lies.”

This glass-sided pool is on Deck 8. It is home to the private pool, a small tiki bar, and an outdoor lounge area. We spend all our Sea Day’s time here.
11-second video: Video shows a portion of our private lounge. It is shared with other Havana Club guests. The family we are traveling with is platinum level. They know the ropes. We ride on the coattails of their Carnival brand loyalty.9-second video: Up past my bedtime.Viva Las Vegas! Elvis, baby.
Today was a great day.
Viva the present moment.

Decorating our stateroom doors.
Captured the dinner menu URL in case i “lost it”. Had some tech challenges before dinner. Mildly gunshy.
Smooth arrival day.
Beautiful ship.
Friendly staff.
Tropical December weather.
Wifi issue initially.
Ship swaying above average.

Not 2009. This is 2008. Six years before retiring from Disney,10 years earlier than planned. i committed to retiring six years before the actual date. This date happened to be 10 years ahead of when i originally thought i’d retire from Disney. Note: Circumstances accelerated a 40-year plan down to 30 years. Ps. 30 years at Disney is not insignificant.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you receive.
The lifetime prioritized priorities we invest in is the price we pay for eventual personal vibrancy.
