Bermuda Cruising : Day 7 - Saturday : Relaxation, Reflection & Celebration

Our final day on the cruise began peacefully. I woke up early and, after my usual morning juice, we all headed to the dining room for breakfast—Shri’s favorite spot. It was a lovely English-style breakfast served with a charming tea set. The food was delicious, and the ambiance made it even more special.



After breakfast, Baba wanted to relax in the hot tub, so Shri and I joined him. The weather was perfect for it—warm and breezy. We had some great conversations with two other friendly couples, soaking in both the warm water and good vibes. It felt like the perfect way to unwind.


Later, we went back to one of the restaurants for lunch, wanting to savor one last taste of the world-class service. One thing we really appreciated was the portion sizes—each meal was served in four elegant courses, but in just the right quantity. It made every meal feel luxurious without being too heavy. We enjoyed our lunch by the window, watching the endless blue ocean as we ate.


With full stomachs and happy hearts, we decided to take a nap. It felt amazing to just stretch out, gaze at the sky and sea, and let ourselves truly relax—no schedules, no demands, just peace.


The afternoon was perfect for catching up on a little reading and writing, a calm moment to reflect on the trip and jot down memories before the hustle of everyday life starts again on Monday.


We ended the day on a high note—with a family dinner celebration, complete with cake cutting, cocktails, and delicious food. The evening wrapped up with lively performances that filled the room with laughter and joy. It was the perfect send-off to an unforgettable cruise.

Canadian Rockies - Day 1 - Waking Up to the Magic of Canmore and the Rockies

After a late-night arrival at around 2 AM, we finally woke up to our first morning in the Canadian Rockies - and what a surprise it was! Since we had reached in the dark, we had no idea what surrounded us. When I stepped out onto the balcony, I was greeted by a breathtaking view - majestic mountains all around, their peaks kissed by the early morning light. It was one of those moments that instantly fills you with gratitude and excitement for the day ahead. We had masala tea, got ready, and decided to explore downtown Canmore. The streets were charming, lined with cozy cafés, boutiques, and local art shops - all against the stunning mountain backdrop. It felt like stepping into a postcard. For brunch, we stopped at an amazing Indian restaurant called Mumbai Local, and oh my goodness - the food was phenomenal! We ordered dahi puri, soya chaap, and triple schezwan fried rice, and everything was bursting with flavor. It felt like a comforting taste of home right in the middle of the Rocki...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...

Canadian Rockies - Day 0 – Arrival in Calgary

Saturday morning finally arrived — the day I’d been waiting for so long! My big-time bucket list adventure to see the snow-capped mountains, turquoise blue lakes, and breathtaking hikes of the Canadian Rockies was about to begin. We woke up excited and buzzing with energy. I wrapped up the packing, made some food for the kids, and after a quick meal, we were ready to roll. By 2 PM, we were off to the airport from Boston. Everything went so smoothly — hardly any crowds, we were among the first ones to check in, and soon we were relaxing in the lounge before boarding. The flight itself was peaceful. The Wi-Fi worked surprisingly well, so we caught up on some browsing before drifting off to sleep midair, dreaming of mountains and alpine lakes. We landed around midnight, and after picking up our luggage, we headed to the car rental counter. The lady there was super nice — she even shared some great local tips on restaurants and must-visit spots. To top it off, she handed us the keys to a b...
