Bermuda Cruising : Day 8 - Sunday : Farewell Cruise, NYC Birthday Fun & Heading Home

Our ship arrived in New York City around 3 AM. I woke up early at 5, hoping to catch one last sunrise from the cruise—but the sun was hidden behind the skyline, giving the morning a soft, hazy glow instead. Still, it was a peaceful moment. I met another woman on deck and ended up chatting with her for almost an hour, sharing stories and soaking in the final quiet moments onboard.


Afterwards, I took one last stroll around the ship, breathing in the sea air, sipping my tea, and letting it all sink in. Then it was time to head back to our room, finish packing, and enjoy breakfast with the family.



Although the cruise was ending, the celebrations weren’t! We had planned to spend the day in NYC to continue the birthday fun. After disembarking, we made our way to a park along one of the piers, relaxing and taking in the gorgeous Jersey-side view across the water.






Lunch was at a wonderful Indian restaurant, where we savored every bite of our favorite comfort food. We then took a casual stroll through the city and finally visited a park that had been on my wish list for a long time—a simple but meaningful moment.




By evening, we began our journey back home. We were definitely tired, but our hearts were full. The week had been packed with beautiful places, new experiences, and unforgettable memories shared with loved ones.


It was a truly incredible trip—a perfect mix of adventure, rest, laughter, and love. We returned home with contentment in our hearts and smiles on our faces.

A Journey Through Sunshine and Serenity: Our Florida Getaway

Embarking on a journey to Fort Lauderdale, our adventure began with a serene stay at the Miami Beach Ocean View Hotel. We reached late to hotel and when we opened our eyes, it was a pleasant welcome by morning sunrays. The first day was a delightful blend of cultures, starting with the vibrant Wynwood Walls neighborhood, where the gelato’s authenticity transported me straight to Italy. Dinner was an elegant affair at a chic restaurant, setting the tone for the days ahead. The second day greeted us with a hearty breakfast at South Beach, followed by an exhilarating bike ride along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with Jai. The thrill of surfing was complemented by the taste of fresh fish tacos and the unique Shark Tank drink. Jai really enjoyed surfing and tacos. As the day waned, Häagen-Dazs ice cream for me and frozen yogurt for Jai were the perfect sweet treats before an evening spent basking in the ocean’s embrace. On the third day, We savored  Einstein Miami bagel, a perfect start...

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...
