Greetings from San Francisco!
San Francisco – Greetings once again from the Disney Wonder! I am sitting here in the Outlook Cafe overlooking San Francisco as the fog rolls in. It’s been a busy day thanks to my friend Jason who did a great job of taking me around town and covering so much. I got to ride on a cable car and street car around town and have been to the Golden Gate Bridge, The Castro District, and the Embarcadero just to name a few.
Back on the ship now to warm up since I have been on the go since 9 this morning. The weather is in the mid-60’s but the wind makes it much cooler. We are here until 23:30 tonight so there is always time to get back in to the city before sailing. That’s the update for now. Don’t think that I will be posting any more until after the voyage but that will depend on mobile service. Until then, here are a few fun pictures including the friend that joined me for breakfast this morning and wouldn’t leave.

Relaxation at Sea and a Taste of Life Below the Waterline
At Sea – Today marked the first full day of my voyage north to Vancouver. Seas aren’t too bad as we go along but, it is definitely not a Caribbean cruise. I started the day off with a 5-mile run on the elliptical before breakfast and then enjoyed some nice reading time in the Outlook Bar which allows for some nice views but protected from the wind.
After that, it was time for some trivia and then yoga. I am enjoying the relaxation this trip and it is nice to have the sea days to just kick back and relax. The other nice thing about this trip is catching up with old friends. After dinner we had a chance to take in the entertainment and then I got my first tour of life below the waterline. Yes folks, I have now officially seen the bowels of the Disney Magic including I-95. All I can say is wow. I have an entirely new respect for what the crew does. My friend wasn’t able to give me the full tour tonight but plans one for later in the voyage so stay tuned as I head deeper below the waterline.
Bed time now so I can be up early for a full day in San Francisco. Internet is not fully functional so, updates may not post until after the voyage. Keep an eye on my twitter feed for the most up to date since mobile service still works. Till next time.

Visiting the Happiest Place on Earth
So Sunday was a long travel day for me with getting up early and then heading to the Disneyland Resort right from the airport. It was nice to be back at Disneyland even if it was for only one day. I met up with some people I work with and met a few really awesome people in Guest Relations out there. I was lucky to be able to get all all of the attractions I was hoping to and even got to enjoy the amazing World of Color at Disney California Adventure. Top the visit off with an upgrade at the hotel, it couldn’t have been better. Pictures to be posted when I have better service.

Time for Another Adventure
Hello again everyone, it’s that time again where I am in the process of getting checked in for my flight and laying out the clothes and suitcases and preparing for my next adventure. This experience has me flying to Los Angeles, CA where I will spend one day in Anaheim at the Disneyland® Resort, which I haven’t back to since 2009, before heading to San Pedro to board the beautiful Disney Wonder for the first time since 2010. I will be taking her from Los Angeles, CA to Vancouver, Canada on what should be an amazing 7-night voyage up the Pacific coast with stops at some amazing ports.
For those that are interested, our ship can be tracked by visiting Marine Traffic. I have also included the itinerary for my trip below. I will be posting on Twitter (@websteth) as long as I have as I have mobile service and I will also try to post updates here when I have internet access and if time allows. Photos from the trip will be posted shortly upon my return to Florida.

Video: If I Were Not Upon the Sea – Disney Dream
So one of the traditions on several cruise lines is the famous “If I were not upon the sea” skit. The skit is one of the highlights of the various cruises I have been on and is a good way to end the cruise on a fun note with the cruise staff. Here is the skit from my most recent voyage on the Disney Dream.

Site Update: Refreshed Look
Well, I thought that after a few years running the wonderful template I had been running, it was time to change things up and give Webby Aquatics a small refresh and make over. I’m still tweaking a few things here and there but, things should be up and running for the most part. Also did some reworking of my current WordPress installation. If you see any breaks, please let me know via email or the contact page. Thanks!
