Day Two of the Drake Passage and I still feel great, that is until I spill an entire french press of coffee on my leg. I'm not that smooth before my morning coffee in regular circumstances, but when you add in the movement of the ship, it's a recipe for disaster. I filled up the carafe with boiling water and let it sit for a few minutes to brew. Upon picking it back up to pour it into the cup, I drop the entire thing and it crashes to the floor, breaks and leaves my leg soaked in boiling coffee. It takes all of a few seconds for my mind to register that I have boiled my leg. Thank goodness my cabin is next door to the doctor's clinic! The skin of my thigh is already blistered, but the doc applies medicine and covers it loosely with gauze. This will make skiing fun! The rest of the day I spend telling this story to everyone on board and receiving looks and words of pity. I am brave in the face of a blistered leg, but this does put a damper on things a bit.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
