These buds also have a setting to bring in outside sounds. So I can bike, listen to music, and still hear environmental sounds, like traffic, around me.
Capt. Kate does daily short videos on YouTube. She was supposed to start her off rotation I think a week or two ago but her contract was extended for a couple of weeks for a reason that I don't remember. I don't know if she has another 12 days left or not.
I didn't really care for her at first as I thought she was kind of a "showboater" sort of like Capt. Johnny on RCI. However, she has grown on me. I find her daily videos informative and entertaining. I think she said something about visiting another X ship when she leaves Beyond where she is meeting up with some friends including Capt. Sandy from Below Deck. I hope you get to sail with her. I'm just not sure of her departure date from Beyond.
Wishing you a great, and safe, trip J.C. You have elucidated well the reasons why I never got another dog after I lost my Weimaraner though I truly miss having a dog.
It will be fun to follow your trip. Safe travels.
Interesting that you mention ear plugs. This past Christmas I got a new set of noise cancelling ear buds that connect by blue tooth to my phone. When I activate the noise cancelling it is a bit eerie how it blocks out the surrounding world. It actually bothers me to be so disconnected from my surroundings. I get concerned during flights that I'll miss an anouncement about something. I guess I have way too much FOMO. However, they would probably be great in the OR during surgery IF I were ever to be on the wrong side of the table rail.
