Summing Up the Norwegian Jewel
I had to make my own bed this morning. No room steward came in and efficiently and quickly whipped the covers up and smoothed them in that incomparable way they do. I also had to make my own breakfast and, at some point, today I need to vacuum my entire house and clean the bathrooms. … Continue reading
