Cruise trip to Canada & New England in Fall


Friday, October 5, 2012

旅遊渡假又將至
我並不盼"離蜀" (vs 樂不思蜀)
不是身體難應付
在家舒適無累時

中秋已過暑氣旺
許是今年氣候狂
近日終見氣溫降
十日回來迎秋霜(?)


 the connecting flight to Quebec immediately impossible. Counter woman insist there is no seats available until the next day of cruise. With strong protest, a guy come to handle, and eventually put us in AA flight.

出遊未始狀況出
加航辦事令人怒
幸虧早到可処理
遊輪之旅難出師

落後國區常出包
先進國家沒較好
設備雖新人不勤
服務品質一樣糟

先進人民體不勤
效率不彰此為因
人性惡勞被縱容
制度僵敗成瘟癮
(like strong interest groups such as insurance,oil groups, unions)

Oct 6, 1st day Emarald Princess Cruise


魁城微雨好景觀 
聽說賞楓已嫌晚
愉悅登上公主號
陽台套房滿舒爽

萬事皆備為出遊
忘帶唯一利尿薬(flomax)
千叮萬囑不可忘
卻是唯一被漏掉

從此十天不吃薬
不知能否順排尿
但願前日石榴酒
滋益可撐到回家

Oct 7, day 2

St Lawrence river, 3rd largest river of Canada.

British army led by General Wolfe, won a crucial battle over French in couple hours that influenced the fate of this area. Both generals were honored with statue and monuments.

古戰場 or the name of guide the same place
1759 英軍砲球未爆夾於樹下

On first view of colorful trees around St. Anne's church

漫山遍野紅幾層 各國遊人覧殊勝
日人自家秋景美 遠來賞楓為何因

秋神抹色有不公
楓紅層層多不同
半月一陣風和雨
盡歸塵土滿山空

魁城自為一政區
英法糾葛多世紀
如今雖屬加拿大
多次嘗試要獨立

厚衣入箱難思議
首日即穿仍嫌稀
北東大陸確不同
如今已嘗隆冬期

Minday, October 8, day 3

船報通知時鐘調
往前一時惹我淆
若同美規應退一
不知是否更東遙

果然加國比美長
東連好一塊島壃
以前看圖忽略此
行路終補萬卷書

六樓賭博坑人區
十人九輸是常理
陸場有擇都能削
海上獨家更霸氣

Tuesday Charlotte Town, Canada
Got up several times due to urgency of urination but difficulty of cleaning it. One time was from iPhone's clock showing right time by 4 hours ahead.

On the beautiful quiet town,Charlotte town, Capital of PEI (Edward Prince Island)
偏延美洲東北角
孤房綠院無藩墻
討海種地迎遊客
就連狐狸也招搖

岳母言幸聊故母
外勞逃後被送出
一入老院福壽潰
都怪兒中無孝主

慈母從未享遊輪
欲訪新宅亦無份(核桃現宅)
尋求眾兄共孝力(只能出錢難出力)
盡遇挫敗愧無期

Wednesday Oct 10, Sydney, Nova Scotia

預吿隂雨實晴天
巿區漫步無大願
如此小地為何停
浪費遊客時與錢

Chat with John & Hillary, old couple of white and 3rd generation Japanese over the troubling future of USA. We agreed that this country is engulfed in a terrible fighting between Dem & GOP, poor and rich, awareness & ideal dreaming. On contrary, the white guy from Chicago was hard cored Obama supporter resorting taxing the rich and taking advantage of US Dollar's unique status to offset deficit. A pure unpractical dreamer to me.

眾醉獨醒尚可穩
醒者知微退保身
半醉半醒堪憂慮
酣鬥不斷無寧人

美國強權難長久
印鈔抵債非良策
兩黨如果續纏鬥
貽禍下輩與他國

October 11, Halifax,Nova Scotiia
Last night Got up 3-4 times with hard time to pee again despite of Super Beta. May be I should not drink too much Bloody Mary while reading B. Franklin.
Last. Night we experienced bumpy voyage from supper time. Mr. Fu's wife got sea sick.

浪撃大船床搖動
許是外海風浪凶
整晚感覺爆裂聲
彷彿船在崩解中

Tour on Halifax
Closest to the site Titanic sank, this city sent ship to rescue survivors and collected corpses to bury in their cemetery. 1917 ammunition ship collided and exploded to kill 2000 injure even more. Boston came to help and create a good relationship in history.
Susana Olen, muse head beer
原來此城不尋常
世界排名二大港
馳援善後鐵達尼
傲擁聖保羅教堂

On Peggy's Cove



隂睛不定雲飛促
藍水白浪巨岩石
百年自然無人工
燈塔作景畫多姿

Oct 12, Saint John, Rain day

St. Patrick' square, 1877 大火 great fire. ,rebuilt in 1878 for most building.
From NY folk. Tim Horton, hokie player.
It is a typical British colony.
Loylist,
Lucy Mud Montgamony of Gre en Gables of Charlotte town, Elhart,

St. John. Hurricane Hugo caused cruise to dock here. 64 ships in since then.

Low tide, slack tide, high tide

Visiting Martella castle? 1845


雨天遊景意瓓珊
只想及早回大船
 最後走到古碉堡 (Carleton Martello Tower)
始悟美加兄弟孿


美加同屬英國裔
美先立國向北欺
北鄰英屬求自保
聯合陣線加國立

saturday, October 13 Bar Harbour, Maine

愛鳯"回神"在清晨 (iPhone has been idle on boat for days)
原來船已回國境
髙山美景秋意濃
緬因龍蝦鮮味真

明日將訪波士頓
美陸成立第一城
刻讀先賢班傑明
正是關鍵有趣時

Sunday, October 14 Boston

煙雨濛濛訪波市
眼前事物證歷史
哈佛原名為劍橋
還好沒河名泰晤

哈麻並立在巿區
(Harvard & MIT,or 哈買兩齒)
盛名響徹全寰宇
如若兩雄再合併
學術壟斷事非輕

祖國重稅作犯房
移民抗議勢難擋
首次槍響出此地
獨立宣言創新邦

從此美國一路壯
二次戰後竟無雙
祖國老英成小弟
孿生小加變跟班 (Canada 是也)

盛裝赴宴吃大餐
龍蝦可口吞兩盤
胃口奇佳驚四座
許是氣氛令人歡

On marble house visit about the Vandebilt family

大陸新創商機湧
主流事業得利豐
鐵路輪運冠全邦
贏得富名列世雄

臨行再嘗東北鮮
蚵美蟹鹹啤酒甜
笑言長此吃喝玩
三髙肥胖來考驗

轉眼假日近尾聲
晚間打包先出門
鄰里好友享旅趣
互助嘻鬧樂全程
