perfect match

We get our first crystal block next week on Allure! I’m excited! I hope I don’t drop ours on the kitchen floor. 😱

I’m sad for you that you didn’t get to see any turtles this time around. There is a different beach on e that is called Turtle Beach. I haven’t been there. The sign at the beach where we went said Playa Piscado. The same spot was listed on Google Maps as Playa Piscado/Playa Grandi. Whatever you want to call the place it was an awesome place to swim with turtles. The one drawback I saw with the place was that as a local fisherman’s beach, it was a place that you would not want to leave anything laying around there unless someone from your party was there guarding your things. Our guide was very familiar with the beach and was fluent in the local dialect. We thoroughly enjoyed our day there and had absolutely no problems at all. I would go back there without a second thought.

We were in the same neighborhood on Odyssey as well, in 10724. We loved it there! We haven’t booked Teppanyaki on a ship yet, but do occasionally go on land. I am now wishing that we had booked there when we were on Odyssey! Now I’m going to have to book another cruise on Odyssey so we can do that! 😂😎

I really need to think about getting myself a USB to lightning cable before our September cruise. I have a very full schedule the next few days and even Amazon won’t get one here in time for our Allure sailing. I do plan to bring and try my Firestick. We’ll see how that goes. I love your watch charging on the wall! 😂

Laurie, that is one very cute little cat! 😻😻😻 She doesn’t need that one orange cat brain cell, she’ll get by in life on cuteness alone!

Thank you for the great pictures and videos from Hideaway!

Sue, do you know what beach your tour company took you to? We booked privately and saw plenty of turtles! Our guide did say that timing is everything because the turtles know when the local fishermen come back to shore and will be cleaning their catch. That’s a dinner bell for the turtles! Since you didn’t get to see any turtles, I wanted to share one of mine with you. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for sharing your Panama Canal cruise with us. I really enjoyed sailing along with you!

Lioness strikes again! Congratulations on another handpay jackpot!

Laurie, I love your suitcase set up. What a great example of where there’s a will there’s a way! The solo travelers meet and greet looked like a lot of fun. I’m guessing that you will have a whole group of new friends for life by the end of this cruise.

I’ve been running a bit behind here, so I didn’t get to post my fur kids when requested but I couldn’t let a request for pictures go unanswered! Meet Oreo, who is a very good boy along with his very favorite toy. And this is Merida, our new little rescue who is a very Brave little princess and who was about to break that toy behind her into three separate pieces and send the balls it contained flying all over the house! I don’t think she’s ever lived in s house before or had toys to play with before we adopted her three weeks ago but she’s learning fast!

Glad you got to ride!

Hope you’re feeling better soon. 🥰

Me too! Only problem is that I don’t even really know how to use our free play. 🤔. Can we even use free play in the non smoking casino on Allure? Never mind me not knowing what machine to play or how much to put in it! I think that as Diamonds we each get $6 in free play. With my luck that will be gone in about 6 seconds! 😱😂 If I were to ever win anything at all I’d probably end up in medical in cardiac arrest! @Lionesss, I don’t know how you do it but I certainly admire your skills in the casino!

Loved this picture! Thanks for sharing both of the Brown Booby pictures.
