NHProud

We used Dora the Explorer in Cartagena. We were part of a group organized by someone on our roll call . It was hot so we asked the tour guide if we could stay on the bus while the other passengers toured the old town. The bus driver kept the AC on which was a relief. Christmas Tree Shops to liquidate all stores. SD has a a year round Christmas store and I don’t know how City Lights stays in business. You probably have all that you will ever need .

Happy anniversary ! You have good taste . I have a box of Sees chocolates on my table in front of me and I’ll have one in your honor !

You should be good to cruise .The holidays might be a problem, though. Let your friends entertain you this year . The problem with wheelchair assist is that there are so many requesting the service on ships. When we were on HAL it was a mess. I finally had to voice my concern to get off the ship .

It is with sadness that I read your latest news about your knee . I am so sorry to learn of the condition of your 2nd knee and that your only recourse is surgery. I know how much you wanted to avoid it . I hope , it will be less stressful for you physically . My husband is 2 months post surgery and walking around without a cane for weeks . He’s not doing marathons but gets around just fine . Our next cruise is at the end of September and we’ve requested wheelchair assist on and off the ship just so he doesn’t have to stand for a long time. He has had a much easier time than you . His surgery was done manually , no general anesthesia and in and out of the hospital within 8 hours . Good luck to you and always let us know how you are doing and the best to Linda .

From Rome2Rio app. I hope all are visible except drive .

My husband who isn’t from New England noticed that the whole lobster that I had ordered in the MDR lacked the claws . This was years , ago . The waiter told him that they use the claws in other dishes. Ummm , no ! The next day I was served a whole lobster including the claws.

@Sea Dog Greg , so sorry you are still experiencing knee pain . I hope , the stem cell transplant fixes you up . You have to be in ship shape for your upcoming cruises. I don’t think your MRI experience is out of the ordinary and you did well . My mother-in-law freaked out and did major damage to the MRI equipment. Keep us informed of your progress and my good wishes to Linda , also .

Good choice! B&N is my favorite store . I’d rather buy my own gift .

That’s scary ! That has happened three times to my hubby minus the glass incident. Last time it scared me tremendously because he fainted with his eyes open . I thought he had died . The diagnosis was low BP and dehydration.

Five college chemistry majors in my family . Only one high school chem teacher. I’m sure your students appreciated you .

I’d recommend the giant wheel and the rides at the Stratosphere because of their ages . This is not for everyone , I found The Bodies exhibit fascinating. Restaurants I would suggest buffets and I like the one at Caesar’s. It is huge . The last time I was there they had a time limit you could occupy your table. There are a lot of food courts . If they want to go fancy Michael Mina at the Bellagio.

Thank you ! We will try at least one .

We’re going to be in Vancouver in September for 3 days . Do you have any restaurant recommendations? Our hotel is on Burrard St near the art museum. How is Cin Cin ? Thank you .

He is doing well . Adding my congratulations to you and your grandkids ! They are so talented.

Robin Williams suffered from Lewy Body dementia . It would be hard for anyone to deal with it no matter how fortunate you are . His wife described it as demons living in his head . In better times my husband switched seats in first class on AA with James Lipton on his way to interview Robin Williams in the SF Bay Area. I asked him how was your interview with Barbra Streisand ? It took two days !

I know nothing about music but surely the tryouts are not to see if you qualify but where you fit in . These singing groups for PD patients and caregivers are supposed to be therapeutic.

Very good friends are precious and are greatly missed when they leave us . He was very talented. Such a great loss . A good friend of mine will be rolling through your state today on her way to NYC by train . It is such an ambitious endeavor for a senior female traveling by her lonesome. I hope it is a smooth journey for her as she no choice for return except by train . She has a lovely two weeks planned in the big city .

I’m sorry about your musician friend . You must have great memories of your time together. My husband’s brother asked us to join him and his lady friend in LV so we did . We had a fun time with them . One month later he died . We are so grateful to have had one last visit him . When in LV , I think of him . Woe , you go way back . I’ve only read of those deals . The food is better and the shows are glitzier and it costs more , too . Very sorry about your friend, Greg .

Continued good luck , Sue ! There must be more to this room because it lacks ambiance . It is rather plain . Menu looks appetizing, though . Nice feet !

You haven’t been to Las Vegas? I think you would enjoy it . I used to play the slots and I would get free nights . No more because it stopped being fun . We had a house in escrow in the Summerlin neighborhood of Las Vegas and canceled two weeks before the close of escrow. It was going to be a business move . We ended up in a suburb of LA.

That is a pretty good description. My most vivid memory is from a fire north of Los Angeles. I could see the flames from my second story window. Another time I was driving down the street and could see the flames in Simi Valley . Thankfully nothing in the last decade where I now reside .

It is heartbreaking to see the devastation of the fires . Those close enough should park their cars in their garages . We once had our driveway covered in soot carried by the wind . The air quality was miserable.

Looks like an advertisement for their company.

I totally agree. Sue , I save your review to read in the evening. It’s a real treat . I’ll miss it when your cruise ends . Made me laugh, also . You have a great sense of humor .

@Ocean Boy Happy birthday 🎂 ! Have a lovely day celebrating !
