Did Chaka leave you something? 🫨

 

I’ve been wondering what that was too!

@TxTeach79 I am so sorry about your dad. It sounded like he was going to pull through so I was so surprised when I read your post. Enjoy your cruise in honor of your dad. 

Thinking of you today @Jamman54 and Patti. Hugs and prayers to you both.

Jumping on board and following along! This will be fun 🤩

Oddly I have never had Gino’s. Nancy’s is my favorite. I have had Giordano’s the most, because they had a location at U of I when I attended 40 years ago. Lou Malnatti’s, Pizzaria Uno, Rosatti’s, Labriola, all have been solid in my experience. Basically just go to whatever pizza joint is closest to your hotel. It doesn’t have to be a name you recognize to be great pizza in Chicago.
 

For thin / tavern style you can’t beat Pat’s but Pizano’s comes close.

 

I’m far south suburbs so we are Aurelio’s territory and I never really cared for it.

 

My daughter used to live in Chicago (Lincoln Park) and Pequod’s was at the end of her street. Had their pizza many times. It was good but I don’t really care for Chicago deep dish pizza. A small pizza from there must’ve weighed ten pounds. Little too heavy for me.

@Roscoe13 I’ll throw this one to you 😃

My sister hasn’t watch any of the newest season of Amazing race. She put it on and we have laughed and laughed at the bro/sis combo that got the car stuck in Puerto Vallarta. And another white claw. We decided if we go on, we would have definitely done the luchador detour. The horses were heavy and we both loved pro wrestling. Bring on Rey Mysterio, Chavo and Eddie Guerrero and Mystique. 

Omg!! When their car was sideways in the street. How in the heck did they ever get the car outta that mess 😂😂😂

Starting my work day since I will take a longer lunch break today for 3rd & 4th grade awards. I always have the tv on in the background…I’ve got last night’s Amazing Race on. Love seeing Sousa Beach in Puerto Plata on there. We’ve been there twice… maybe even on that same catamaran they use to dive down and get the clues. 

I loved TAR this season except the ending was so predictable and rather anticlimactic.

Or Semisonic's version...

 

Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl

Closing time, one last call for alcohol
So, finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from
Closing time, this room won't be open
Till your brothers or your sisters come

So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end, yeah

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end

How long did it take you to type all that out 😂😂😂

Geez….you just started this 9 hours ago and it’s already 3 pages long. Joining in the fun and following along.

Yeah from what I’m hearing there was probably a tax thing since they have all been cracking down on that as of late. I don’t believe the 2 interiors were offered. 

Exactly. Why wouldn’t she just take that offer and fight it out with carnival later. Supposedly booked the cruise a year out and then wouldn’t take the cruise because it wasn’t the room she wanted. Something doesn’t add up.

Following and hoping you have the best cruise ever. Thanks for taking us along.

Loved it. Valiant Lady circa January 2023, Mr. Megan and I missed our tour leaving while we were drinking Mamajuana and buying jewelry. We walked that same route to catch up with everyone. Good times! 

Oh my gosh!!! Love it 😍 

Did anyone else peep the Virgin ship as the backdrop for the pit stop in the DR on the Amazing Race last night?

Who is “C”? Is that the one you hooked up with last time that didn’t go so well, or is this someone else?

They kept saying we were early with everything. I didn’t get it until we got on the ground and my time changed to central. I booked this to get in at 2pm and I was off of the play by 1:20.

Oooooo nice. Love those early arrivals.

Oh nooooooo!!!
