Loving your posts , what is the restaurant in Piazza Navonna called ? We are heading to Rome and last time had a few terrible meals. Enjoy your cruise !

Thanks for the tips , will clear out apps etc and I have purchased two small cooling scarves .

Kat I took some tortillas from trader joes in San Francisco back to NZ , we love them as flour and corn . I started packing yesterday , looks so hot in Europe at present , I purchased a fan with batteries and a water sprayer to take , ugly but hopefully helps . Last thing to buy is a power pack for my iphone as its not lasting as long . I got a new ipad in San Fran so cant quite justify a new phone as well !

Im convinced ! Just ordered us apple airtags

Hi Kat my husband is the same , so tired . He hasnt ever tested positive for covid though , just had a nasty virus. All set for my cruise , just thinking about buying an apple airtag , anyone tried one ?

Hi Melody your weather sounds like ours,we’re away at the lake for the weekend and it’s raining again,by the way lovely garden photos and a great idea to protect your pots with the umbrellas. My mother and l leave on our trip two weeks today,it’s been a long wait . Cynthia exciting news about your Rome booking,I’m pretty sure it was you that recommended the Albergo del Senato where we ending up booking and are staying at. Kat you sound like my husband with the dentist,he’s had a filling replaced three times and got a crown last week,so pricey.I just remembered last time we were in Rome he broke his tooth on a sandwich at the train station! I forgot to say when I was in San Francisco I found a gold sequin top at Bloomingdale’s on sale for $50 for the formal wedding and have got some wide leg black pants to wear with it,Bloomingdale’s is closing there soon so a few bargains,I’ll take the outfit on the cruise as well Enjoy your weekend everyone

Hello everyone.I arrived back from San Francisco this morning. I finally tried Noosa yogurt ,it was only on the shelf in Vanilla but was very nice. I was hoping to shop in San Francisco for my Europe trip but it is so sad, so many shops have closed or are closing .The Westgate Mall downtown is closing at the end of August ,apparently there is too much crime.Sad that such a wonderful city has changed so much. We went over to Sausalito and it felt much safer ,although very chilly on the ferry! I did try my new bag and it worked very well .

Just enjoy your cruise !

If you have had covid in the last three months you should be fine I hear.

I know what you mean about coughing nowadays ,you feel like you have to explain yourself. My husband and I wore masks mostly last year but it did create a barrier and its the first cruise where we didn't really make friends ,although it was nice.

Congratulations on your 50th anniversary Sherri ,we are only 35 years this year and how wonderful to do a family cruise. Dentists sound just as expensive over there as here in NZ . My covid isolation is almost over, not sure about the USA but we still have to isolate for 7 days .My symptoms have been mild and thankfully no one else has got it . Ive been watching Queen Charlotte on Netflix and really enjoying it. Not much chance of different outfits but we have been invited to a wedding in September and the dress code is formal ,will have to start looking .

It sounds like an easy and relaxing first day,I look forward to reading about your long awaited cruise.

Haha ,Yes that is correct . Was a great cruise.You must be excited , we still have five weeks to wait.

I decided the excursion is better with my mother , my husband and I would probably get a taxi. Before covid my husband and I started a Seabourn cruise in Amsterdam and it finished in Copenhagen , a beautiful city. If I remember correctly you were on the sane cruise but we never met .

We decided to book the Seabourn excursion to Mdina and Valletta. SLSD we do also overnight in Valletta. I think I read you are cruising this month? Please enjoy. My mother and I both have covid at present for the first time , better now than in 5 weeks !

Thank you for your replies ,very helpful

Sorry for your loss PH. All this dental work sounds painful and pricey.I went to the dentist in Barcelona after a cruise with a sore tooth .It looked very modern ,they told me there was nothing wrong.When I returned home ,the tooth had died and needed a crown! Thanks for the Malta tips . Last night I tested positive for Covid ,first time for me . Only good thing is it’s before my big trip. Im going to San Fran in two weeks with my husband and will go to Trader Joes and try the yogurt you all wrote about,what was the brand? It sounded delicious

Great shoes ! I am searching for some white shoes to walk in while away , saw some nice and light Tommy Hillfiggers Has anyone been to Valletta in Malta ? Im researching excursions .Just got a clearance on my 3 monthly check up so we can go on our cruise !

I am starting a cruise next month and we have a stop in valletta. I am thinking of booking the excursion to Medina however it say it is strenuous. How strenuous is it for those have done this excursion. I am travelling with my mother who is 82 but walks 5kms a day

What a lovely deck to enjoy in your Summer .

Thanks for all your posts , what an adventure you have had .Looking forward to a 10 night cruise in July ,would love to do a world cruise ,oneday 🤞

Good luck with your travel agent duties Kat.I have been planning ours ,I hope I haven't missed anything! I have just been to pilates ,just started reformer classes not the post surgery ones and alot harder. I did a class yesterday as well and my legs are feeling it! Anyone here do pilates?

Thanks so much for that tip ,my husband loves an espresso.

Great news Lois ,the hand is not my favourite place to have bolos taken. Might have a look at the Athlete sale 🙂 Cynthia I managed to get two double rooms booked at Albergo del Senato in Rome ,they may have had a cancellation .Mum has booked a double as the single looked quite small .We love local hotels rather than big hotel chains.

Lois hope your blood draw goes ok , I can totally relate . They used an ultra sound to find my veins for my scans and had to get a port for my chemo . Drink lots of water prior and stay warm.
