Good morning and thanks all! We enjoyed a couple of visits to Aruba, along with sighting a water spout! @AncientWanderer Bon Voyage! I think I’m just a little excited for you! Such a fabulous destination! @puppycanducruise so sorry to hear your news! Gone way too young! Such a nasty disease. @smitty34877 glad to hear Tana is maintaining and they allowed the nurse to park nearby. As if you need any more challenges! @atexsix condolences Bruno on th d loss of your dad,such a big loss! @ORTravelGalwelcome! I’ll add to the muscle car, my first car purchase was a 65 Mustang convertible with a 289 Cobra Jet 4 speed stick

Oh Bruno, I’m so sorry to hear your news! I hope all the great memories you made will help comfort you! Hugs, b

Sorry we were posting at the same time and I missed this. I’m glad it’s over,I’d encourage you to go the extra step. Sometimes it’s many ups and downs to really find out things and get the appropriate treatment!

You gave me some giggles! Missed the fibre coke, lol! Our first visit was the late the first evening extremely jet lagged. I bought what I thought were chicken skewers. They unfortunately turned out to be chicken skin skewers😱. But I loved the peach coke and Katsu sandwiches and hot milk tea! welcome @LambKnuckles ok. I need to know about your name…. @kazu these updates will be the death of me. Arggh! @luvteaching condolences on the loss of your DSIL @Cruzin Terri my condolences on the loss of your friend! @seagarsmoker so glad it’s all going well! @grapau27 does this mean you are finally going to try HAL?

Good morning and thanks all. My memories of Cozumel from a New Year’s Day a few years ago when billionaires yachts were trying to out compete each other by having his and hers helicopters! We enjoyed the snorkelling, but not quite like Hawaii. Wishing improvement to all those in need, and a good day to all others! So happy to see the bluebirds are back!

I am so happy for you! We were literally blown away by Japan, we didn’t expect to be SO enamoured. I think because we were a bit intimidated with the language and yet we found it wonderfully easy. Wishing you a most wonderful trip! Do check out the vending machines and convenience stores. Strange but fun! Will be happy to follow along!

Good day and thanks to all! A very happy birthday to your DH @Haljo1935 enjoying all the pet photos, But giggled at Oliver helping make the bed. love my grand dogs! And they’re two different labs!

@Quartzsite Cruiser @StLouisCruisers @kazu @dfish@JazzyV @smitty34877 so appreciate your kind use of blue bubbles and multiquotes It makes it so much easier (and shorter) when I read later in the day. I know it takes extra effort but it’s appreciated!

Good morning and thanks all! So sorry to hear @smitty34877 had another tough nite! Sending prayers for improvement. @kazu glad you are approved for travel, the joys of air travel, sigh! Hoping all the appointments go well! Will wish my DB, my only sibling a great day. He was gone too soon at 30 from a very aggressive brain cancer.

Such a great book! One of my relatives lost his life there. Such an amazing memorial, France gave the land to Canada, so eerie to see the Canadian signs there.

Good morning and thanks all! A special shout out to Vanessa who keeps such amazing lists, in spite of dealing with such health issues, hugs! @erewhon glad you had a good anniversary! Even though I am confused when you said yesterday, it was yesterday. We have friends in Australia and by the time we realize it’s their birthdays, they’re over. either way hope it was lovely! So many anniversaries in April, we also agree it’s a good time to get married! Wishing @ger_77 Maurice and Geri a very happy 47 th, love the photo! And love that you know where you were for all of them. @luvteaching sending you extra gentle hugs as you celebrate your birthday and what would have been your 47 th anniversary! Hoping good memories comfort you! Please no! Much better to get a legitimate count from your usually high quality posts. 🥹😂😉. Plus our friends in the west and down under don’t have to wade through so many posts. We enjoyed watching the eclipse coverage as the pinhole box didn’t work here. Many places in Canada experienced totality. So it was pretty cool to see it turning dark and that light again.

IMO the Neptune is totally worth it, we’ve never regretted taking an upsell. Just don’t wait too long, they go quickly!

Good morning and thanks all, particularly to Lenda and Sandi for the port photos, and Debbie, Dixie and Anne for the wine, drinks and dinner! What an auspicious day to celebrate! Happy birthday to Sandi, @StLouisCruisersand twin sister as well as @Norseh2o happy anniversary wishes to @erewhon, hopefully it’s today and not yesterday! And also to @Overhead Fred and Mitzi! @luvteachingsending extra hugs, grief can hit out of nowhere, glad your DS could visit! @arzz what a story, but I think I like the box idea better! Thanks @rafinmd also hope your visit is a good one today! Well the snow has all melted and we have sunshine! Happy Monday!

Good morning and thanks all! Sending extra hugs to @kazu and @smitty34877 Praying things start to improve for both of you soon! A very big welcome home to the Grand Australia crew! That must feel quite something! re metric, we’re bilingual! My mom only understood imperial, our children only metric. We translate, lol! Lots of beavers here!

It was several hours and included an excellent lunch, but the exact length I have forgotten. We stopped several places to swim.

It did seem a bit familiar, lol!

Good day and thanks all! Glad to hear that dailylites families are safe in Taiwan. After our earthquake experience in Hawaii, I can only begin to imagine how it must feel with the aftershocks. We visited Galway several years ago and were taken by the mackerel fishing. @Quartzsite Cruiser thanks for your photos! I’m glad you are home safely, and enjoyed the gorgeous blue bonnets! I will ever make it to page one being in the west and even further west part do the year, lol! @RedneckBob we had the pleasure of getting our medallions from Captain Timmers as well! @smitty34877 glad the help allowed you all to have a more restful night! Praying for more calm for you and yours. @dfish aww, it looks so sore, glad you went to the dr! Hope it improves soon, if not I second the recommendation to see your eye dr. @Haljo1935 so sorry you have these insurance issues. Makes me feel very blessed. Stay warm everyone! We are in the midst of another spring snow…

@Nickelpenny congratulations! We have over 100 days on HAL but are just on the cusp of four star! I envy you your laundry! @smitty34877 glad you are going to get some help, sleep is so important for all of you! @dfishglad you are getting some treatment, hope it improves quickly!

Good morning and thanks all! @smitty34877 so sorry to hear your news, sending gentle hugs and prayers. @dfish yikes on your eye, so glad you will stop at the urgent care for treatment. We enjoyed seeing some of the flora and fauna in Costa Rica well our snow has melted just in time for the weather event that starts later today! Sigh!

LOL! I couldn’t post them if I didn’t know they were good! My favourite was a passion fruit ganache, it’s missing but there were two. I also really like the early grey lavender and earl grey roses, there’s a a matcha one, a cardamom one, espresso, hazelnut….. It was hard to choose! They’re a chocolate shell mostly filled with different flavoured chocolate ganache. They had beautiful raspberry truffle bunnies,and key lime ones as well as chocolate dinosaurs. Ridiculously pricey but beautiful and we were married at Easter🤷‍♀️

Good morning and thanks all! @summer slope prayers for Mike, so hard away from home! @smitty34877 so sorry to hear Tana and you all had such a tough night, hoping you all get some relief! @ger_77 please don’t apologize, it’s a privilege and honour to help others, grief is such a tough thing and sharing helps! @aliaschief I have loved following your adventures! So glad you have shared! I think we are united by a common love of HAL, but it’s always good to broaden one’s horizons. Thank you! @RMLincoln happy for your wonderful news about the positive outcome for all you’ve been through for DH’s eye! @marshhawk good luck today! @Nickelpenny sorry you had bad results, hoping you can maintain your joint health! We got our snow warning yesterday, today will be very pleasant and than lots of snow. The joys of a Canadian spring! Had to share some amazing local chocolates we had! Such a great name, the chocolate lab!

@ger_77 no words! I am in awe, so sorry for your loss.

For the wine club

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Hope everyone had a Good Easter! We’re between snow storms so that’s good. @ottahand7 hugs to you on this hard day! @kazu excellent news, fingers crossed no more hiccups! We had the pleasure to visit Tokyo and be there when the emperor abdicated. We enjoyed a visit to the imperial palace and gardens. Stunning beside the modern largest city; it can be a tad overwhelming. We were glad we visited at the end of our trip.

@Quartzsite Cruiser glad your DH was ok! They can be very dangerous. The frond fell between us, I was walking with a ship friend and DH was walking with her DH. It fell right between. Safe travels! that’s why I appreciate these guys!
