  1. On land definitely, it lasted longer than the usual. And quite noisy in kona,
  2. @dfishthanks, Kealakakua bay is lovely. Hope you saw some of the spinner dolphins and whales along the way, now time for you to relax!
  3. Good morning and happy lunar new year! A special thanks to @JazzyVfor keeping our lists and to @rafinmd for starting and keeping track for several years! @Haljo1935 wishing you a very happy birthday! @Heartgrove congratulations on the new Subaru, I agree that buying can be an awful experience. We need to look at purchasing in the near future! @dfish wondering if your excursion was by boat? @ger_77glad Maurice is a little further along, what a process! @smitty34877 sending extra hugs and prayers things improve soon for you and Tana! We had a rainbow too last night, hopefully it was a good sign as I felt a little nervous going to bed last night after the earthquake. It was really loud and seemed quite extended here.
  4. Oh too bad! So disappointing, we were guessing you went to a coffee plantation. @dfish yikes on the tender loading! I thought your photos were pretty decent! Did you go to Kahuluu? We got a new snorkelling camera but it was still too rough yesterday but I’ll show you one photo. Hope you saw the whales, they were really active around noon. They were saying hello! We watched you sail off into the sunset along with a nude photo shoot on the beach, lol!
  5. Well I did a search and I found something about a thinking traveller? So not sure if that’s the connection. They have an international,voice competition and it is a UNESCO site as well as having one of the top patisseries that was featured on Chefs Table. Cafe Sicilia. I highly recommend a visit. Not to mention the great wine.
  6. DH says they are actually Grey francolin aka manu moa or chicken birds. Google thinks it’s a chukar partridge. We hand fed one last year. This is a nene.
  7. It was in Noto. They have a flower festival where they decorate the streets with flower paintings. I am guessing it’s for that.
  8. Good morning and thanks all! We enjoyed Catania, last time we went to Ortygia and Noto on a private tour which I would highly recommend. The food and wine were great, Nero d’Avila
  9. Just a quick good morning and thanks all! Prayers for those who need them. It is our lovely DD’s birthday. The lovely Zuiderdam is in port this morning. We were treated the other day with quite the show! These creatures are as big as a greyhound bus!
  10. Good morning and thanks all! I visited Montreal as a young teen for Expo. It was wonderful, time for a do over. So sorry to hear the Kauai call has been cancelled for the dailyites! But a sail around the Napali cliffs should be amazing ! @smitty34877 sending extra prayers and. Hugs! @DeniseT yikes! Please get it checked,. I once had a fire in a plug and the fire department told me it was good I called as they would make sure it was ok. Wow! Simply wow!
  11. Good morning and thanks all! We enjoyed Alesund years ago. @grapau27 adding my condolences on the loss of your church friend. @57redbird my cousin had surgery for an aneurysm at Swedish as well in Seattle. Thankfully he is fully recovered. We spent a wonderful day watching the whales and dolphins.
  12. We have enjoyed many areas around Puget sound over the years, love all this islands and we’ve spent time on a few of them, Whitby, Stuart island. Such a beautiful area, Aloha, look who came for a visit
  13. Always interesting how many think the laws don’t apply to them, whether a passport in Italy, an International drivers permit or in Japan the declaration of medicines and medical devices. Sigh….
  14. Good day! Sorry to hear the pacific is so rocky, the waves and swells have been extraordinary here, too. @ger_77 yikes, glad you’re there to advocate!
  15. Over the years we’ve tried many, we lined up for Sorbillos but were underwhelmed. We’ve tried Trianon beside Da Michel and our current favourite Lombardis, is the last photo below, as well as many others. Always think a photo is worth….
  16. Rabbit rabbit, rabbit! A special thanks for all the kind words, @kazu @cunnorl@smitty34877@RMLincoln@Quartzsite Cruiser@HAL Sailer@puppycanducruise@StLouisCruisers@Haljo1935 @cat shepard@dfish@erewhon @grapau27just to clarify the friend wasn’t in the photo at the crown bar. @ger_77 sending extra hugs, always tough to make those decisions. But better safe and the next cruise will be that much sweeter. @smitty34877 yikes, I am so sorry to hear your household is not well, such a concern for Tana. @marshhawk sorry you’re not well, but glad to hear you have a plan for dear bubbles. Yes please remember to enjoy each day and be thankful.
  17. Good morning and thanks all! My recommendation for Belfast is the Crown Bar! We so enjoyed meeting family. @RMLincolnalways appreciate your gentle and kind posts! Feeling very sad today, as one of our group of friends here, didn’t make it. Life is short, so here’s a rainbow that appeared unusually this morning.
  18. Good day and thanks all! @smitty34877 sending extra good wishes for Tana! @StLouisCruisers I’ll add my thoughts as I’ve had a lot of issues. I find gentle yoga very helpful and gentle stretching using a doorway. Hope you feel better soon. @kazu sending hugs and bubble wrap! Enough already! Aloha and Bon voyage, @dfish @Sharon in AZ@summer slope@Quartzsite Cruiser A few photos to whet your appetite from the botanical and cactus gardens at the old airport, a nice place to walk. You may even meet a local
