  1. @MISTER 67 heading to the ABC Islands on the Equinox for 9 days Feb 15
  2. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Warmer today as temps will be in the mid 70s with 80s coming up for 5 straight days starting tomorrow Not sure about the quote as I’m pretty sure that I’ve never had a Scottish meal Never had spaghetti soup though there are great soups that have some forms of pasta, pasta fagiole being one of my favorites No need to measure my feet, however they’re large for my height Handwriting or cursive isn’t taught in schools anymore, how do younger people sign their name on documents Pies are great, DW happened to make a pumpkin pie yesterday Have a great day and stay well
  3. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Cool morning heading up to 70 today Good quote by MLK Cauliflower and Broccoli aren’t my favorite veggies so I’ll pass on the meal My Buccaneers couldn’t pull it off and are out of the playoffs I wish the election was over, it’s only January and I’ve had enough politics already, 9 more months of this Off to the golf course in a few minutes Have a great day and stay well
  4. Oops, big mistake by me, Bucs and Lions are playing at 3PM EST, Bills and Chiefs are the night game.
  5. Great photos of a place I always wanted to visit but that ship has sailed, no pun intended.
  6. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Only 42 degrees here this AM, coldest day of the winter season but we’re going to have a nice gradual warmup this week, up to 83 on Thursday. Strange days today as is the quote Any kind of pasta works for me Tough game tonight for my Buccaneers against the Lions in Detroit My Lightning are playing their best hockey so far this season, by coincidence they’re also in Detroit tonight playing the Red Wings, there will lot of channel switching for me this evening Have a great day and stay well
  7. We love the open closet on Princess, seems like things are easier to access plus there’s room to store your luggage.
  8. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Another cool but sunny day, tomorrow will be the coldest day of the winter with a low of 43. The good news is we are heading up into the 80s this coming week. Just back from our favorite diner, had a great ham and cheese omelette Funny quote Is butter crunch the same as butter brickle which back in the day cost a nickel Pass on the meal as I don’t care for curry My favorite aunt was from Bari, Italy Have a great day and stay well
  9. I was a vendor in 1962 at Comiskey Park and Wrigley Field, I sold bags like that for 10 cents a pop at Wrigley, big seller as the kids didn’t have that much to spend.
  10. Story on the news this morning on how people are starting to revolt with tipping getting out of hand, I for one despise it when in a restaurant you receive the check and there are suggested tips at the bottom of the check, the other day we had one that had 20%, 30% and 35% and each suggestion included the tax which is plain wrong. Just about everywhere you go now you will see tip jars for things you never thought of tipping for before. I also don’t like it when the server asks do you want change back if you leave more than the what the tab is.
  11. We hate flying and what’s happening lately has reinforced our reasons.
  12. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Just back from the golf course as it started to rain, what else is new Good quote today We love popcorn and munch on it for our afternoon snack at least 4 days a week For 78 I have excellent memory Uh, I forgot what I was going to say next😉 Have a great day and stay well
  13. Hardly anything now as we are in our late 70s and very seldom leave the ship, as the saying goes, “been there, done that” but back in the day we spent quite a bit especially in St. Thomas and Grand Cayman for things like jewelry, watches and Lladro not to mention tours. On European cruises we have spent around a thousand dollars on each cruise for tours and souvenirs.
  14. 2 dollar bills were very popular in the USA back when horse racing was so much more popular than it is now as most bets and the payouts were based on 2 dollar amounts. If you spent an afternoon at the races, it’s more than likely you came home with more than a few 2 dollar bills. I never heard that they were unlucky.
  15. Agree, on land and at sea.
  16. We usually on the last night give our waiters 20 each and also the cabin steward. To tell the truth if the automatic gratuities keep rising much higher, we might cut out the extra cash.
  17. Only the shadow knows.
  18. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Another cool day with more rain on the way, so far this winter Florida hasn’t been the Sunshine State The quote makes sense but could be debatable even though my home town of Chicago is the town that Billy Sunday couldn’t put down (from the song “Chicago”) I like garlic mashed potatoes once in awhile Have a great day and stay well
  19. Greetings from beautiful Punta Gorda Another cool day coming up, quite a bit of rain yesterday so it’s cart paths only on the golf course today I was never a fan of Katherine Hepburn but can’t argue with her quote I like beef stew in fact DW cooked up a pot on Monday but chicken stew, meh Have a great day and stay well
  20. Greetings from Punta Gorda Another cool rainy day coming up in southwest Florida, we almost finished our Golf yesterday, had to quit after 15 holes as the rain came down in buckets and lasted until till early evening Don’t care for the quote or the food Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a great win against Philadelphia last night, keep it going Bucs! Have a great day and stay well
  21. We’ve been on 10 cruises since the post-pandemic startup, 5 with Celebrity. Cruising for whatever reasons has changed and is not the same product pre-pandemic, not just with Celebrity but with just about all the other lines. That being said we have still had very good cruises with only 1 that was disappointing and that was with Holland America. I would not hesitate booking with Celebrity if I were you, in fact we are sailing on the Equinox next month on a 9 day cruise to Grand Cayman and the ABC islands.
  22. We don’t care for most of the Production shows, DW calls them angry singing and dancing but that goes for most of the cruise lines, we walked out of 2 Production shows on the Sky Princess in December. No complaints we the other entertainment.
