I have a question. We are doing a Panama Canal cruise on Serenade of the Seas in November, arriving in Los Angeles. For those of you familiar with the area, is a 1215 flight too tight for comfort? We are travelling in a suite, so getting off the ship shouldn’t be a problem. We are flying to Vancouver, and then Regina. Also, momof3gurls and Jimbo, the kitchen and hardwood look great!

I definitely would. Our last house had white tiles with white grout in the kitchen and family room, all the way to the front door. The grout was filthy- we ended up regrouting, which I am never doing again!

That was an excellent review, with lovely pictures! It has me expanding my horizons, despite the snakes and sharks!

No turkey pictures, but here’s a sign from my hometown. The turkeys actually do cross there!

@TravelGirlinDallas My son in law plays the French horn professionally, so there is a career there! He went to college in Houston. Your son is a handsome boy.

Thank you for this marvellous trip report! You write very well, and the photos were great.

I love your sense of style! MxCatLady looks very nice as well! I’m sorry you’re sick; I hope it didn’t detract too much from the trip.

How very odd that they went on a European cruise! I would have left too.

@DandDM that picture of you and your dog is great- you can tell that he’s devoted to you! When we were in Rome, my son bought the cheapest bottle of red wine that he could find, in a convenience store. We left it in the stateroom until all the other bottles of wine were drunk (we had 4 rooms). It was absolutely fine- it seems to be hard to get a poor bottle of wine in Italy! I am enjoying your trip enormously!

Agree!

That looks delicious, but no Coronation Quiche?

I’m looking forward to hearing about this trip. I’m sorry about losing your wife, but I admire you doing this at all! Have a great time!

Thanks for all the great photos! We tend to get the Ultimate Dining Plan- I gather you have been eating in specialty restaurants, but what is the consensus on the main dining room food?

@CatLadyFemme Very sorry about your mother- no matter how old we are when lose them, it’s hard. I think you’re on the right track for a first TA . We have done precisely one, and kept busy on board with pretty much everything, including towel folding! We had a blast and I really want to do another. Sea days are the best! I am looking forward to your review. You are an excellent reviewer!

@Sea DogThat looks fantastic!

That is very true of Saskatchewan as well! We don’t really remove snow, just pack it down- no wonder everyone has a truck. Your Pure Michigan campaign is much better than our former Discover Regina campaign, which I am not going to link!

Have a great time on your cruise! You got my husband interested in celestial photography- he’s not really good at it yet, but he’s trying.

Today’s weather. My plants are on the way from the supplier- I think they will have to stay in the garage!

I am looking forward to this review- we are doing Miami to LA in November on Serenade! Do you have any recommendations for books on the history of the canal?

It’s snowing. I think I said I liked winter, but all things in moderation!

Thank you! We were wondering this as well! I did think about a car service, but I have no idea when we would be done with international arrivals.

I told Stanley about Pet Day. He’s not that impressed.

We used Cruise Control transportation last month, for pickup at the Boardwalk Villas to Port Canaveral.

I wish I could like this 100 times.
