Karen @luvteaching,so sorry to hear about DH Phil. Our prayers are with you and your family. Susan

Wow! How great to receive birthday greetings from so many of you great people. ❤️. Thanks @ger_77, @ottahand7, @grapau27, @smitty34877, @rafinmd, @marshhawk, @JazzyV, @dfish, @StLouisCruisers, @puppycanducruise, @cat shepard, @kazu, @cruising sister. I hope I didn’t forget anyone. it’s been a while since I posted. My DH and I got off the 45 day Hawaii and French Polynesia cruise just before Thanksgiving and I immediately went from airport to urgent care to ICU with a heart issue that has been resolved. Then we were supposed to join four friends on a Panama Canal cruise the beginning of this month but cancelled the day before we were to go FLL because my DH was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery for a small intestines blockage. Two friends cancelled with us and two went because they were already in Florida. The four of us have rebooked for March. 🤞 So we’ve been busy just recuperating and getting use to a new medication routine. @grapau27, thanks for the reminder about the Reagan assignation attempt. I live in DC and yes, it was my birthday but I was spearheading a Fire Safety and the Handicap conference that day at George Washington University right next door to GW hospital where he was taken. Never a dull minute in DC! My DH’s mother also died that day 😿. A day to remember. Hope today is not as dramatic. Well wishes to all who are “under the weather”, celebrating and getting that walk in the park in. @rafinmd hope you continue to progress, neighbor. Susan

We’re doing the full transit on the Zaandam in three weeks. Did a partial transit on the Zuiderdam so we are looking forward to going all the way on the ship instead of the ferry. It’s a great experience no matter what ship you are on IMHO.

Happy Valentines Day to all ❤️💌💕. Today is also my DH’s birthday so that’s what we’ll celebrate. prayers for all because we all need them and wishes to those needing for a swift recovery.

Thanks @The Inside Cabin We did this with our fingers 🤞 crossed. We leave October 1, returning 11/17 so in DC we will miss receiving our ballot by mail, early in person voting and Election Day. We should receive our ballots by email, print them out, complete and have HAL fax them in.

Agree, take it 🤪. However be aware, once you go Neptune you may never go back! That’s what happened to us 10 cruises ago on our second HAL cruise. We never regretted it ❤️. Susan

I agree @superoma, I love the Louise Penny series with Inspector Gamache and have read all but the newest. Susan

@aliaschief, like Roy @rafinmdwe did the Rovos Rail Pride of Africa train trip from CapeTown to Dar es Salaam and it was an adventure of a lifetime. We’ve considered taking the Africa World Cruise but are opting to take another Rovos Rail trip. It takes you right into the heart of the towns and you really get to see the people going about their daily lives. Our TA promised it would be an adventure and it was more than we could have imagined.

We agree Roy @rafinmd, living in the DMV we get all the election adds for Maryland, Virginia and DC, and since their primaries are spaced out it’s a never ending parade of “Vote for me and not my terrible opponent “. Glad we get a reprieve for a month or so before the election ads start. Glad we’ll be on a BHB during most of it 🤪. Susan

My goodness, how quickly she is growing. Does she know she has so many virtual friends? So glad her Grandpa is out of the hospital. Susan

@marshhawk, have you tried KFC coleslaw? Friends think it’s the best as we do. Susan

Condolences to @StLouis Cruiserand family on Buddy’s passing 🙏 and cheers to @HAL Sailerthat Curt is recovering so well. Bon voyage to those getting ready to sail, I envy you 🤪. Susan

Thanks 😊

I guess maybe we are old school but we “dress” every night for dinner. Most of one big suitcase is dinner clothes, shoes, accessories. For us it makes cruising special and dinner not just a meal but a celebration. Just the way we roll🤪
