No, that was a small one in Pooler, GA. We stopped for gas at Sam’s Club, and I got my first credit card fraud alert of the trip. Probably because we filled up at Sam’s in two different states today. The credit card company really keeps on top of things. I am glad we get instant text notifications, and can respond to them immediately.

In our travels near to our route down and back, we have enjoyed exploring Charleston, Savannah, and Cumberland Island. Susan just remarked, as we drove past today, how she would like to go back to Cumberland Island. Many interesting things to see, like wild horses To ruins Desolate beaches And unique trail bridges.

We actually came close to all of our scheduled time estimates, except the last one. Someone got distracted by an outlet mall, so we spent an hour wandering around it. It wasn’t too busy, but it did have things that a few people like. Christmas tree and a lighthouse.

What is this girl math, you say? I think Royal uses several of their rules. They use #8 for their drink package. And, they use #6 for their excursions Number 4 covers their reasoning on auto gratuities. Hmm, maybe they invented this math. 😂

I know, I know, you are saying we are four pages into a cruise review, and we haven’t even got to the cruise or heard much about it. So this might be a good time to talk about it. Unfortunately, due to some things that were happening in 2022 and 2023, we had to cancel five cruises. So, we had some FCC’s issued that had to be used by the end of 2023. We pushed our possibilities out as far as possible, and came up with this cruise. We booked it, thinking it would work well with our planned stay at the beach house. So this is evidently a free cruise, using “girl math rule 3” And given that we were able to get $475 OBC from our TA and Royal, that must mean they are paying us to go.

we just got lucky with it. Since we visited on spur of the moment, we hadn’t researched. We walked up to see about the tour, and they said the last one for the day just left. But the guy who was checking up on things said it was his day off, but to give him a few minutes, and he would go get a car and take us around. That was so nice of him, and he gave us a great tour. And, we gave him a nice tip. We have run into so many nice, friendly people in that area. I think the tour was around 45 min to an hour.

I use the Waze app to map our stops, and it gives me the times. Of course that can change with the time of day and traffic. I find it hard to believe the 6 hours of drive time today, because that would mean averaging 74 mph. I can assure you that Susan only drives the speed limit after her encounter with Georgia State patrol last year.

Apparently a deal has been made. We will see the elf every day, if we take photos of Daryl everywhere. And Daryl was in Santa’s sleigh and Daryl likes to ride the luggage cart I told Susan we would get strange looks, taking that in the hotel. Shades of the guy we saw in the lobby in Southampton with the blow up doll. Susan said she didn’t even know what you could do with Daryl. Daryl. Hmmmmmm
