  1. Yes, but the outside mirrors are manual too! I usually don't realize they are not properly aligned until after I am driving down the road. I agree with the Blind Spot. Has helped out more than once. Another thing that helps is the auto brake system. We really didn't think about how long it was until we got it home to park it in the garage. When we pull in we slowly pull forward until it brakes. Gives a little more room to walk around the back.
  2. I was able to find an article talking about the suspended tree. Art from 1993. They say it is an orange tree. I guess it doesn't bear fruit. I haven't found a Pic showing oranges. The chairs look cool.
  3. Since retiring 5 years ago I drive my Ford Ranger very little. It sits outside so no way to charge it but the battery is still good. I drove it to my appointment yesterday in the rain. I had to turn the key to start it, turn on the headlights, the wipers didn't automatically turn on when rain hit the windshield, no way to heat the seats, I had to shift the gears and there was no back up camera. On the good side lane assist didn't beep and the truck didn't turn off at the stop light! Then I had to park, there was no surrounding cameras to help me park! A lot of difference in a basic 1996 truck and today's cars.
  4. When we got our car last year we didn't have much of a choice. We got the Highlander Platinum. I normally don't get extras I don't need, just one more thing to break. No battery problems yet. We have the auto stop. Hasn't caused any problems yet but we are not in an area where we have to stop often.
  5. We will be joining you this Sunday on Allure . Last October we had an OVB on Allure. Here is what was in our room. The phone charger was a little outdated 😂 This is the plugs on the desk. I used a plug-in behind the side of the bed to use my phone charger. So to answer your question, no, they have not upgraded their charging system.
  6. I have been having a hard time with taking statins. We are checking to see if insurance will cover a shot called Repatha.
  7. Happy Golden Dani! And Happy Birthday to your DH. Great pics. I showed my DD the pic of the suspended tree and she was confused. She was asking why. We both guessed art.
  8. Another difference is the specialty restaurants offered. Harmony has Jamie's, which we have had enough of, Allure has Giovanni's which we plan to eat at twice next week. Harmony has Wonderland which we enjoyed. Allure has Samba Grill which is good. With that said you should enjoy them both. I do miss the water slides when on the Allure.
  9. You saying that made me just realize that is something else I haven't been eating, chips. I love making my own chip dip. I also rarely order fries anymore. It all wasn't really a planned thing.
  10. Speaking of losing weight, I just had my annual check up and I have lost 20 pounds since my last visit. I think it is from eating a lot less ice-cream. I wasn't really trying to lose but thankful I did.
  11. I have never measured the opening but I would say at least 1 1/2 feet. The crew open them all up to walk through when they are cleaning.
  12. I am looking forward to being served cold water Lobster. Last night Sharon said by night 6 she usually isn't that hungry and would just eat appetizers. I don't want her to give up the main course for me. I plan to report on the options . I think others want to know too.
  13. How will we meet up? I thought that you would organize a 🎈 balloon 💧 drop and 🎉 poppers when we walked on! 😂 @molly361 Ellen made me find her when we were on Harmony together. Our boarding time is 10am and we plan to board as soon as we can. If we were cruising out of anywhere but Galveston you would know it's us when you heard someone saying y'all. If we can't meet at boarding we can post here or on the Live. After boarding we will be making dinner reservations and do the muster. And then I will soon need to get my traditional ice-cream cone by the pool! 😂 The Live sounds great. Perfect time. I usually don't start one until we are on our way so start whenever you want. We "plan" to fly out early Saturday. I think it was @John&LaLathat suggested putting an emoji at the start of the title to make it easy to spot. Like.... 🛳 Live from Allure 1/22 to 1/29. Might want to post the itinerary. Some current things people want to know is the new menus, how the new free chat works and some how Starlink is working. I want to know if you can order 2 main meals on Lobster night. Sharon doesn't eat Lobster so she wants to order 2 mains so she can give me an extra tail. Our friends here just want to know we are having a fun cruise.... Oh, and pics of our feet. Thanks for wanting to start the live and looking forward to meeting you!
  14. I just mirrored this to my TV and it was great. Our TV has Dolby Atmos. Depending on what we are watching it gives a surround sound without extra speakers. Also when it talks about true black on this video you see it on the Oled. When there is true black the pixels turn off. No backlight at all.
  15. Those that have taken the class, did you learn enough to be able to make sushi when you got home?
  16. Thanks. I hope all I have to do is reboot after the replacement. I am reading it is that easy with RAID 5. We'll see. I'll replace it with another WD Red 3tb. I am seeing one for $58. I don't remember how much it was 10 years ago but I believe it was much more than that. I was considering getting a newer Nas for reliability then realized if this one falls I can just pull the disk and will be good. One nice thing I like about a Nas is that I can access it away from home.
  17. We have been loading our pics from our phones to our NAS to make room on our phones before we cruise this weekend. So glad I set it up RAID 1. It has two 3 tb drives. When we save a pic on the nas the pic is copied on both drives. Last night the nas started beeping and flashing while Sharon was loading pics. I of the drives failed! I will need to replace the drive when I get home. Since I have never had to replace a drive on it yet, I hope it is easy. I did not realize the nas is 10 years old already.
  18. I didn't say you did either. But if you do a mock one week out it would be more accurate. The OP's cruise is less than a week out. He is cruising this coming Sunday.
