  1. Rich it was a rough start but hopefully smooth sailing from here on out. Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Congratulation on Georgia’s win and say hello to the gang for me.
  2. Good morning! Up early for some reason. Body just said it had enough sleep. Will be less rushed in preparing for church. Last night’s homemade French Onion soup really hit the spot and tonight we’ll try and believe we are on the NS repo from Canada and enjoy two lobsters. Hopefully, our pre order works! Last couple of nights we have been watching some old classic movies and it is enjoyable going back now and then. Is it fair to say they don’t make them like they used too? With only nine days before we head to France it is time to turn one of the spare bedrooms into packing central. Shouldn’t be to difficult with just a twelve day river cruise but we will need to think layers for cooler weather. Not much planned for today other then church and probably some NASCAR racing. Just waiting for those lobsters.🦞🦞 Thanks Rich and Roy for the Fleet & Care Reports. Have a great day everyone. Bruce
  3. Thanks for sharing your Grand cruise with us. Bon Voyage!
  4. When I enlarged the screen I can just barely make out the NS stack. Right after large white building and below Chateau Frontenac. So one should be able to watch sail away with this cam.
  5. Good Saturday morning to all. Little warmer this morning but a cold front is on it’s way.Tonight we are making French Onion soup which is always a treat. Cooking the onions overnight in the crockpot really makes an easy task of it. A Commissary run today and other then that maybe watch some NASCAR racing. A big Bon Voyage to all who are starting their cruises today. Roy I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your daily Care List. Don’t make it a job and beat yourself. Have a great day everyone and continued thoughts for those still recovering from Ian. Bruce
  6. Here’s a link to Quebec port web cam. Not sure if this is current or the NS is not in sight. https://www.portquebec.ca/en/about/webcam/view-on-the-river
  7. Relieved to hear you have had a good diagnosis and are responding well to treatment. It was a long time ago that we met and enjoyed some excursions on that Maasdam Canada repo. Patrick’s tour in Bora Bora was fantastic. Take care. Bruce
  8. Glad you made it safely and enjoy your dinner and visit with Daily friends.
  9. Good morning. Well I have no need to celebrate bald day but I’m waiting for Receding Day which I will proudly celebrate. Walked to school for 14 years through wind, rain and lots of snow. This morning the irrigation specialist will be installing a new control box. He was amazed it was still operating since we bought the house new in 1995. They don’t build them like they used to! Thanks Rich for the fleet report and to all who contribute. Need to finish my coffee and get my walk in before repairman arrives. Have a great day and enjoy your upcoming cruises. Bruce
  10. Good morning! Just turning light and it’s 57 degrees with a forecasted high of 85. Pretty much tied to the house this morning as an lawn irrigation repair person is coming out to check our system. Think we need a new control box as it has a mind of it’s own lately. I’m having to run the system manually but with our travels it needs to run properly on automatic. Tonight is small group bible study so I need a little more preparation for that. With so many of our Daily cruisers headed for Canada we started longing for Maine or Canadian lobsters. So ordered two from Publix and we will pick up Sunday afternoon and enjoy these tasty crustaceans. Will be interesting to see what the recipe of the day is. Thanks to all and have a great and meaningful day. Bruce
  11. @Sharon in AZQuebec City gives me many memorable visits since my youth. Having a cocktail in the Château Frontenac and people watching is always a memorable event, in my adult years. Though I probably enjoyed a coke when my parents took me to Quebec City and we stayed at the Château Frontenac. Having done this repositioning cruise several times I’m sure it will be a favorite! Enjoy the lobster and fried belly whole clams!😁
  12. As I said before a great couple. We got together with them after we went on one of our favorite excursions. We rode on the mail truck along the postman’s route. Got the history of the residents, beautiful scenery and a beautiful picnic spot and delicious scones with spot of tea cooked by the postman’s wife that morning. Unfortunately, right in the middle of the excursion I was starting to come down with the crud. The Oosterdam had a bug spreading around that kept the clinic open to 11:00 PM. Throughout the ship it sounded like a tuberculosis ward. They actually ran out of cough medicine. It was then we found out that our visit to Milford Sound was cancelled due to a large storm coming from Antarctica. Crossing the Tasmanian Sea aka the Ditch was one of the roughest nights at sea we have ever experienced. Once during the night I was tossed out of bed!😱 Kia Ora! Bruce
  13. Really enjoying your post. Thanks for sharing your cruise experience.
  14. Good morning! @cunnorl Have a safe and fun trip. We had the pleasure of meeting the @erewhon and what a nice couple they are. I’m going to pass on the pizza. I like kale and sweet potatoes but I’m a traditionalist when it comes to pizza. We received our third boosters yesterday and other then another sore arm no problems. Probably a little more tired then normal last night and we fixed that by going to bed earlier. Rich I do hope your day of travel goes well and that your airborne and headed for another great cruise. Need to refill some prescriptions, get a haircut and I told my dear wife I would take her out to dinner. The manual labor was yesterday as I had to trim some shrubbery that was beginning to grow out of control. Seems like we just attended church and here it’s Hump Day already! Roy thanks for you care list and to all who make the Daily a fun part of our lives. Bruce
  15. @JazzyVHappy Birthday!🎂💐 @Cruzin TerriHappy Anniversary 🍾💐 Happy Yom Kippur to our Jewish friends
  16. Good morning! We have an appointment this morning to get our third booster shot so another sore arm is in the forecast. It’s a little warmer with present temp 61 F with a high today of 81F. Great weather but we really need some rain. Rich thanks for the Fleet report and enjoy your cruise. Other then booster shots not much on the agenda. Really should be still sleeping but one of those morning it was time to get up. Have a great day everyone and thanks for your contributions to the Daily. I’m kind of drawing a blank this morning! Bruce
