..And good news it is. Happy for both of you.

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

Really enjoying your post. Thanks for sharing your cruise experience.

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

@JazzyVHappy Birthday!🎂💐 @Cruzin TerriHappy Anniversary 🍾💐 Happy Yom Kippur to our Jewish friends

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

As far as OBC goes nothing. Just need a 100 shares. If you had a 1000 shares the OBC would be the same.

Good Morning! Slept late and woke up to a nice sunny 59. Little late as I needed some time on a Roll Call. Yesterday, we enjoyed an old New England classic of Boston Baked Beans, hot dogs and homemade Brown Bread. Delicious and I believe I will have a bean sandwich for lunch! I checked our World Cruise Itinerary as I thought we were going to visit Fremantle. Nope! So thanks for the pics. It’s the usual laundry day but sometime this week I need to get a haircut. One of my former troops called me and asked “Chief how’s retirement?” I replied “Listening to my hair growing!” Back on active duty it was common to maybe get a weekly or bi weekly haircut. So upon retirement some still maintained the style and other’s like me enjoyed the freedom to let it grow. So that inch of hair behind my neck is probably the longest ever. And that’s all I got to say about that!😎 Well DW aka the Colonel wants me to get going so with a crisp salute and Yes Ma’am I’m out of here. Have a great day and week. Thanks for the reports. Bruce aka Chief🇺🇸

Have a great time!

I’m very happy to proclaim I have never lost an earring! Just saying?😎

Lenda that might just be the longest post II have ever seen here on the Daily! 😁

Go buy a lottery ticket!👍

@Live4cruisesWill do!

We have done this repositioning cruise 4 times from Quebec and once from Fort Lauderdale North. Various ports of call but one of our favorite cruise itineraries! Hope to do it again some day. Enjoy!

@VMax1700 and if the line has enough money left to afford a dry dock!☹️

Thanks! This is our first ever river cruise and we are really looking forward to it. It’s a culinary theme cruise with celebrity chef on board. One of our excursions is we’re going to forage with dogs for truffles! We were scheduled on a Viking River cruise but that was cancelled due to the pandemic. We’re excited and really looking forward to this new adventure.

Bon Voyage!🛳🍾

Good morning! It’s another nice cool morning at 58 degrees. Yesterday brought back Hal memories of yore as we got to do our document dance! A large plastic wrapped parcel was delivered to our house from Scenic Luxury Cruise. Inside were two very high quality, super designed back packs and a nice document holder with our transfer passes, excursion tickets, medical forms for filling out prior to boarding , luggage tags and instruction booklets. Downloaded their app which is going to be very useful. I guess you get what you pay for. We had a couple from across the street over for dinner last night for a delicious dinner and enjoyable evening. We had a pork roast that we cooked on the rotisserie, mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts and finished with an Apple strudel that Sue made. Yummy! Need to start getting ready for church. We have been to Corfu and will look through my photo library later. Thanks for the report and all who post. Bruce

Thanks for the report. Keeping an eye on the Eurodam dry dock as we are booked for April 9 on Eurodam.

As folks still on board have been stating, you will have a small ceremony with some of the highest Mariners on board. I think there was around twenty of us plus Captain and a few officers when we attended a ceremony in August. Marty and Gail have been on board for a long time. Congratulations!

Good morning! Another beautiful day that’s starting out at 56 degrees F and will get to 80 later in the day. We really enjoyed our drive out to Gulf Shores National Park yesterday and a lovely lunch as well. With the stock market eroding our retirement funds so much we definitely have to practice being more frugal. Eye opening to see Carnival stock down to seven dollars a share! I celebrate being elderly every day cuz the alternative is not so good! There is another Octoberfest in town and we may drop in as money is being raised for hurricane aid but we have already contributed through our church. Probably will make the usual shopping run to the Commissary and no plans after that. Hard to believe it’s October already but we are also getting excited as we leave for France in eighteen days for our Scenic River Cruise which is by no means being frugal! Thanks Rich and Roy and all who make the Daily the addiction it has become! Bruce

Since when is a Fire Chief worried about rain and getting wet?😁
