Prayers 🙏 sent for his family and friends. 😢

Too excited to sleep. Watched my ship (NS) come in.

Thank you for taking us with you. Safe travels home! Now it’s our turn. 😉

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Flight was great. We left 8 minutes late but arrived 27 min early. I took advantage of my First Class upgrade and had Bailey’s on the rocks at 7am (it’s 5 o’clock somewhere! 😉). Breakfast was a 3-cheese omelette or a charcuterie board. My sis and her DH had arrived just before we touched down so sis was able to help me with my luggage. Hotel room is huge! We had stayed at a Hyatt Place in Miami this past Feb and it had 2 double beds plus a L-shaped sofa with a bed in it. So we chose the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port & Convention Center. This is the same setup PLUS a nice desk/work area and a wet bar. Sis had heard that Kelly’s Landing was pretty good so we went there for dinner. Good thing we went early as at 5pm there was already a line to get in. And yes, it was good. 😋 We arranged for the hotel shuttle to take us to the cruise port at 11am. We have the first boarding time at 1pm Group A, as the NS is going through various inspections and immigration for the crew. So we plan to have a nice leisurely breakfast at the hotel then take our time checking out and boarding our BHB.

At the airport gate. Left the house on time (3am) but had to return after 12 min, I forgot my watch and ring. No traffic until we got to the airport but it wasn’t too bad. I actually got everything done last night and went to bed at a decent hour so I slept in my bed instead of the recliner. (If I go to bed after DH I’ll sleep in the living room so I don’t disturb him.) I’ll try to check in later.

Good morning Dailyites! Thank you for the HAL fleet report and all the daily information. Clothes are packed, just need to pack all the rest. I checked in with the airlines and the boarding pass is in my wallet. Need to go to the post office, a quick run to the grocery store (see PSA below), and make dinner (so DH has some leftovers). Flight leaves ~6am so we need to leave the house at 3am. But it’s nonstop (and I upgraded myself to first class). Called the hotel yesterday to confirm my reservation. I’ll try to keep up with the FR & D but y’all know how cruise internet is. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Stay safe and healthy everyone. PSA for AirTag users: When you change your (CR2032) batteries, do NOT get the ones with child-proof coating.

Good morning, last day of work (getting up in a bit). I haven’t started packing. I’m really excited about this trip so I’m not sure why. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Went grocery shopping yesterday for a few things so DH won’t starve. I’ll also make a couple dinners so he’ll have some leftovers. Oops, there goes the alarm. Have a great day y’all. 🙂

As long as you keep posting your funny memes. 😉

What a sweetheart! 🥰 Congrats to all!

It’s worse than that: You posted on The Fleet Report and Daily for Monday November 28th, 2022! 😆

Bon Voyage!

Thanks to all. Bon Voyage to everyone! 🙂

Thanks @Haljo1935 for posting these Dailys. All: I see that Tamarind had a special Rijsttafel dinner (Dec 3). Did anyone have this?

Good morning. Christmas cards for work were distributed and mailed yesterday. Family and friends cards will be mailed this week. Yesterday was my last day in the office. I’ll work from home through Thurs. I took Fri off to get all the last minute things done before vacation. Hair appt today, nails on Thurs. And I still need to pack. I thought I would need to leave the house at 2:30am to go to the airport but since it’s Sat I think 3am will be fine. Which makes DH happy but he’ll still prob be too tired to go for his Sat morning bike ride. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Prayers for everyone who needs them. Cheers for all the celebrations. Stay safe and healthy everyone. 🙂

Sheesh. 😳 What is wrong with people? 😡

@Haljo1935 Ques about the Thermal Suite: Does it have a “lift” to get a wheelchair user into the thermal pool/hot tub? TIA! 😘

When I hear the William Tell Overture I think of Anita Renfroe’s Mom Song.

Good morning Daily family. The Harvest Festival yesterday with DD was nice. We both just got a couple items. And DD found $5 in the parking lot! I’ve got to get my act together. I need to finish the cards/treats for the office. I only go in on Monday, the rest of the week is work at home. And I’m volunteering at church this weekend. And I need to start packing for my trip. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Stay safe and healthy!

😳😡 Uh oh, I hope they get their groove back soon. 🤞

Bruno @atexsix Hope you and your dad doing OK.

Good morning Dailyites! Thank you for the HAL fleet report and all the daily information. Work today, then off tomorrow to go the the Harvest Festival (craft show) with DD and DGD. Volunteering at church this weekend then only 4 more days of work before my vacation. Lots to get done before I leave. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

@lazey1 Here’s the link to the form others have mentioned: https://book.hollandamerica.com/specialServices/login.action

Nieuw Statendam Dec 10 cruise (1st Caribbean cruise after TA) has been sold out for a while. A cruise for the NA was cancelled (I think so she could go into dry dock) and a lot of folks switched to the NS.
