So nice to finally put faces to names. 😉 Had one more nice breakfast in CO dining, then went back to the cabin to gather our things and disembark the ship. Hotel shuttle came right away (13 min). We packed the truck and we’re on the road by 9:30am. Should be about 6 hours with gas and other breaks.

Well, all good things must come to an end. We missed HMC yesterday because of the weather but DM and I weren’t planning on getting off the ship. DS and her DH had a shorex that was refunded. Our port fees were returned. The plan is to have breakfast in the CO dining room, then find our luggage, take the hotel shuttle back to get the truck, pack everything into the truck, and drive to Jacksonville. I’m continuing my vacation by spending a few days with my DM, DS, and her DH at their house. DM and I will fly to CA early Wed morning. Haven’t had time to read the FR & D. Hope everyone is doing well. I hope to catch up by Christmas. Take care!

I’m so sorry. 🙏

Fair winds and following seas. 🙂

Bon Voyage! 🙂

Checking in. 😉 Dinner twice in Club Orange dining room. Went to the M&G yesterday. Been to the Thermal Suite yesterday and today. DM loves it. Drove a 6-seater golf cart at Grand Turk (HAL shorex) today. Note for those with motion sickness: With the 4-seaters 2 of you are riding backwards. We got the 6-seater so we could put DM’s folding WC in the golf cart with us. Haven’t made it to the Dutch Cafe. Tonight is dinner in the Tamarind. TV froze last night; would not come off the shorex station. Put in a request this morning via the app. When we came back onboard it was fixed. All aboard was at 2:30pm. Just heard an announcement IN THE CABIN for 4 people (2 cabins). Sounds like the same family. Hope it’s just a glitch with the scanner.

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! 😘
