Thanks Mic. Good start, let's hope they hang on for the win. Sounds like a better game than last week. Only game we get this week is Cats--'Roos. I have been watching the lovely rain on the Sydney harbor cam and for about 10 minutes we got to see some pretty cockatoo's on camera. They sat on a ledge and enjoyed the rain, then flew away. One was tagged.

Is that the usual time period--2 years/24 months? I am not as familiar with X schedule release as some others. So, based on that, more like 18 months? Even knowing that or maybe the usual 2 years would be helpful. I wouldn't have to check until October. Thanks everyone.

Celebrity Vacation Planner?? Just a guess. Someone who knows can correct me.

Yeah, I don't feel good about relying on X either. Thanks for your advice.

Hi all We are going to book a Canada/NE cruise on X for October 2024. Right now, their schedule goes thru April 2024. I have been checking weekly for the schedule opening into October but it's getting tiring, so I'm wondering if there is a way to set up an automatic notification? I looked around on the X site but can't find anything. There must be a way--surely X doesn't expect us to check all the time? Right? They wouldn't do that to us 😁 Thanks.

Thanks for posting the scores Docker. I woke up in time to catch the 2 and 3 Q, then fell asleep again. Happy for the win but the Swans looked off. Lots of missed/dropped passes and Buddy missed a goal by about 1 yard (well, maybe a bit more than that). Still, they looked a lot better than St Kilda! Hard to believe they are on the ladder--maybe just an off game? Go Swans!

So very true. I weep for our country.

Good news--Swans--St Kilda are on tonight. Bad news--it will be at 3 am!! I will hope to wake up and catch part of it but I'm not optimistic Thanks in advance for anyone posting the score. BTW, now that the US has declared war on women, anyone want to sponsor me for citizenship in Australia?? Go Swans!

Hi mates Well, it's spring and I believe another AFL season is about to be sprung (at least that's what I hear from possum52 a very credible source) 😁 I haven't been paying a lot of attention to CC these past 2 years but now I see a glimmer of light on the horizon. I know it's been a tough few years Down Under--fires, covid, recent floods. I am wondering if you have locusts?? If so, you may want to keep an eye out 😉 So, what are your predictions for AFL this season? Who are the favorites? Any good rumors out there, whether or not they have passed rumor control? I'll start--Swans make the playoffs but finish 2nd to...the Lions. Hope everyone is well and you all have cruises in your near future, although I guess Australia hasn't quite opened cruising up yet.

Hi all We just added a TA for after our Italy-Med cruise in November. We get off 1 ship on Nov 14 and board the TA to Ft Lauderdale on Nov 17. We will have already spent a week in Rome and could go back there but we are thinking it might be OK to stay at Civi. What do you experienced folks think? Any hotel recommendations for Civi? I have read there isn't much to do there and I'm not sure about the quality of hotels. We are thinking of taking a private tour of areas outside Rome after we get off the first ship (Island Princess), then just spending 3 nights in Civi. That might be a little long so I am looking for other options. There is a train station there--could we use that for a couple of fun day trips? We have no problem going back to Rome if that is the best choice. Thanks for any help, Mary Lynn
