Not quite. Should be soon 🤞

Thanks for the Hump Day Daily, Rich. I like the combination of days and the quote. That expresso martini sounds good. I think I am going to need one at the end of this 😉 And it really is a Hump Day - like get over the hump to get home 😂 I think 1/2 of the last 24 hours will have been spent at the airport and (with luck) finally in the air. And, I am getting creative. My boarding pass didn’t open the priority security gate for me so I used last night’s and “open sesame’. No way was getting in that 2 mile line up unless I had to. OMG. As one lady said to me - if you have time to spare - go by air. I thought that was the best I have heard so far (but remember I am sleep deprived). With covid, if you want to order in the lounge you need to scan to your phone. Same for the elevator to get to the lounge. Well, we all know kazu doesn’t have one on her - I’ve had two gentlemen come to my rescue so far (without asking). Canadians truly can be very nice and kind ♥️ Now to hope for my flight, that it’s on time and the little bag I checked last night gets on this plane. that’s an awful lot to hope for isn’t it? Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and a 🥂 to those on the celebratory / shout out list. Stay safe & have a good day or make the best out of the one you have.

I think you have it Roy. I’ll be shocked if it leaves on time. But you need to be here very early to get through the security kerfluffle.

You think 3 hours will do? I have to be there 3 hours before for the flight i know has been delayed 2 hours every day so far 😡 Same plane I needed go get here and of course, I am so tired now it will be tough to sleep. Hotel is decent though. It is just too much.

That’s not a normal time for arrival at our Mickey Mouse airport and it is pretty much shut down. Hopefully I can get a cab at at that time. Guess I will find out. The picture is getting greyer and greyer and I am betting the flight gets cancelled. I guess, we’ll see. I have enough in my carry on to get me through the night. I am not imposing on my friends at 11 pm to come get me.They have done more than enough. We’ll see I guess.

I like 👍 👍 I’m sitting at Pearson. Flight has been changed twice since I got here. Now I get on at 2 AM. I am betting dollars to donuts it doesn’t go. Story tomorrow at 11. It gets more and more interesting - LOL

Hope your flight goes ok, Ann 🤞 My flight here was changed twice and then delayed twice but it went 👍 A/C said it was a crew problem (and gave the example of crew working too many hours). I did get tomorrow’s morning flight booked if need be to be on the safe side. I won’t do check in until I know if this flight goes or not. It’s flex air so I can cancel. Tonight is bad enough so……hopefully

Happy to add it for you, Gretchen 🙂

Thanks for our Tuesday Daily, Rich. I’m sure aware of insurance these days 😉 and will happily celebrate columnists. Interesting quote. I’m not sure what’s on the menu for me tonight. Will probably depend on what they have at the airport IF this flight is not cancelled. Yup yesterday’s flight was cancelled, no replacement so I am still in Ontario. My poor plants. I knew they should be ok until this morning but not sure about tomorrow 😡 Stressed to the nine’s last night as I tried reaching the airline. Trying to book a back up flight for early tomorrow morning in case this one is cancelled again. But, the website is down. Sheesh. @mamaofamivery glad to hear Sam is getting out 👍 Good luck with your test 🍀 To try to put a bit of cheer in my post - here is some food porn from Sunday night. We had a charcuterie board and sushi which I forgot to take a pic of and then salad with pecans (very good) Jane and I did the skewers and John cooked a fantastic tenderloin. Delicious bread and baked potato with all the toppings. Then of course, we had a birthday cake for my sister. She showed us a covid trick she had learned from a nurse friend. Clap your hands to put the candles out rather than blowing them out. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and a 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Hope everyone’s day is much better than mine 🤞

Thanks kindly for the prompt reply, Barb 👍 Will do - enjoy 🙂 Lovely 🙂. Happy to add them al for you 🙂

And you got it right as usual 😃 Just dropping in for a second as my hosts are beat, What a fantastic job they did. Always two syllables for dogs with vowels. That’s a perfect name for commands later and God Bless you for saving Monty. ♥️ May you have many happy years together 💜

They know you have the package from your key card 😉

Since an upsell is not published fare (the fare you see on the website), to me, it is clear upsells do not count for the Mariner double point credit 😉

Completely agree - prices have really gone up so one has to plan based on what they have. I have flown out of Schipol B.C. (Before covid) and there was a huge difference if you were biz class. Their lounges are lovely too 😉 Biz class does have a separate line. i realize things are a mess right now, but with the easing of covid testing I think (hope) that will make a huge difference for you - especially being biz class. I sure hope it does for me tomorrow at Pearson (which is also a mess) 😉

Happy to add it for you but…. If you want B2B Bon Voyages, I need the dates and name of the cruises please. Otherwise I will just pick the 1st itinerary and show it as B2B2B 😉 Thanks 🙂

Let me guess - what I brought from the East Coast? Atlantic Lobster? We feasted on it last night 😉

Oops, I forgot. A very happy birthday to Carol @mamaofami

Thank for our Daily, Rich and a happy Sunday to all of you from Brampton, Ontario. I am just sitting outside in my little Oasis (I rise earlier than my hosts). I slept in late yesterday even with the time change - probably a bit stressed and emotional? These two are the views from where I am sitting. Jane’s climbing rose bush is gorgeous It’s much hotter here and they are calling for T-storms today when we are expecting guests. No matter - we’ll be outside and well protected 😉 They are like me - like to be outside - more room than in the house and much prettier 😉 For Captain DD fans - here is a pic of when we got our silver medals on the Prinsendam. Jane & John and I were on our first cruise together and have stayed friends all these years ♥️ Our captain was very kind doing our pics individually as usual and then called us back up for a special picture of the 4 of us (still in the folder) and one of Jane & I. My good friends Georgina and Gerry are coming today. Georgina & I at the Meet & Greet: Along with my sister and her husband. If it doesn’t rain there might be some swimming or hot tub involved. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Sunday all. I’ll probably be catching up at the airport tomorrow (assuming the flight goes 🤞)

Two wonderful and very different itineraries both with promises of lovely scenery and sights. Whichever one our CC friends have chosen we hope they enjoy every moment in their ports and on board their BHB’s and of course, we wish them fair winds and smooth seas. Bon Voyage to Oosterdam - 14 day Aegean Sunsets & Adriatic Gems: ski ww Bon Voyage to Zaandam - 7 day Canada & New England: Crazy For Cats - B2B following June 25th Bon Voyage everyone !!!!!! Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!!

Oh so sorry I missed this yesterday. A very happy belated birthday to you, Colin

Don’t you dare cancel - we’ll have fun and with luck the entertainment will be much better. That’s been my experience in the past on TA’s and hope it will be the same on this one 🤞 🙏🏻

Happy to add it for you 🙂. Enjoy - it should be a great itinerary.

Not new - Europe announced they were doing this and frankly, I don’t blame them. The application form should be out this summer and I signed up for email notification. It’s not a hefty fee IMO - take look at airport tax to fly 😉

Flight isn’t here yet - another delay - hope it works out. Ann, I think you know them 😉 Georgina & Gerry and John and Jane.

Greetings everyone from the Saint John Airport. My flight has changed 2 times so far. But the plane did leave Toronto so I should be ok 🤞 A little humour on seating in flights one of my roll call members sent to me Now I have that funny feeling I left something amiss at the house 😂. Guess I am not used to travelling by myself. DH always did the checks. I am always amazed and what people try to bring for carry on luggage. Pearson is a risk but jam and cooked lobster can’t go in carry on so I knew I had to check my normal ‘carry on’ piece. Amazingly enough I was the only one with the bag not opened and inspected. No idea why. Our airport has a new check in system (remember I haven’t travelled since 2019) so maybe the X-Ray gadget is better? I was prepared for a fight on the lobster. They are very specific on how it has to packed. No waxed cardboard I could find. They are wrapped in two ziplock bags, a then a compost bag (I KNOW they don’t leak since I use them for lobster shells) then another ziplock bag & in an insulated freezer bag. My note (and tip) to Fed Ex worked. My neighbour just messaged me to say she had my new Iphone. if it would have only come an hour earlier, I’d have it. Oh well. It’s a relief to know it’s in good hands. Going to see if I can catch up now that I am here. My friends are not normally early risers and if that is still the case, I’ll be on here early in the morning. Not sure what the days hold - but I will definitely drop in if possible. In memory of dear DH - in the Canaletto on the EE where they made us a rose and he was about to present it to me. Happy Anniversary, beloved 💔 Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
