Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. Condolences to @grapau27, Sarah, and family. Three interesting days to celebrate. When I think of fanny pack I tend to think in terms of ski patrol. The quote is interesting but I cannot really relate to it. Three diverse days in history. I'll celebrate the first and last more than the middle one. I was due to visit Reunion in March 2020 on Queen Mary 2 but you can probably guess how that turned out. The meal sounds interesting but not something I would find at the top of my list. My alternative is Classic Caesar Salad, Yankee Pot Roast, and Cherry Strudel as served on MS Prinsendam March 9, 2019. I don't think our weather is as wet as predicted but still glad I got all my errands run before 10 this morning and don't need to go outside again. Right now the rain sounds pretty significant on the bay window. Roy

Bon Voyage! Roy

No operator but at least we got a great round or toots. Thanks Dave (even the static camera was nice), Leanne, and fellow addicts. Roy

A strong toot. Roy

Definitely backing. Roy

There she is. Roy

Moving on AIS. Roy

Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann, and happy Friday now afternoon. I'll pass on the days except for International Women's Day. My middle name is actually my father's first name. I agree with the quote. I have not been to the Great Barrier Reef on a ship but did get there on a 2003 land trip. At that time I concluded that I was not cut out for snorkeling. A very diverse and interesting group of things that happened on March 8. The meal is interesting. My alternative is Chilled Pineapple Pina Colada, Pineapple Glazed Ham, and Postachio Ice Cream as served on MS Prinsendam March 8, 2019: A nice day today but rain expected almost all day tomorrow.

Thank you Rich, Jacqui, Vanessa, Debbie, Dixie, and Ann. Three great days to celebrate. The EE Cummings quote strikes me as a bit strange. I have been to Walvis Bay in Numibia but not to Luderitz. Two great days in history today but now about 99% of the phone calls I get are robocall hangups, and I rarely answer the phone unless there is a voicemail. I'll pass on the meal. My alternative is Chilled Blueberry Soup, Broiled New York Striploin, and Raspberry and Almond Tart as served on MS Prinsendam March 7, 2019: Had a decent walk but the ground is still pretty saturated from recent rains. Roy

Happy Birthday @RedneckBob. Roy

Speaking of laundry, HAL has very attractive options for those who are not yet 4-star. When you get to your cabin you will find a blue fabric bag with a drawstring and a price list. By the piece I think the prices are very reasonable but there are 2 other options. You can get unlimited for about $10 per day (and I think that's for the cabin, not per person), and you can also fill the bag and send it out for a flat fee, I think about $30. You can put anything washable in the bag (not just underwear) and and it holds probably 2-3 times as much as the paper bag Royal uses. They do a great job and you can send a bag out any day (including the first night) and turnaround is usually not over 30 hours, sometimes back the same day. Roy
