Hope you have a wonderful holiday Egon! We're all still praying for your full recovery. Hope it warms your heart to know how many people are pulling for you.

Here-here

:d:d:d

Thank you, great to hear.

We are on vacation this week, but will definitely keep Egon in our thoughts.

Sorry to hear that Pat.

Great news Pat.

From my experience on Princess he should have a ball.

Food for thought, I have been in the service industry myself and I was thinking that we are only hearing one side of the story. I am not saying he hasn't been justified in many of his complaints, just that some times things just can't be helped or appear to be something they are not.

Love these updates, thank you.

Thank you for the update, a nice way to start the day.

I am 45 and age has never been an issue for me, except for the mile stone moments of being old enough to drive and being old enough to buy a beer legally, which was 18 for me. Although I must admit that I was buying well before 18. :)

I had a funny moment with my wife this week (who is two years older than me), I made the comment that after our birthdays this year it will only be a year for her and two for me for the big 50. She looked at me strange and said how old are you? I said I am 47. She said, no Mike I'm 47 you are only 45.

We had a good laugh over that one.

So now I have been telling several people at my new job that I was 47 and they are going to be surprised that I actually found the fountain of youth and went back two years.

I have met way too many cool people in my life that were at an age most figured that the highlight of their life was watching the price is right. But they all lived life with a true love for LIVING.

I truly believe you are what you think about. Think and be as positive as you can.

I agree such a very nice post and Red State, good for you!

Thank you for the update.

Thank you.

As I don't have a cruise booked, nor plan to do one for a few years (I have other travel planned), this is the only thread that I follow on CC.

Thank you for all of your work.

Hi all!

 

Thanks to you both for keeping us informed of Egon's amazing adventure. Hope his new itinerary will be covered too. Boy that year passed by quickly!

Take care .

Exactly.

Thank you Yellobird.

I agree with you Belle and I say that not for my own selfish reasons, but the fact that I think he is at an age and personality that he would stop if he didn't want to do it.

Thank you.

Sorry Pat, you are in our thoughts.

He sure has good taste in women.

I just won the Intercontinental San Juan for $115, for 1/7/12.

4 * and zone 8.

Just started the Priceline game for 7/8/12. It looks like I won't be able to get a 4* for $86. :D

Thank you!

Sorry Pat.

Wow what a story! Thank you to all who are helping to keep it going.

Years ago on our first cruise:

Before we left for our trip we had just heard in the news about a couple that found out that they had been video taped in a resort "enjoying the moment" in their room and the video was put in too a porn movie. They found out when they saw themselves being the stars of the movie.

So when we get to our room on the Celebrity Mercury I look up at the T.V. and see this funny looking little box kind of hidden on top. Hmmm, looks like it has some type of camera lens. So I walk over and notice that it is attached by Velcro and just pick it up and turn it backwards. Fricking genius!

The next day I tell our room steward that our remote control does not work for the T.V. :)

Later that same day we come back to the room and "Tony" says, Mr. Mike, we not trying to take pictures of you and your wife, that box is for the remote. :o

Next cruise:

We are on the Millennium and decide to go to the specialty restaurant. The couple we traveled with were not the "specialty restaurant" type people. Great people, just more salt of the earth. We all had a great time and enjoyed the "upper class" feel, but more importantly how the staff could cater to each table depending on the experience they wanted.

Well Terry the husband, decides that since he is paying extra he really wants to get vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce for desert. It was so simple that the staff didn't know what to do! After joking around with them for a few minutes one of the waiters says no problem.

Several minutes later they come back with a serving platter of ice cream. They used a melon baller to make this HUGE pyramid of balls if ice cream and a cream pitcher full of hot chocolate. It must have taken the whole staff to get this feat done since there were four of them that served it. All of the other tables were staring at this HUGE desert and all of the staff stood next to our table smiling so proud.

I counted to ten and then said very loudly: "Terry, you've got a lot of balls"!
