    Johnny would tell you I have the same problem...
    I now keep them in a Ziploc bag in the Jeep Console...
    Sometimes we remember to actually use them 🙂

    I’m the worst at using non-cruise gift cards. I just pulled these out of my drawer at work. I have more in the console in my car. And more at home.

    Would you like to meet up for a break?
    Perhaps a coffee or lunch?

    Thanks for the well wishes, hugs back to you!

     

    We are still in Anchorage, at Providence Hospital. I anticipate him being released to St. Elias Rehab facility here in town sometime this week for an intensive stint in physical therapy. My guess is we will be here another 10-14 days.

    Merry Christmas Tribe, from Anchorage, Alaska. We are on day 40 of my father's hospitalization, having spent 24 days at the Central Peninsula Hospital with Infective Endocarditis, before being flown to Anchorage for open heart surgery two weeks ago. He is continuing to battle some unknown additional infection, possibly pneumonia, or ??? We are awaiting results of yet again another blood draw. He has ZERO immunity and will probably need to undergo a bone marrow biopsy in the next day or two. Hopefully something will be revealed soon.

     

    In the "I Can't Make This $%&@ Up", my mother and I were woken around 3am in the on-hospital grounds "hotel", to a woman in the next room over having the everloving crap being beat out of her by her boyfriend. Peeking through the peephole, I saw her escape her room into the hallway outside my door. Not being able to see where her assailant was, and with my 81 year old mother in the room, I felt I couldn't drag her into my room, but had to just wait for the police to show up. He was shackled and taken away in the back seat of a cruiser. She was carried out on a gurney, covered in blood. She must not have suffered too many injuries; the front office said they moved her to another room and the bf has been banned. 

     

    Definitely a Christmas to remember 😥

    So sorry to hear of the loss of your sister.

    Losing a Sibling is heartbreaking.  
    My heart  goes out to you.

    Condolences on the loss of your father.  
    Even when it’s anticipated - it’s still a shock & the grief catches you by surprise.

    Do you really live in Talkeetna?
    We had a great stay there driving a rental RV from Anchorage to Denali. Did the long ride in the air boat - great fun!

    Is that Thai restaurant still open on the road into Talkeetna? Had one of the best drunken noodles there, so good we stopped on our way back south to get it again. Really cool owner/chef/cook!

     

    @ColdCruise

    We truly live in Talkeetna - well really 4 miles out off The Spur...

    Are you talking about Payo's or My Mom's Thai?

     

    Payo's also had a small campground behind it.

    Husband & Wife ran it - Payo (Wife) was the Chef.

    They retired & moved south for the warmth...

    The property sold - but Payo's was closed.

    This summer another small Food Truck opened - but not Thai Food.

     

    My Mom's Thai used to be w/in a group of builidings.

    They've moved out to the "Y" - the junction of The Park's Hwy & Talkeetna Spur Rd.
     

    Both had good food!

    Loved Stir Fried Rice @ Payo's - would purchase extra at the end of the summers to freeze & enjoy later @ leisure.

     

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Talkeetna - Alaska kind of grabs you & Talkeetna grabbed Johnny & I...  Our Funky Little Town @ the end of the road 🙂  
    Cheers  --  Von & John

    Thanks for a fabulous review & finish!!!

    It's been a few years since we've been to Barcelona & we truly enjoyed reliving through your eyes...

    The cruise was amazing - during our transatlantic in 2019 we missed the Azores due to weather, we circled a couple of times & then continued across the ocean.
    You are a great story teller you intermingle the facts & photos w/ the side notes, snarkiness, jokes & sarcasm...
    Love it!

    Happy Holidays from Talkeetna!

    Cheers  --  Von & John
