It was very cool! The volcano was very active when we were there

I think Serenade was giving out raffle tickets. New cruisers would probably disappointed, but we don't need any more RC stuff.

My apologies, it seems to be difficult to edit photos and get proper spacing on a desktop sometimes.

We swam with the manatees at Chankanaab. They are so cute. They hug you while you feed them lettuce. It is kind of like feeding a garbage disposal. And then they ignore you when the food is gone. We purchased directly with the park. But anyway, it was pretty inexpensive. As I recall, $30 or so, which included admission to the park. I think it was $19 each way for a cab there. The beach is nice. There is a restaurant. Drinks are reasonable and the snorkeling is supposed to be good. There are no vendors, but there is a push to buy photos. The large crowds from the ships were there for the dolphin swim. Chankanaab is really about the animal encounters. If you are just looking for a beach day, Playa Mia would probably be better. 😊

Our next door neighbors were locked out on their balcony by their room steward. They were napping, and I guess he didn't see them. I was reading on our balcony when they started yelling for help. Fortunately, one of them had their room card in a pocket. So they just handed it around the barrier and I went and let them in. I guess it could have been worse if no one was around.

I purchased 3 Albuterol inhalers $25 last time we were in Cozumel. Just saying. 😚 The previous one I was prescribed had lasted for 5 years. In this C age it is nice to have something available, if needed. No chastising needed. ☺️ And this may or may not apply to Debbie. The doctor told me to cut a small mouthpiece sized hole into the bottom of a small plastic water bottle. Press the inhaler into it and then inhale very deeply out the opening. More medication gets further into your lungs instead of your mouth. (With Bronchitis)

Excellent! It is just fun to watch the Derby. Safe travels, to wherever you are cruising now, Pat. ☺️

And once again. You all have no bunions. 😐The pineapple picture is very funny.

I don't usually watch much television. But tomorrow is a big TV day! I have set up the DVR to record the coronation. This is a really historic event and nothing we have seen in our lifetime. I guess I am a Royal watcher. I am excited to watch it, and I can skip through the boring bits. ☺️ It starts at 2 AM here. And then I set a Google reminder for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow. Seven and a half hours of coverage? That is a bit much. Timer is set for 3:30 PM to actually watch the race, which is at 3:57 PT and 6:57 ET. I do enjoy the race every year. ☺️

I still remember the first day I received mine in the mail, and I left it on the kitchen table so my dad could see it....And he swept it up unintentionally with newspaper and papers and threw it away. 🙄 And then I made 2 trips to the DMV, because I had to have a signed consent form to have it replaced. ☺️

I stink at geography, but maybe Central America for the Canal.

Excellent! 👍🤙

Was it sunny, so you could see the crater?

You both look fabulous! This photo cracks me up. It looks like Eva in WALL-E. ☺️

They made the Rita's on Serenade into a proper bar. But unfortunately, it closes at the same time as Windjammer. It is nice to sit back there! ☺️

I couldn't live on an island. Maui is gorgeous, but there is only one main road that goes everywhere on Maui! You can't just drive to other places, or other states. It is beautiful, but I couldn't do it. It is too confining. And I thought that back in college.

Ooops. It might be Landry's, not Darden. My apologies. Or it is not listed yet anyway. I don't think we have a Ruth Chris locally. I got too excited.

Oh Yeah! AARP discount! 😃

I spent 3 weeks in Maui in college in a tropical marine biology class. We went all over the island on field trips and a few of us into town just about every night. And we have also been back twice on cruises, so I am guessing they still use the same place. Kimo's in Lahaina is a favorite restaurant. The college group I was traveling with were Seventh Day Adventists from Seattle Pacific University. Although "wiki" said they were Free Methodists. (Think "Footloose, anyway) The instructors introduced me as the black sheep from California. 🙄 But I did find a couple of guy students who accompanied me on our visits to Lahaina and other jaunts. The drinking age was 18 at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. 😊

Pioneer Inn. 658 Wharf St, Lahaina, HI 96761, near the banyan tree park. 😊

I think they are Boobies, not Booties.😁

We loved Huatulco when we visited on a canal cruise. Really nice beach/port/town, and very convenient to the pier. Great photos, as always!

Sous Vide seems to require a lot of single use appliances. The cooker, the vacuum sealer, the pot or tray. I don't have room to store all those, and it seems to be more cooking steps than I am interested in. JMO. ☺️It is like recipes with more than about 5 ingredients and a lot of single use herbs. I shy away from those, too.

Navigator block just came today from September sailing. I asked the LA about in March, and he just happened to be the same LA from Navigator, that had ordered it originally. He said it was "in process", and that it would be one of the old blocks. It's not. It is one of the new blocks with the photo of Navigator. It is fine. It just looks sort of gift store cheap/gaudy. So, we have it to go sort of along with all of our other ones now. 😏

I realized that later. I always get the Quantum class ship names mixed up. 😌
