Rent a golf cart...drive down to the other end at the marina...check out the huge sharks roaming the water near the fishing boats looking for scraps. And I mean...huge!! 😮

LOL...love it! And enjoyed conversing with you. You are a fun person! 🙂

I had great results asking our attendant to remove items we would not use and be sure to keep replenished what we did like. 🙂

See you in New Zealand Orion! 🥰

LOL...I worried about that as well....but since you are the OP. It's your call. 😉

Oh wow....another fantastic day and perfect choice for a tour! Can't wait to see it myself in a few months. 🥰

It is very common to have two comics preforming in the adult comedy show, one after the other. We had reservations for one night last week in this room, but they ended up putting us all in the theater instead..and it was packed.

Nice! Looking forward to our visit to Iceland/Greenland in August. Thanks again for your fantastic review and for taking us along on your journey. Feels like we are right there with you. 🥰

Ah...Barrington my man...happy hour is just not the same without you!!

And of course all the cigars they hawk in town are verified actual Cuban cigars. 😄 😄

And that house would have loved you to take care of it as well! Poor big 'ole mansion has been falling apart for many years. 😞

Awww...party pooper!! 😄

Always funny for us. When we are home...we miss traveling. When we travel...we miss home. The VRBO homes are not as bad as cruising...since I still get to cook and feels like a real home. 😉

Hubby loves puttering around the yard, tending his plants and landscaping when we are here at the little house. He grows many of them from seed. We also have community lawn service...but that is just to mow the lawn and trim. Our palm trees and Pineapples are on their own when we leave. The big property just got too much for us when we retired and starting traveling a lot. Don't miss that part of it indeed. 😉

We "jumped ship" on RCI world cruise in LA a few months ago (did first quarter, 63 nights). We already have Viking B2B booked for 45 days (down under) beginning of next year. The Serenade world cruise did not do a full circumnavigation of Australia (which Viking does). Plus we had no interest in going through the Suez Canal or into the middle east. (that was before they were forced to cancel that route). We are rejoining for the last quarter (62 nights) in Barcelona doing western Med, Baltics, Greenland, Iceland and then working our way down eastern US seaboard back to Miami.

LOL...actually I liked both actors. Zachary was a favorite of mine when he played the bad guy on Heroes. 😉 And how could you not like Leonard? 😄 We lived for 20 years on one of the large canals in Merritt Island. Could hear the ship's horns as they left (when PC let them sound off more) and always wished we were on board. Back then, was quite limited on cruise ships, and in fact it was just a gravel road with shrimp boats at the port when we moved in. Monarch will always be in our hearts. 🥰

Added bonus cruising in Alaska for me....local AT&T service. Both using their internet and the phone. 🙂

We usually take the stairs as much as we can...but this last week, Bucky had a leg injury. The stairs going down were actually the worst for him with the down step weight on the leg...and he is a skinny guy. 😮

We had at least 3 of the aft elevators in and out of service most of the time. One never worked. 😞

Excellent! Better late than naked!! 😄

Did the captain sound the horn when you crossed? 🙂

Did you ever get your suitcase?

If it was a referral to Star Trek....yes, Spock gave them to me in person. 😄

We sold the big house on the water with lush landscaping, pool, boat dock, 3 boats. Still traveled in the motor home, but sold that now as well, since our fur babies (was the way to travel and take them along) were taken by the demon cancer. 🥺 Our small house here in this quiet gated, guarded community works well for us with little to no upkeep. We have a caretaker we pay to watch over it and water our plants. The long worldly trips came up since we are pet free now, but after 5 years....I still miss them dearly. Once the world travel bugs get kicked out of our system....we will stay more local as well. And with limited cruises booked now with RCI...I don't have to worry about not having room for those additional blocks now. 😄

We had a B2B (2 weeks) paid in full with American Queen Voyages. Was supposed to be for my birthday and our anniversary next month. They filed for bankruptcy. Even with going through the masses of required paperwork with surety company and bankruptcy court, I doubt I will see that money again. 😡 And yeah, we are not home much. Thus instead of a two week cruise followed by 2 weeks at a VRBO winery guest house south of Portland...I changed it it 4 weeks. Leaving a week from today, still looking forward to the trip....errr....no blocks awarded though. 😄 All of our Viking cruises involve rather long flights to get to port....but they worth it, since they are rather long cruises. 😉 And Viking does not have a loyalty program...thus still no more blocks. But that's OK, I don't have much room for more anyway. 😄
