MS Prisendam Sail-Away-Nov 26, 2013

Princess is moving.

 

Sheila, I did just that a few minutes ago. I think I saw Pegasus docked by Hyatt Pier 66 a few years ago.

From what I've heard, the Coral Princess is a pretty ship...and she can fit through the Panama Canal!

[Vict0riann]

I wonder if it has stopped raining? It's beginning to look a little bit lighter. Better look for Roy up top first!

[startwin]

Thanks...grandkids are the best! Spent the afternoon playing Mickey Mouse Monopoly with her 6 year old brother!

 

Yes they are! My grandsons are all grown up now (22 and 19) and I really miss those days. So glad we spent lots of time with them because it goes so fast. I have 6 younger grandchildren in England, but I don't see them often enough.:(

Just checking in to watch.

[innlady1]

Very nice, Sheila. Who's cooking it?

 

In the freezer it'll go! I already bought two turkey breasts and her MIL is also roasting a turkey...so we have more than enough for Thursday. I am making chestnut and sausage stuffing, cranberry salad, green bean casserole (a semi healthy version), pecan pie...and bringing olives I bought in Spain and wine I brought home from Italy and Spain. ;)

The CP tooted just as I was answering the phone - the doctor's office - they must have thought I was mad!

 

Lots of people on deck; the weather must not be too bad.

They do grow up way too fast. Do you go over to England to visit?

[startwin]

Boring toots - wonder if she'll do more.

 

Sheila, that stuffing sounds yummy!

[Scrapnana]

I did not care for the sound of that Princess horn. It hurt my eardrums.

[mamaofami]

That food sounds yummy. We'll be celebrating both Thanksgiving and Hanukkah on Thursday. First we'll eat all the turkey and trimmings, then light the menorah when it gets dark, and give the kids their presents. It's the first time these two holidays fall on the same day and it won't happen again in our lifetime.

Yes, as often as we can, usually once or twice a year.

Awesome!

[innlady1]

It was a very strange sounding horn. :rolleyes:

[Vict0riann]

Startwin, Do you ever rent a flat or somewhere to stay in England? DH's cousins are all in the London/Surrey area, and I'd like to get a place for a month or so, because they're all getting to old to really welcome guests for any length of time.

Very, very nice. What a wonderful memory for everyone....

[sapper1]

No sound with iPad on the webcam website.

Made it Happy Thanksgiving WeeK Everyone.

[startwin]

It doesn't look like she's moving anytime soon.

I am the world's worst cook and hate to cook but for whatever reason I like to watch "The Chew". Today's show was on "Thanksgivukkah". They showed some really yummy items.

[Scrapnana]

Welcome back, Chief. Good timing. Now if they would just zoom in on Pdam.

No, we usually use our air miles to book a hotel (Holiday Inn Express is close by). But if I was going for longer at a time, I would rent an apartment and there are quite a few sites on the net that you can check out. Just google holiday or short-term rentals in (town). At one time when we went in the summer, we rented a caravan in Weymouth for 2 weeks. It was great, we actually felt like we had a vacation!:D

 

(Note - we do not stay with the family - six kids and 2 dogs in a 3 bedroom house, no way! But if I go on my own, I stay with my sister).

I read that some mother coined that term a while ago when they realized the two holidays would fall on the same day and it "stuck".

Of, course, if we go through the Panama Canal in April of 2015, we may have to put England off until after the summer! :D

Port Schedule now shows a 17:45 departure. Just a guess but I bet there have been many flight delays. So far we have had over 7 inches of rain today.:eek:
