Itajai, Santos, Iiha Grande, Buzios, this is on Regent, also don't miss for Rio, we will be there 3 nights after the cruise. Anyone else who has been to those places, please jump in. Thanks so much, other than BA these are all new ports for us. Alas, cannot be of any assistance re: Rio but definitely need to get back there! My only trip to Rio was on a business trip many years ago. Our CEO realized at our originating airport that he had forgotten to pack any clothing in his suit bag (!!!). Fortunately, I knew there was a men's clothing store at MIA so during the layover we went there and he bought a new suit and several shirts. Unfortunately, he apparently did not try everything on.🤦♀️ After we arrived, while I was at the client's offices making sure that everything was set up for our meetings the following day, the boss called and said "Can you swing by the mall and pick me up some shirts? I didn't try these on at the store and they don't fit." So while the rest of the team went sightseeing and up to Corcovado, my only free time in Rio was spent buying shirts for the boss. 🫤😅 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the completely inappropriate "like". What is it with men not trying things on? Seriously! Very "not cool" to be asked to pick up some shirts. Clearly you knew his size better than he did. Points for you! Demerits for him! 🤨 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points for you! Demerits for him! 🤨 Heh - the part that blew my mind was when we were standing at our gate before the first flight with his suit bag slung over his shoulder and he said "This feels light; did I forget to pack my suit?", then called his wife who confirmed that his clothes were still hanging on the bedroom door. 😆 And no, did not know his size at all plus he gave me US sizes, which we had to convert to European sizing at the mall. So I made sure that he would have a shirt that fit by buying three shirts in slightly different sizes... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqtchas Posted August 9, 2023 #18035 Share Posted August 9, 2023 This car is a french 'Delahaye 175s roadster', introduced at the Paris motor show in 1949. Only one was ever made. It was recently sold at auction for around five million dollars. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emtbsams Posted August 9, 2023 #18037 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Let's say it cost $20,000 in 1949 (just a wild guess). Compounded at 8% = $5,948,232 today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dream that cruise would be though. I hope you have a lovely time sailing this forthcoming holiday season and winter, and hopefully our paths will cross on board a Silversea ship someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Dolcevita Diva Posted August 10, 2023 #18046 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Very tempted to post this in the dress code thread, but decided that would not be wise. 😁.

Rare Tothesunset Posted August 11, 2023 #18049 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Just watching footage from Maui on the BBC. Hope any Coolers from that fair island are safe. So many devastated families, homes and businesses. Tragic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
