I was thinking the same thing.

 

Then I started thinking as to why John would know this....😂

 

Just kidding....

Most likely it is Bella that puts him up to this deviant behavior. Sometimes living with a pup can drive you crazy and lead to poor decision making.

2 inches-not even noticed.   

The problem in the south when it snows...the roads get icy quickly. Cities don’t have sand trucks for something that seldom happens, so bridges have to be closed, and there are a lot of 

fender benders. 

If the people who live with snow every winter only had snow once a decade, believe me, they’d notice it. 

We have to drive 8 hours to enjoy snow.

I fly 3 hours to get away from it.

Drug store just past Margaritaville and then right

Any directions that involve Margaritaville sound good to me! Of course I’ll probably not make it past M’ville.

2 inches of snow shut down a city of 5 million people.

 

In Minnesota we don't even grab a coat for 2 inches of snow.

I'm a little late to the party, been dealing with a vehicle that is broke down and over an hour away from where we live.  It decided to die on the way home from work in the middle of a thunderstorm on Wednesday.  Lovely.  😆

 

Anyway, have lived NW of Atlanta for over 13 years now and through Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon, Snow Jam, and any of the other snow and ice storms that have brought the city to its knees.  Last year they finally worked with our northern neighbors to design a comprehensive cold weather plan, seem to be including members of all counties and school boards, added additional trucks, salt and sand stores, etc.  Powers that be finally realized that just handling the streets ITP didn't help the traffic problems on the interstate and outer communities.

 

Last year we were supposed to get a dusting of snow, caught many of the schools in a bind.  The first pic is our neighborhood about 0930.  The second is our back deck around, 1800, hubs shoveled some snow out the way so the pups could have a quick place to go.  The third is the front yard again the following morning and the last the back deck from overnight.  We ended up with about 12 inches of a light dusting. 🤣

Absolute worst Love & Marriage show ever. Dont know where to begin. I'll just answer like the wimpy husbands and say everything is perfect

 

[John&LaLa]

Random observation of the day.

 

Its 9pm and the DL is empty.

Why is that,  John?

 

They stopped serving free booze at 8pm😉

Just wrote a huge description of dinner and it went away.😓

 

Synopsys 

We screwed up, it was formal night a day early because of Halloween.  Enjoyed Johnny Rockets. End of story

 

 

 

[John&LaLa]

Off to the comedy show. Going solo again. Laura is tired. At least she's not sick this year.

 

Simeon was good again, Mike was better than the other night

 

Simeon ended his act reading comments from the surveys. Corny, but funny. 

 

Mike played off of Simeon's set fairly well

 

That's about it for day 5. Halloween tomorrow 

 

Comp drinks today were

2 Amstel 

3 Cape Codders 

2 Newcastle 

1 dbl Bailey's with espresso

 

[John&LaLa]

Day 6 - Halloween at Sea

 

Apparently it's also Thursday

 

Busy day today, Theater tour, Pinnacle Lunch, haunted house, Flight, Halloween parade and balloon drop.

 

For now, let's enjoy the sunrise

 

Promenade decorations seem complete.

 

Pub was nice

Headed to theater, noticed it was lazer tag again. Maybe next week

 

At the theater. Of course the signer is here. Kind of surprised he's on stage since only about 4 of the 400 or so deaf cruisers are here.

 

Bright lights, big city 

 

My dome needs powder, to much glare

 

The ISS prop is cool up close

 

This is not the Show ending plane.😉

 

Gotta run, time for lunch

LOL, no spine. Bet they weren’t brow beat back in the cabin though. 😂

 

Amazed that you made it to dessert at JR.  I only ever made it that far once. Well done. Well done. 
 

Edit: amazing sunrise photo.

Lunch with an Officer,  AKA Pinnacle lunch 

 

Symphony doesn't use the names American Icon, Silk, or Grand. Just MDR 5

 

Our table hosts were Nissan - Head of Security, and Allister - Manager Hotel Operations. We had nice wine. Kim Crawford and Bell Glos. I had a lot of my favorite Pinot Noir. 🍷🍷🍷🍷

 

Menu was kind of foo foo

 

This was very fishy

 

Arancini is basically deep fried risotto,  much better than the one above.

 

I got the halibut,  Laura the short rib

 

Cheesecake balls

 

Chocolate bar

 

Had a nice visit with both officers. Allister was on Harmony for this cruise last year.  He says this one will be more elaborate. 

[John&LaLa]

Huge line for haunted house, all the way from Attic to casino. Took us about 25 minutes to get in, then just few to go thru. It was ok. Very low budget.

 

Our position after about ten minutes.

 

How far we had gone

 

Entrance

 

Bouncer. They let about 20 people in at a time

Windjammer dinner

 

Trick or Treat for adults
