I just never mentioned it.......I booked it back in March when I found about my surgery and cancelled 2 April sailings. And that TA crossing was booked previously too. So the 2 new ones are really Alaska and the Caribbean. But as for getting serious? I was thinking about my life lately.......I have the finances to do them and it is better than sitting at home turning into an old lady/couch potato😮 hey, you're talking about me with the old lady/couch potato comment!!! <just kidding>. Was hoping I could get a little sun today, but it's freakin' snowing. Lot of chores indoors to do that I put off while I was working. Major cleaning. I can be a real pig when I'm 'in season' and leave lots of crap to do when I don't have just my 2 days off a week. OOTD: my "rabbit on a tank" arm the animals Tshirt and a pair of joggers.

Rare Lois R Posted April 29, 2022 #5302 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Kat,🙂 what if I told as a child I was a couch potato........I remember my parents telling me, if they had offered TV as a subject in school, I would have made straight A's................ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted April 30, 2022 #5308 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hi everyone -- I'm in a hotel by Heathrow waiting for tomorrow and my flight home. The cruise was very good BUT too crowded. The cruise director announced at the beginning that it was the highest capacity sailing so far this year for Celebrity, hmmm..... There was COVID around the ship too -- two different entertainers (e.g., not the same act) came down with it and had to be replaced. It did make me a bit nervous about fully enjoying myself and socializing with others. But thankfully my COVID test that I needed today in order to fly home tomorrow was negative. The ports were interesting and new to me. We did have to swap out our day in Le Havre for a day in Zeebrugge (for Bruges) due to a port worker strike.... Still love Italy and the Med more!!!! @slidergirl Don't know if you're still looking for a cover-up solution, but I used to have a shirt similar to this one, back when I was doing a lot of traveling on the North African coast -- Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco. The gauze is perfect, light, and wrinkles don't matter. I like this version as it has a little style and was thinking of getting one for myself for the summer: https://www.nicandzoe.com/shop/shoreline-gauze-top-S221634.html?lang=en_GB#product-img-0 Interesting to see what projects and travels are being planned. I know one thing I want to "plan" when I get back is to get in better shape. Too much sitting around during COVID! 😳 I need to be able to put in my miles of city walking/wandering without getting wiped out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted April 30, 2022 Author #5309 Share Posted April 30, 2022 @cruisemom42: Good to hear you are negative and one the way home. Sounds like the number of people getting back into cruising is rapidly increasing. The white shirt: I remembered I have an ex-officio white shirt around somewere in one of my "too big now to wear" bags. As an overshirt it may work. Went and got my booster #2 a few hours ago. Now I have a little headache but a major upset stomach. Drinking some ginger beer now. Ugh. At least it's done. OOTD: jeans, gray Woolx short-sleeve shirt. And the new merrells to keep working them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia, just wanted to say I hope you made it home safely and glad you had a good cruise (sans the amount of people on board the ship). I hope this submits correctly............ I've had a few of those kind of posts... Lois - I was watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for a little last night (no judgement please) and Guy was doing Barcelona. I immediately though of you!! Cynthia - when are you doing your business trip? 609 It's a yucky, overcast day today with rain later. Tomorrow it'll be maybe up 60 but rainy, but Tuesday- high of 42 with snow/rain. Not a fun week here. I've got my assorted Italian salumi, cheese and crackers ready for tonight. And the bottle of prosecco is chilling in the fridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 1, 2022 #5312 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hi Kat, I always watch Guy's shows........why would anyone judge anyone about it? Some folks like him and others not so much but I love seeing all the diner's around the country🙂. I know he took he older son to Europe and they filmed in a bunch of places.......Barcelona must have been part of that series. Do you ever watch The Grocery Games? I love that show!😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise kitty Posted May 3, 2022 #5319 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hi Ladies! I'm sorry, I'm not caught up at all! I'm packing madly, & just read the updated weather reports for London & Rome; looks like we're getting a bit of sunshine! Rome will have late afternoon T-Storms on a few days, but honestly I love evening T-Storms in Rome 🙂 We leave on Thursday... hoping to finish packing this afternoon, then it's lashes & Mani-pedis tomorrow 🙂 Packing super light this time, since the weather is cooperating! -Debbie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
