I walk 1.5 hours every morning so I'm up and on the ships walking track every morning NLT 6:00 AM. One morning on a September 2019 Celebrity cruise I finished walking, went down to the spa/gym showers to do all the in front of mirror stuff and then shower. As I was exiting the shower to grab a towel to dry off I found myself face to face with an elderly lady. Mind you I was wearing nothing and no towel. We looked at each other and all I could say was, "crap I must be in the ladies shower room". She left without saying a word. I told my wife the story while eating breakfast and she said jokingly, knowing you, you probably were in the women's shower room. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been in Tier 3 since lockdown in Durham so all restaurants and bars are closed. It doesn't make sense that our PM thinks it's okay that for 5 days over Christmas you can have a jolly with 3 other households with potentially over 20 people indoors at your home. Our Covid19 cases will spiral out of control early January. Happy Christmas everyone. Graham. Thanks Graham, it was a rare sunny day and good to see the cruise ships again, even at a distance. Think a lot of people will scale back any celebrations they had planned. I know we have. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas however you are celebrating it this year Best regards Sue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted December 17, 2020 Author #4039 Share Posted December 17, 2020 A momentary break from snow and bad weather -- Starting today, we can make an appointment to be vaccinated (over 60 years age). The medical teams and 1st responders have already begun. @DaniDanielle & @Sunshine3601 JFIY -- Organ transplant recipients will be next after us. For the moment, we only got Pfizer''s, but a huge amount of Moderna's are just waiting FDA's approval to make their way here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "toad" (nickname for towed vehicle), no lawn chairs, no bbq grill, lawn mat, etc. They are quite sparse. We jumped right in and bought the first A class, without even driving it. Was an "instant education" in handling one. 😮 Read up on a lot of tips in Motor Home magazine that helped a lot afterwards. True, but it would give them a little bit of an idea. Maybe buy some chairs if they don't already have some and stay at a campground with grills. That's funny because we did the same thing. Ordered the Southwind and drove back down to get it and headed up north that day. Picked it up drove home and loaded all the bags and dive gear in and left. We had already bought plastic wine glasses, plates, etc so we were good to go. 😀 1 hour ago, grapau27 said: ....It doesn't make sense that our PM thinks it's okay that for 5 days over Christmas you can have a jolly with 3 other households with potentially over 20 people indoors at your home.

We know people are going to do what they want anyway but to come out and say it publicly wasn't smart imo. They'll blame the rise in cases on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of medical advice against it and almost 70% in polls say it is a bad idea but he insists it's what's allowed in law although he is now passing the buck saying he expects us to be sensible and show restraint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
