We have been wanting  to try a TA.  I am hoping the hoops you have to jump through to travel overseas are gone soon.  We thought doing a TA on the way back would be a great way to adjust back to the time differences.

 

Me as well.  Our first TA was supposed to be last year...which of course was cancelled.  Had rebooked for this Fall.

 

Happy though, with the ship change from Allure to Wonder...and even more perfect...ending just 20 minutes from my house in PC!!  No return flights to deal with!!  

 

Agree about choosing the west bound TA for the same reason.  🙂

The highlight of that trip for me was walking on a glacier.

 

We snow skied on a glacier.   Pretty cool stopping to look at that pure baby blue ice under the snow in spots.  🙂

You have a step/daughter? I remember you mentioning a stepson.

Ear plugs would be cheaper. 😀

When did Mike put the order in?   We are assuming it will be months before Bucky sees one, once he finally commits to getting one.  

He put it in on August 29th. It shows it should be in the third week of November.

Well, surgery postponed till tomorrow!

I was given a choice, stay at the hospital since I was already prepped, or go back tomorrow morning. I opted to come home, so I could be comfortable. 
Liquid diet today, and start over tomorrow. 
The reason? This makes me look dumb, but no one mentioned bowel cleansing, and I never thought of it. 
It was the failure of my surgeon’s office staff. Big apologies and he’s going to operate on his normal office day. 

So sorry for the delay.  Truly a shame they didnt mention a very important detail of the prep process.  Not your fault in anyway.  

You are going to be just fine🥰   🙏

Stay calm, this surgery will just be a distant memory soon🤞

We went to the flower show a couple of times when we lived near Philly. Absolutely beautiful.

The crappy first class service on AA was Orlando to Bangor Maine and back.  

 

The good Delta first class service was this last trip from Orlando to Spokane WA.  I assume will be repeat of the same on our return flight on Friday this week.  

 

I did the offered survey for AA...and stated "Would it kill American Airlines to offer boxed sandwiches in first class?".   Charging high prices, all seats filled...and making out $$ on the lack of service. 

Mike said there is a cut off time for flights if they are going to serve a meal or not. When I was with Pan Am we would serve meals from Miami to NYC and that would be about the same time. I know things have changed but geesh no meal in first class is crazy. I'd be upset with what they cost. I hope you complained to AA about it maybe on FB or something. Airlines have gone down big time. 

[ReneeFLL]

A week ago Monday we got our booster shots, Friday did our first home test (we were using CVS) and got on the Oasis on Sunday. It's our first time on the Oasis. Yesterday was Coco Cay, tomorrow is St. Thomas and then St. Martin. Mike was talking to another pilot when they were flying and the conversation turned to cruising. Turns out he and his husband are on here also. Will be meeting them in the diamond lounge tonight. 🥂

Yes, I stated my feelings on their survey they sent us.  

 

Worst thing was the 1st leg flight getting in an hour late to connect in Philly...we literally had to run to make it to the gate in time.  No chance to grab anything to eat for our much longer 2nd  leg.  It was indeed over 3 hours and right during normally served dinner time.  

 

Just those crappy vending machine snacks...and limited beverages.  😣

 

Delta doing a much better job.

Home from my booster shot.  Time will tell how I react🤪

I am fine as long as they keep giving me either Bloody Mary’s or scotch on the rocks , if your drinking you don’t need to wear a mask . We fly to ft Lauderdale in a few weeks for our allure cruise.
