Well, actually, I am one of those people who runs late sometimes. My apologies.... A serious question though: we are getting ready to book our 2nd RCI cruise. We loved Odyssey of the Seas and are looking at her itineraries. Are there any "sister ships" of Odyssey that we should look at? I get that all the ships have their plusses and minuses, but I'm specifically looking for our 2nd RCI cruise to be on Odyssey or a ship a lot like her. TIA What time of the year do you want to sail? There are various ships sailing out of Cape Liberty, NJ or Baltimore, if you don't want to fly to FL or another state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that one every couple of weeks. Eric got one from a nail salon over the weekend. I found that one really strange but we had a good laugh over it as I always tell him he needs a pedicure. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday night I fly to Connecticut, spend Thursday at my boss’ home on the sound in Norwalk, CT, fly back from La Guardia late Thursday night (we’re talking midnight arrival) and leave early Friday morning for a girl’s weekend in St. Augustine, Fl. https://www.visitnorwalk.org Sounds like an action packed few days. Norwalk is part of CT Gold Coast so any house on the Sound has got to be gorgeous. Enjoy! High temperature for Thursday is a sweltering 70. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fits and would be amazing to see it land on the bridge. Unfortunately, the A380 is significantly larger and has a wing span of 261ft. (Some clipping will occur, DO NOT ATTEMPT) Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😁 dp Could the bridge handle the weight of a 737? I’m guessing it could, but I have no clue. 🛩️ 😁 On 5/30/2023 at 1:17 PM, Jimbo said: …Here is a couple pictures of a couple Lillies near our front walkway leading to the front porch. One was taken about 6 days ago and one just a few minutes ago. Finally the sun is coming out and the rain has stopped. There are still a lot more buds yet to bloom 🙂 Beautiful lilies. I want those lilies in my yard. What exactly are they called so I can see if they will grow down here? Never mind.

Last time we were here, we were on the 35th floor and our view was of the Bellagio. We could watch the fountain shows from there. Just couldn’t hear the music. There were some really big fluffy clouds out the window on the plane but I was sitting on the wrong side so I couldn’t take a picture for you. But here are some nice ones for you. Hope y’all enjoyed your trip. Great view. On 6/1/2023 at 6:31 PM, Momof3gurlz said: So finally some pictures of the kitchen island project. First, the before photos, including blue tape we used as a guide for the placement of the new island. You can see it’s not only an unusual shape, but very oddly placed and not at all practical for cooking due to the distance from the sink and stove. The placement also meant the kitchen table had to be pushed too close to the far wall to allow for any type of China cabinet or hutch. (Old photo from last Christmas) This is the new island. Much larger, more functional and so much more storage. It also allows the table and chairs to be centered and room for a hutch. There’s still some discoloration in the hardwoods from the old island but that will eventually darken. I absolutely love the two deep drawers for all my pots and pans. The island looks great as does the rest of the kitchen. On 6/2/2023 at 5:17 AM, Ocean Boy said: Thanks! That drink sounds very good. I thought you might also like the name.

Is the area fenced in or is it like a cage where they can’t get out? I let the cats go in the shade house when I’m out there and sometimes when I’m inside. The lower area (about 4’ high) we have the pet screen which is stronger than the regular screen. Chloe absolutely loves to go out there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak spark accident into an Arborvitae plant (pro tip: cut the torches-waiting-to-happen down if they're next to your house, like I always wanted to do but never got around to LOL). Thankfully, the fire went up through the roof and not down. Everybody....wife, dog, cat, chickens, were all okay. Not a lot of fire damage to the house itself (in fact, you can't really tell there was a fire inside the house other than the smoke smell), but lots of smoke and water (fire department did an amazing job). Looking at 6-8 months for reconstruction. From the outside, 95% of the house looks normal. I'm sure they'll have to gut the inside down to the studs due to the smoke and fire. In the meantime, we were lucky to find a rental house in our neighborhood just a couple blocks away, so we are super close for the duration (depending on the wonderful county permitting/inspection process, may be there up to 12 months). Easy enough to feed the chickens and keep an eye on things during reconstruction. Didn't lose anything sentimental. Insurance company thus far has been great (even, dare I say, overly generous in their valuing of certain items). Anything we lost....stuff is just stuff anyway. The only cruise-related casualty is a 16 day we had planned in October. We really don't want to be away for 2-1/2 weeks so we're cutting it back to a week in October. Which is fine, since we'll be on our favorite ship, the Adventure. Which is appropriate, since life is an adventure, right? In the meantime, here's Stevie and her best friend Tucker, all tired out from playing. We stayed with our next door neighbors for about three weeks while the whole rental deal was being hashed out. They were wonderful, told us to stay as long as we needed to. Stevie played with Tucker all day long, every day, and thought us burning the house down was the best thing we've ever done. I’m so sorry to hear about your house and glad everyone is safe. That had to have been scary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area is fenced with cattle panels and is 75% covered with more panels. None of the cats has ever tried to get out. We can cover it more if needed but this gives my husband room to clean the gutters. They do love it out there. They are only out during the day and we lock the cat door before dark. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted June 6, 2023 #95168 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Question for @Sea DogGreg, Deb and the 10/21 Adventurers: What was the price for the Coco Cay Beach Club excursion that you booked? I am seeing $283 on one sailing and $168 on the other sailing in my CP (August and September). This is a great itinerary and I looked at it (for Tortola), but cannot work the dates since we will be on the Equinox ABC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self...never try to land a drone on a beach when you're inebriated. It didn't land on the shelf I was trying for and instead fell into the sand. Because of said inebriation, I didn't clean it off well enough. The next time I went to use it, several of the props were stuck so I cleaned it with alcohol to the motors and compressed air. Then the gimbal was stuck. Did the same to it....The drone flew and had a mind of it's own and flew directly into my neighbor's house with no direction from me. Sorry this happened. I hate it when your drone flies onto a house. 47 minutes ago, Arzeena said: Question for @Sea DogGreg, Deb and the 10/21 Adventurers: What was the price for the Coco Cay Beach Club excursion that you booked?
