Thank you, Marian.

 

Physically -- still safe. The soul -- not so much. Every day another atrocity is discovered, and the realization that we're not dealing with human beings is, sadly, very eye opening.

Good to see a post from you Dani.   Prayers are still being sent your way from our house.  Our church has had special prayers for Israel these past two Sundays.

Do you get a balcony discount for being Elite? The balcony discount and five drink vouchers are pretty valuable to me on RCI.

Hey stranger 😃  I am sailing on Celebrity Beyond in a few weeks, 9 night Southern Caribbean. I bought a cruise fare that included unlimited bar drinks, wifi and pre-paid gratuities.  Can't recall if there was a balcony discount or not? I am sailing in a solo infinite verandah cabin. First time on Celebrity and really looking forward to it!

Back on Oasis in February....

The biggie for me was reaching 340 points, and receiving the 50% solo discount on RCI.

I agree. I always sweat in them.

Last picture for tonight.  Zoom in on Minnie’s porcupine quills.

 

 

At first I thought you meant real quills and I asked if she was OK.  Then I kept reading and saw what you meant.  Whew.  glad I was wrong. 😸

My granddaughter wants to get Ricky a costume, so he can dress like her for Halloween. 
 

 

Will be interesting to see if it happens, and how it goes.  

Good Luck!😹

Yes, she’s a black cat with some long white hairs sprinkled in…I call them porcupine quills.  ❤️

 

 

Maybe they show up better in this photo.

Ah, yes.  Now I can see it!!

Good morning.

It is 42°F and sunny here.

Lazy day planned to recover from jet lag as we are 5 hours ahead of Orlando.

Just had porridge for breakfast and missing Denny's Phillisteak omelette and red skin potatoes and toast.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

It was 49 here in NJ this morning.  Brrr!

I’m really struggling with packing for this upcoming trip.  Since the weather might be questionable, I feel like I have to be prepared for several possibilities.  I hope the forecasters have a better idea by Wednesday as we fly to Ft Lauderdale Thursday and I’d like to not have to bring an extra bag.  

Have you considered layering?  

 

Great job on your Celebrity review, Deb!  Thank you!

We met J and L today at the Captain's Club event. It was our pleasure! Laura is just one of the nicest ladies I have met and I enjoyed our conversations. Both are lovely people! We had lunch together. I am SO happy!

Excellent!!    They are a lovely couple!

Thanks for asking.  He's really showing his age (16), and has lost more weight.  A couple of years ago he was almost 15 pounds, which is normal for a Maine Coon, but was 9.6 last week at the vet.  He can still jump onto the 30 inch tall desk, where he has a heated bed, though!  

Marcel sure is a pretty kitty.    That's great that he can still jump up onto the tall desk at his age!😊

THANK YOU for this!  This photo just made my day!  
Been off the board most of yesterday and today, as I boarded X Eclipse, and have limited wifi.  

Playing catch up and can’t believe how far behind I am 🙀.
 

Have a great cruise!

The stomach is better but not 100% . I’m hoping it continue to improve and be good by the time we board on Saturday. Yes looking forward to my celebratory Kraken Colada.

You might want to take some Kraken for a test drive this week. You don't want to have your first drink on the ship and set off a problem.

Every day is a little better. Daily breakfast is great, what I have been waiting for.

Lunch and dinner  can be a challenge, taste still is a little off.  Stateroom ac has had the room freezing, finally called to have the heat fixed so it is now a little better. 

For the first time. I am able to sit here without a sweater and be comfortable.

Taking care of the ship for you guys.

That’s great and things will get better. Looking forward to seeing you.

Watching an interesting show called Secrets of the Lost Liners.  This one focused on the Cunard Liners - specifically Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary Liners and their roles over time, during piece and war. 
 

This is an overview of the series.
