I plan on attending at least once. For those that celebrate is there anything that I should bring or be aware of in order to be respectful of the tradition. I've already read up on the Maccabean revolt and the rededication of the temple. Any other suggestions? Should I get and wear a Yarmulke? Would that be wrong since I'm not Jewish? Would any other hat suffice? You can wear a yarmulke if you wish.It is very nice of you to do this. My wife and I were on many cruises during a Hanukkah.The most interesting thing is that people attend the services from all over the world. At the end of the service there was always a meet and greet where people introduced themselves and said where they live. One of my granddaughters is in college and has 3 roommates who are not Jewish.Tonight we did a FaceTime celebration with her and her friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted December 8, 2023 #110156 Share Posted December 8, 2023 @Husky1987 Looks like you got that roof on just in time before all that rain in Washington. Just how close to Washington's Snoqualmie Falls do you live? Usually this is just a peaceful water fall. Looks like Niagara Falls with all the rain you have had. Would be cool to see it in person if you live near by. We have been there, but never looked like this. https://weather.com/news/weather/video/snoqualmie-falls-rages-amid-pacific-northwest-flooding 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She posted a comment and a few pictures 4 days ago about the wedding that she attended in what looks like Colorado. Seemed pretty upbeat with smiling pictures and friends. There wasn't much else on her page. I think she's just doing a sort of social media reset. My guess is we won't see her here again. That's a shame but if that's what she needs to do... She is one of the few if not only person I have actually met. Before covid we were on an Allure Roll Call together, and she came up and watched me FlowRide one time. We didn’t talk much, but she seemed nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she has made a conscious decision not to continue posting in a public forum or has been advised not to post here whilst going through the divorce . I stopped following her on Instagram about 18 months ago. My only reason was her travel posts here on cc were so good & detailed that there was no need for me to follow her elsewhere. She will be missed. I think this is probably the correct answer. Lawyers do not want to give the other team ammunition. That said her posts her have always been pretty non confrontational. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had lunch at a restaurant right next to the falls, when I was about 10. It might have been that building, I don't remember. There were white tablecloths. I do remember a little girl that came into the dining room that was about my age. And for a dollar, I could come out right next to the falls and see and hold her rabbits from the hutch. (I eagerly did, of course) ☺️ So I tend to think it was probably a lot less fancy then. It is a gorgeous area. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother lives in North Bend, less than 10 minutes away. I've seen it both ways and in between! You can hike down to the river level just a stone's throw away from the bottom of the falls (where they found Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks), which I've done more than a few times and it's always spectacular. @Coralc Yep, that's the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge (actually now called the Salish Lodge but old folks like me will always call it by its old name). They were pretty famous for their pancake breakfast, where the waiter/waitress would pour the (incredible) syrup from as high as they could reach and make it fall perfectly over your pancakes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds neat, we went there on a private tour when we had a stop there in Seattle on a B2B Cruise Pacific Coastal/ Alaska Combo. We didn't have the time to hike it, but I can see where that would have been neat. Beautiful area. ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted December 8, 2023 #110165 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Thanks for all the Chanukah wishes. How wonderful we can all acknowledge/share our holidays in here. We had a wonderful Chanukah/Christmas tradition with neighbors on our block for quite a few years. Their daughter was my daughter's age when they met, all of 3 years old. Every year, for about 10-12 years we would go to their house, admire their wonderful decorations, grab a few candy canes off the Christmas tree and the kids would exchange gifts. Chanukah, the family would come to our home, kids would exchange gifts, eat latkes, jelly donuts and play the draydel game. Those once 3 year olds are now in their mid 30s, married, each with 2 children and still keep in touch. @Sea Dog Greg, Jack wanted me to thank you for posting the knee brace info in here. It makes a difference when he wears it. Definitely cuts down on some the pain. Edited December 8, 2023 by BonTexasNY 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rejigged Israel cruises from Greece this winter have some very good prices. But not far off diamond plus so its tempting to stick with RC for the next year or so. We have booked a short holiday in Singapore in February with a four day RC cruise tagged on. One day we will get to Australia 🇦🇺 🙏.... I do hope you & Gary make it down here one day. Love Singapore. Adding on a short cruise from Singapore is a great idea too. Edited December 8, 2023 by aussielozzie18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 8, 2023 #110175 Share Posted December 8, 2023 My work colleague and I share a love of cruising. She cruises exclusively Royal whilst I cruise whatever suits me. We are unable to cruise together but tend to book our cruises close to each other. I told her this morning about my new VV booking (still a work in progress) and suffering FOMO she did some research and plans to book Sydney/Hobart/Adelaide/Sydney on the Ovation. Her first visit to Adelaide via ship. Made me think of Pauline’s cousin @grapau27 Any plans to visit South Australia on the horizon for you, Graham? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
