That is her in the mauve sweater in the squeeze thru the rocks photo and the cave video. She is camera shy, and usually turns away from the camera when I take photos. Just glad we are healthy and fit enough to do these things. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about Calipari taking over the Men’s Basketball team at Arkansas ? People tell me that he is burnt out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll keep looking at their UK site to see itineraries and get a sense of fares and then try to see about booking through their US site. @grapau27 photos over the years have been wonderful and I like the idea of doing some European ports outside of the US summer season. P&O main base is Southampton England. They also sail from Valetta Malta and Tenerife and in the winter also from Barbados. Prices are reasonable, Gratuities included in cruise price and none added to drinks or speciality restaurants. Early or late saver prices are cheapest. Select fares you can choose your cabin number and often get other benefits like OBC. The 2 oldest ships Aurora and Arcadia are Adults only and sail longer cruises. The other ships do 3,4,5,7,10,12 and 14 nights cruises. Graham. Edited April 8 by grapau27 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that even the pricier cabins on deck 9 and above do not look down to the water, they look down on the promenade.... Deck 9 is in the middle I rest my case.... Our cabin was deck 11 picture 1. In November 2023 and January 2024 we were on deck 14 aft balcony picture 2 and 3.

We have booked her for 2026 so we’d like to know what you think of her too! Since Royal doesn’t circle Japan we had to use Celebrity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tell me that he is burnt out . It surprised me. He has done well so far. If I was burnt out, I wouldn't take another job. I was happy to see Musselman leave. He was too much of a whiner for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted April 8 #118811 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Preparing from Oxford for eclipse. If I was traveling home today here are two sections of roads I would be on. The governor said police presence would be increased. Skies clear Dogs in bedroom ZZOEY napping Waking up the little one closer to total eclipse. Be safe.

reallyitsmema Posted April 8 #118817 Share Posted April 8 Just went out and checked here. Barely starting to cover here, just a tiny nick of the edge covered. Glasses work great though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasses work great though! They really do! At first, I thought I got scammed as they looked like cheap 3-D movie glasses. Then when I put then on inside the house, I couldn't see a thing. I thought maybe the lens was covered & needed to be peeled off. But when I looked at the sun, wow. I'm guessing maybe 25% coverage. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted April 8 #118824 Share Posted April 8 Not very cool looking here as we have only 89% totality. Looks better watching the tv coverage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at about 50% coverage right now. Really cool to see it. We are only going to be at around 90% covered at the max for our area. Still worth seeing. Traffic north was gridlocked all morning, so glad I didn't try to go to northern NH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
