Today is our 28th anniversary. Celebrated with dinner at our club tonight. They gave us some champagne to start the night, some raspberry creme brûlée for dessert, and some caramel macarons to bring home. VERY good Wagyu beef tenderloin for our meal (sorry, no pics of the beef). Great view while eating. A very good way to start our cruise week. TOMORROW IS CRUISE DAY!

 

Happy Anniversary, Micheline and Bob❤️

Have a wonderful time on your cruise!🛳️

Bring the wine and come on over!

Watch what you wish for. Some people with lots of wine bottles live close enough to take you up on this! HA HA HA!😆

We usually get hit in June and September, but September has been love bug free this year. 

It's so weird...we get the love bugs around March in Naples..possibly February.

Bummer. Agree with not being towed or stranded. Stay safe and enjoy. 🍷

 

Happy hour may be a tad earlier than 4:00 today.  😉 🍷

Hard to capture the moon with a cell phone.

 

One thing a big camera is good for

 

Full moons are even a little tricky, they tend to wash out, but I'm learning 

 

WOW!  Great pics, John!

@island lady That sucks. Is it still under warranty? Hopefully it will be a cheap and fast fix. The beaches in the panhandle are beautiful.

I should have clarified that I was referring to on ship pizza.

So was I.

I did have a picture of Sea Dogs black cat, but it went poof. Another pretty kitty.

We went all over the Space Center, it was long ago so can’t remember everything.  My kids were young.  Seeing moon rocks,  space capsules and suits was something.  My brother lives  near Houston so we drove all over looking at stuff.  Astro-World was a big hit.

I had two friends who relocated from Brooklyn to Houston in the mid 60’s.We loved the underground city .

Depressing to then unload everything back out this morning.  Have cancelled the first two weeks of our six week tour...

I am sorry this happened to you. Same thing happened to one of my good friends and their RV except they were in the middle of nowhere when it broke down. Good that it happened close to home and at the start. I hope you can salvage your trip.

OK...no travel pictures for the next 2 weeks.  Sigh....

 

Fridge/freezer packed to the gills, clothes refreshed, dry goods in, Meds packed, Plenty of wine!...kayaks loaded on the Jeep, hooked up, fueled up...and hit the road yesterday at noon.  Heading out to our first state park for the six week tour of the Florida Panhandle.  Got up on the highway...and bus started to sputter.  She refused to go anything over 45 MPH.  Great...just great.  And we had it serviced before we left for Maine.  Worked fine at low speed...but no high speed...and even started losing it at lesser speeds.

 

Made it to the next exit, circled around on the side streets, limped back home.  Our excellent RV service located inside our community is closed on the weekends.  Can't even make an appointment until tomorrow.  Then...no idea how long until we can get it in...or how long the repairs.  

 

Depressing to then unload everything back out this morning.  Have cancelled the first two weeks of our six week tour...hoping we may salvage at least a couple of reservations we have for later.  Not sure...but important thing...made it home, and not sitting on the side of the highway.  

 

This had pretty much nailed our decision to sell the land yacht this winter.  Managed to go drown our sorrows at favorite local sushi restaurant today for lunch.  Sigh....Was good sushi though!  

 

 

Really sorry to read this.

I have not had a beer since 1990.I can eat several slices at a time .I am not saying that it is the best pizza around but definitely the best on any cruise ship I have ever been on.

Just saw something pretty cool. The recently recovered SpaceX rocket was just towed past us. Not something that you see everyday. 

 

 

I swear there's always one when I come into town. Lots of subs and destroyers this past week from what I understand.

 

Interesting that the capsule got back before the booster did

@islandlady   So sorry to hear about your Road Trip delay due to your RV problem, Pat and Bucky.  As you said though, you were fortunate to make it back home without being towed.  Good luck getting it fixed as quickly as possible so you can then travel on to the Panhandle.

I'm really sorry to hear you had these problems with your Land yacht Pat.

Hopefully the fault is fixed quickly.

I’m in Jax. Far enough north of Naples to make the season later maybe?

[Luckynana]

My cousins live in Kissimmee, and I believe their love bug season is later than Naples, if I remember right.
