I’ve been enjoying reading about your music charter cruise! We’ll have to get together on Beyond and compare cat stories. 😺 Our cat sitter texts us pictures of our cats daily during our vacation, she said she slipped on ice getting to our house but luckily said she was fine . we were in St Thomas today Edited February 24, 2022 by George C 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was 58 f, today is 68 f with sun most of the day but tomorrow is suppose to be in the 30's Same weather for us with predictions of 2"-4" along the shoreline, 4"-8" inland and 6"-10" in the Northwest corner. Like I've said before, "If you don't like the weather in New England...... Wait 10 Minutes" 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can now do the Happy Dance along with Jim! It's a Go!!! Jim and I are both Negative!!!! Whoot whoot!!! That’s great news. Ours have always come in in about an hour or so. If ours took that long I’d probably be freaking out. 4 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: Any idea what the first drink will be? I'm planning on trying an espresso martini with Baileys that OB enjoys. Those are good and unfortunately go down way to easy. 😁 4 hours ago, Luckynana said: I'll make sure to send some luck your way next week, Mark! Thank you! Please send some our way also. Our next cruise is in 8 days. We really need to pass these tests. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted February 24, 2022 #49704 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) I had an interesting experience today. I received an email from our health insurance provider stating that we could pick up no cost covid home tests from their retail pharmacy partners. I happened to be at Rite Aid this afternoon, so I went by the pharmacy and asked. She took a photocopy of my DL and insurance card, and a few minutes later gave me a bag with 8 home antigen tests! According to the pharmacist, each insured US person (non-Medicare) is eligible for 8 home tests a month at no charge. I was amazed! So now we have 12 tests. We are ready, should symptoms ever arise. I should have asked her about the free N95's too. We will be working on the kitchen flooring. Maybe next week.

We’ve been a couple of times which is probably once too many, but it is a fantastic archeological dig. We still had time to tour a winery, but not much else. No we haven't. That's a thought. We've only been twice and each time did the boat to Oia and bus back to Fira, light meal and walk down the steps to the tender. I was thinking about doing the hike back but I don't think we're fit enough. Gary loves archaeology digs so Akrotiri may be an idea Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted February 24, 2022 #49709 Share Posted February 24, 2022 It is 20° this morning, and we are expecting 3 inches of snow, sleet, and ice tonight. Restricted travel and reduced speeds for all our interstates. Not looking forward to that. At least our long range forecast is for good weather for our travel day next week. Signed up for our testing appointments at Walgreens, near our hotel next Thursday in Florida. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the US prior to this year we could go to various pharmacies or some county sites for free covid tests. During the recent holidays and the spike from omicron testing spots were booked up so our government in January decided to start shipping to our homes or giving out at various locations free test kits. I have no idea what the total $$$ the US govt has paid out to residents and their businesses but it must be in the billions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At sea I like an occassion caribbean mule or rum punch with shot of kraken ontop. Watermelon or chocolate martinis are good too if you want something sweet. I'm excited to try an espresso martini with Baileys on my next cruise. I have never had a painkiller and will try that too! This Debbie does not like red wine either. I like a German Riesling or an Italian Pinot Grigio. Wow! My list keeps growing good thing we have vouchers and free drinks in casino! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t gotten any of the free tests through my insurance yet as we have a decent supply. I did get the free N95 masks at CVS last week. They had them at the pharmacy and at the front registers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
