There is an app too. Here are a couple of the links so you will know when to look out. https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/launches-and-events https://www.visitspacecoast.com/launches/ The night time launches are neat to see. We were at a wedding in St. Augustine when there was a launch that part of the payload was actually something my DH worked on. Launch was when dinner was being served inside but there was a rooftop bar area where we could go watch. It was cool seeing something he worked on launch. We use those quite often. If the launch is around sunset or sunrise and going north we often see them here in SC. Did get to see one launch from Port Canaveral a few years ago on boarding day for Mariner. Both were neat to see. Here is a pic from our yard during one of the SpaceX launches. You can even see the booster coming back down. Pic from Mariner was from a distance and daylight so hard to see. Today's launch was well after sunrise so couldn't see it at all. Edited August 20 by akcruz 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now some of my cruise friends are trying to lure me onto a NYE cruise aboard the Sun Princess, their newest mega-ship. This New Years Eve, so that could be my first Princess cruise. We shall see. Our 1st cruise was on Sea Princess. It was about 25 years ago. It was a new ship. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. We had our 45th last Sunday! We were chased by a hurricane that cruise however that didn't stop us from later cruises. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool you can see them in SC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted August 20 #127981 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Camp NanaPapa is wrapping up today. Yesterday was a visit to a very hands on marine biology center nearby. The sun came out briefly in the afternoon for one final pool session, then we made tacos for dinner and went out for ice cream. We’re currently in our way to PA bringing the boys home. We’ll spend the night and tomorrow Andy and I will drive directly to Albany NY to help pack up his Mom’s apartment. She’s finally agreed she needs assisted living and will move there Thursday. Hawaii in 18 days and it can’t come soon enough! Edited August 20 by Momof3gurlz 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted August 20 #127983 Share Posted August 20 @Momof3gurlz I wish we could convince my Mom to go to either assisted living or independent living near us. It is going to take a crisis to get her to move. I just wish it would be her decision and not one that is forced on her after a fall or illness. I hope the move goes well. 🙂 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t all that easy, the family has been trying to get her to agree for years. She’s had several falls recently which led to this finally happening. I wish you the best. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted August 20 #127995 Share Posted August 20 5 hours ago, HBE4 said: Do you know when they changed the Premier Package? When I booked the Alaska cruise, it was $80 per day. Considering it included tips, wifi (up to 4 devices), 2 specialty & unlimited casual specialty restaurants( which I guess would be their version of Playmakers, Johnny Rockets, etc) and a few other things such as photos & fitness classes, it seemed liked quite the deal. Quite the deal, considering that I just payed $65 for the drink package on Adventure, the extra $15 gets you a lot more. The changes to the Premier package only happened in the last week. So it’s very new. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted August 20 #127998 Share Posted August 20 We're finally back home in Florida. It was great seeing our daughters in Cincinnati, and we got a lot done on my older daughter's 130-year-old house, but we're exhausted. I think a couple of days of doing nothing is in order. Although my daughter loves her old Victorian house, I much prefer our modern house with a lot more space. There's still a lot more to do, especially with her landscaping. We cleared out a lot of garbage trees and shrubs around her yard, that likely grew as weeds for years. We kept and significantly trimmed a few other larger trees that were in good shape. We also got rid of most of the wintercreeper that had overgrown and was tangled in her chain link fence. Someone years ago planted it for ground cover, and possibly as cover for her fence, but I doubt if it was ever maintained. There were many wintercreeper roots that were 3-4 inches thick that we couldn't remove from the fence. We cut it off at the ground and will need to wait for it to die and then cut/chop/scrap to remove it from the fence. That will probably be next summer. She now has mostly a blank slate from which to build a new landscaping plan. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
