I'm having a large round number birthday this Wednesday at home with DH and he promises to make me a birthday cake. I remember him celebrating this particular number birthday on the Seabourn Quest with a fabulous dinner and cake and several of our friends on board joining us. Lots of singing and photos, too. Not quite the same for my birthday but I will make up for it on a later cruise, I promise you! And a happy birthday to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the Amsterdam has been missing from the last couple of reports. We all know that it's the one at the Durban Anchorage and I'm guessing you're working from a master document and the ship name isn't getting picked up from the copy and paste. It's takeout McDonalds for me. This is our fire department board meeting and I usually stop for dinner after the meeting. This time it will be a virtual board meeting and then the drive through but it's still a bit of normalcy. Roy Good morning Roy!! Thinking if you often!! Hope your doing well? I miss your blogs and hope soon in future we all get back to normalcy and we get crying again! PS! I know how you enjoy McDonalds😊 Have a good virtual meeting!

Takes Notes Posted April 6, 2020 #31 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Thank you, as always, for the fleet report. Any information on whether the Zaandam is going into Dry Dock and if the upgrade of pax amenities (Lincoln Center, Billboard, Fuji Imaginarium) will be happening?

Rare Vict0riann Posted April 6, 2020 #32 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Thank you for the report, Rich. Luckily, our DD has just gone to the store for us, and popcorn is on the list.

Actually, I rarely went there before I was diagnosed with Diabetes. Say what? They say to a mechanic the solution to every problem is a wrench and to a surgeon it's a scalpel. I guess to an actuary it's a spread sheet. I actually get most of my meals at home and carefully monitor the nutrition labels of the things I buy and constantly track my day's food. That's not always easy in restaurants but one of the things McDonald's does really well is publishing nutrition information. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Certainly not conventional but when I was diagnosed in 2002 I was medicated (Avandia) and went off the drug 6 months later with the doctor's approval.

lindaler Posted April 6, 2020 #34 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Thanks for the report Rich. It’s hard to get excited about cooking fancy dishes when there is only you to eat it, but the Carmel corn sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Btimmer Posted April 6, 2020 #35 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Rich, Thanks for the fleet report. I'm pleased to report I have about 20 bags of carmel popcorn in microwave bags that should last me a while if I ration it out. We're hunkered down up here in the Seattle area.

cat shepard Posted April 6, 2020 #36 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If a kayak counts, I should be paddling around Pennekamp St Pk in Key Largo marveling at nature. Perhaps thinking ahead to sunset on the beach with the wine du jour. Tomorrow we’d be heading to Key West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good day Cat! Denise😊 Our squirrel family run up and down our fence so much they've worn grooves. We also have coyotes that yip and carry on at night, then it's pheasants squawking in the morning. Of course there's our winery below us that for some crazy reason empties bottles at 5am. And people wonder why I'm an early riser. 🤪 and crazy.. therefore I drink.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
