Sad me is still stuck at home, waiting for the day we get to head to LAX for our cruise. But I’m happy to see you enjoying your pre-cruise libations, so decided to join you with a delightful old fashioned, even if it’s at home 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited we are doing a B2B for the first time (and don’t think I didn’t consider a B2B2B but the youngest has to get moved back to university 😜). I will absolutely be joining you the entire way 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganClark Posted July 15, 2021 #160 Share Posted July 15, 2021 LATE STATUS REPORT: Mark this date down on the calendar. I arrived at the Green Parrot and there was not a bar stool to be found (bar was packed). Fast forward 2 or 3 hrs later and I'm the only one in the bar and I'm closing it down! I think I've only closed a bar down once; on spring break in Fla when I was 19. (Drinking age was 18 back then). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClark Posted July 15, 2021 #161 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Cheers from the "Tiki Bikini" in Nassau, Bahamas! This is my 1st attempt at posting a pic following @oceanboy's instructions. I think this is going to work. Thanks @oceanboy! I owe you a "Kah-Lick"! Edited July 15, 2021 by MorganClark 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted July 15, 2021 #168 Share Posted July 15, 2021 15 minutes ago, MorganClark said: Android (Samsung Galaxy Note). Ok, I have a Samsung Galaxy s8 so the intructions should be close.... Open your camera At the top on the left should be a settings icon. Tap it. Scroll down until you see "save optons" and tap it. You should see an option for "pictures as previewed (selfies)". You can set that to flip, or not, your selfies. Now, it might be a bit different for you as Samsung stopped upgrading the version of Android in the S8 awhile ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClark Posted July 15, 2021 #169 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) I think I posted previously about the crazy dump truck drivers here in Nassau, speeding down narrow, congested streets at 60 mph (in a 30 zone). The taxi drivers here are the same way. My taxi ride back to my hotel last night could beat any thrill ride at any amusement park. My taxi driver would also speed down these tight streets. He was approaching an intersection and the light clearly was red for us but he "went for it" and proceeded to run the red light. A car was starting to enter the intersection from our left (they had the green light) and my taxi driver's response to this? He flashed his headlights and honked his horn (as if the car with the green light was at fault!). Don't get me started on my taxi driver's tail gating. We're talking about a half an inch behind the bumper of the car in front of us. While he tail gates, he also was flashing his headlights into the car in front of us through the back window. I tell you what, the things he was doing would get him shot in the U.S. But here in Nassau, it seems to be the norm! So, if you're looking for a thrill ride, just take a taxi ride here in Nassau. I literally had my face in my hands, covering my eyes as my crazy taxi driver drove like we were in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!

See my previous post about me walking down these "sidewalks" (uneven, huge holes, tripping hazards) and the speeding dump trucks "flying" past me, kicking up sand & dirt in my eye. The "sidewalks" are very narrow and so close to the streets. The dump trucks seemed like they came within inches of me! So, even walking is a thrill here in Nassau. Only in the Bahamas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long4acruise Posted July 15, 2021 #174 Share Posted July 15, 2021 @MorganClark You be careful there in Nassau as you're experiencing some close "Adventures" on land before boarding the real Adventure of the Seas! 😆 It won't be long before you safely join us on Saturday.

MorganClark Posted July 15, 2021 #175 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) O.k, with the help from @oceanboy, here are the pics I tried to post yesterday (I'll spare you the pic of the McDonald's again, lol) when I thought my phone went wonky on me. I think I can only post text up here on top (@oceanboy, is there a way to post text next or on top of each pic?). There are 10 pics below, so from top to bottom I'll # them 1 thru 10. 1. @HBCcruiser, here is the lobby of your hotel (Hilton) and the location where I got "mask shamed" by the receptionist & the parking attendant. 2. Front exterior of the Hilton. 3. Front exterior of the Margaritaville Beach Resort (only $393 per night. Ouch! No thank you). 4. The beach for "The Tiki Bikini". This is where the tanned, muscular female MMA fighter was going up & down the beach "shadow boxing" and where I was afraid to get out of the water because I thought she would kick my a_ _. <- (fill in the blanks). 5. & 6. Looking down the public Kankanoo Beach and a close-up of the sign for it. 7. The beach directly across W. Bay St from my hotel (Holiday Inn Express). 8. Our ship's (Adventure OTS) big sister, Freedom OTS. @oceanboy won the contest and won a beer off me. 9. I happened upon this sign on the beach and had to take a pic and share with you guys. It says "bit_ _ slap". I think it's a name of a drink, lol. These crazy Bahamians... 10. My 1st drink at the Green Parrot last night; a Bahama Mama. I didn't really care for the taste so I switched over to Jack & Cokes. So, this worked! All my pictures posted. Thanks again @oceanboy. Man, I've been posting pics from my phone to CC all wrong the whole time. My old way, a link would be posted that you had to click on to get to a small version of the pic. Then, you would have to click on the small pic to enlarge it. This way that @oceanboytaught me is much better! Stay tuned, more pics to come... P.S. @oceanboy, I see now that you can put text right on top of the pic in edit mode but now,, I just need to know how to put space in between the pics (in order to add text in the space). I didn't know a large version of the pics are posted like these; Edited July 15, 2021 by MorganClark 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
