Did you leave your shoelaces at home? or did you just come from the brig  onboard for being a bad boy?

What kind of massage do you usually get? Deep tissue, Swedish??

 

Swedish, light pressure. Scheduled 75, but I got 90😁

 

Wanpen is now assistant spa manager👍

Very happy for her.

FitIndex Scale

Less than $30 from Amazon as I recall

 

About 12 x 12,  and lightweight

Fits in between shirts in my suitcase 

 

My toothbrush loves the metal ceilings to dry

 

Might be time for a new head. 😉

You must be using a pretty old Sonicare handle if it takes that head...

Don't see those very often anymore.  We just rid of our Sonicare's that took those heads, so there still some around although the heads are harder to find now.  My battery was dying so we replaced with new ones.    We don't bother taking them on vacation though.

Maybe 5 years. Got replacement last year, I think

I don't bring charger. But I think Laura does. 

 

It easily lasts a week

Cancelled going to Holland House. Dealing with my dad in a rehab center. May have to drive to Miami next week.

 

It's all good, no need to discuss further

 

I'll post any pertinent info on Bella Thread

So close, and yet so far. I blame the alcohol 

 

So down the stairs and cross over I go

 

How long till I do it again?

LOL!  You knew it was going to happen, John!!  You almost predicted it!😁

Olukai.  The most comfortable, lightweight shoes that I have.  Just got a pair of these that look like tie up sneakers but are just slip ons.

Glad to hear you like them. I have been wondering about those. I may have to get a pair.

From what I remember, don't you have a really nice pair of cream colored slip on shoes John?  They always looked really comfy.

Love my Top Sider flip flops.  I must have 20 pairs of them...ordered extra when the style I liked seemed to be on the discontinue menu with Top Sider.  😮

Thanks John and LaLa for this awesome live-blog... We're boarding the Allure on Sunday, so really looking forward to it too!

Any update yet on the shows? Last week seemed to have a lot of "Technical difficulties", and we're hoping they're all solved by now. Look forward to continuing to follow y'all!
