Hoping Oasis serves it as well. I love that cocktail. I need to see if it is available anywhere else besides Izumi. 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: Wow. I play golf and go out to dinner, only to find that I'm 8 pages behind before I even get started. Wish we could have joined you, but I fully expect that I'll be able to live vicariously through you guys on this thread. Greg - I've got a drink to add to your list...a toasted pecan old fashioned. Tasty. It uses William Wolf pecan flavored bourbon, but that might be unlikely onboard. At only 60 proof, it's like drinking a mocktail. In any case, I'm sure you'll report on the bourbon situation onboard. Maybe you can find a friendly bartender who can squeeze a late night XXO onto your drink package. 😉 Safe travels and Bon Voyage to everyone! Sounds wonderful. Love to find a friendly bartender who will pour some Louie XIII. 1 hour ago, John&LaLa said: Did I miss the Crescendo? Sorry I forgot. I still have not had one.

But the hip is not cooperating, so I have to now settle for 10,000 which is around 3-3 1/2 miles. But when I take Ibuprofen, I am able to do more. But, hate taking any more meds than I have to. That is a pretty good goal. Mine have decreased, as I get older. However, I stepped it up, because I am in a challenge to do 100 miles in 10 days. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted March 10, 2023 #206 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Thanks to all who are on the road and posting. I’m finishing things here at home but am basically ready to go. We will go to bed early tonight and wake at 3am to be on the road by 3:45am. We have a SW flight at 6:30. I’ll be tired but I can always snooze on the plane. Cheers to the Bella Cruisers! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted March 10, 2023 #211 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Checked in on American for my flight. Had to print twice. It defaulted to print with ads 2 pages. Grayed out button to print boarding pass with no ads. I'll be finding my hotel to park at dfw north entrance in the dark. Hopefully no wrong turns. Other than packing and i still havent picked up taxes they promised to have finished by today. .. I'm ready i think.

CruiszBug Posted March 10, 2023 #212 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Good morning K-Mart Packers! Thought I would be exhausted this morning from marathon packing last night... but instead I only got as far as moving everything to the living room. This was supposed to be me yesterday. Now I have saved the agony for today. @Lionesss Loved the pink pedi! I got mine done in "Ferrari Red" in honor of our new red Pacifica and our upcoming drive down to Miami. (I might need to use cruise control to resist the speed impulse.) Husband Tom has left to get our still un-named vehicle a buff and shine. Hoping to get inspired for a name on the way down. (Other vehicles have been Otto and Manwell for our two Scions which were an automatic and stick, respectively. Vader for our Jet Black Toyota Sienna..) Phoebe is still sleeping. Waiting for the nurse to arrive while I pour myself a cup of ambition. 13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted March 10, 2023 #213 Share Posted March 10, 2023 When we were in the planning stages of this cruise we thought about what to do on Cococay. Last time we were there we booked the beach club. That day was relaxing and fun lounging, eating, drinking….This year we decided to just walk the beaches, swim and take in the “freebie” stuff. Then pick up shells and stones and be creative. I want to leave a momento behind for all to enjoy. Look forward to my posting of my crafty skills Monday evening. Be safe. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 bags packed so far 😲and "miles to go before I sleep", lol! Like others, we decided to come in a day early since we are driving down from North Florida (about 5-6 hours). Add to that Sunday will be Daylight Savings time. "Sweetheart? Wanna get up at 3 AM to drive down to Miami on Sunday? It'll be F-U-N!"... uhm, NO! So we will head down Saturday morning taking care to "Watch out for Motorcycles" as we pass Daytona Beach. Yes, it is Bike Week and hopefully we are leaving early enough to miss the motorcycle exodus on I-95 South from Bike Week in Daytona. Can't wait to board and meet all the personalities who are sure to be part of this group! We will be the ones pushing a little girl in a chair, who should have a huge grin on her face! See you there! I am 100 steps from A1A in Ormond Beach and I WILL BE GOING SOMEWHERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!!!!!! Maybe Bella Part 2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted March 10, 2023 #216 Share Posted March 10, 2023 18 hours ago, Sea Dog said: Packing and organizing is continuing. Most that know me here know that I have the same gene that @singinalot has and that is one of precision planning and organizing. I'm not OCD, I'm CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order - as they should be. I always make a schedule pre-cruise. Now of course everything is subject to change as I schedule my spontaneity 2 weeks in advance but I like seeing the whole week in front of me. Not to mention when I go to get specialty restaurant reservations on embarkation day. Here is what the week is looking like for me and Mrs. Sea Dog. 4 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should clarify what I was going to substitute the sea glass for in the event there are slim pickings. To explain. Awhile back we started throwing all loose change in a jar, then a tupper ware bowl and then a water jug. So I thought. Hmmm. Why don’t we ( me) take it on the cruise. Use it to gamble. And then take and do a sand art on the sandy beach. So. I was reminded that slot machines except that money pull do not take coins. But more importantly. We are not taking all that extra weight in a suitcase. Besides it has to weigh about 15 pounds. So now I have to rationalize. We do not have to put it in a suitcase. We can use your back pack. Not going to happen. Time to roll out the coin counter. Hey! Asserts for June cruise. Ok. Time to accomplish something since spouse due home at 11:30. And he knows how hard I am slaving getting everything ready for our cruise. Lionesss 10:39 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ground crew were loading the luggage somehow Owen made a connection with the ground crew. He showed them some text on his phone, which I can’t post for the fear of playing monopoly, but it made them all laugh. From there they waved at each other, showed messages back and forth. Owen and the one crew member are now Snap Chat Friends. All from boarding to push back. Here is a bit of what I can show. They were hyping each other up in the last bit of the video. Have to say they made each other’s night, and I bet they both will be chatting about it for a while. He's going to have a fine career as a politician or PR rep. 😄 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
