So delicious! Google needs to allow an -ish on opening times. I want to put 5pm-ish for our closing time at work as we close earlier of it’s deadly quiet or if it’s been a busy day and we get a lull at 4.50pm-ish. The local chippers all have ish beside their opening times on their windows here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1352 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I love how people say "have a safe flight!"... That's really up to God, the pilot, and the aircraft maintenance team... I've got nothing to do either way with it... 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1353 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'm thinking that our new departure time isn't happening either... The plane hasn't even landed yet, and they have to deplane, get out all the luggage, clean the plane, ECT... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1354 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Just as I typed that, our plane pulled up... Please God, just let me get home soon!!!... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect taking the same ship to the same ports four times in the last couple of years may feel like a "Been there, done that" experience. If you don't want to jump out of your east coast nest have you thought about a Canada/New England cruise just to mix things up?. Amtak or plane to NYC>over night play day in Manhattan>board the ship>fly home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1359 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Alright, I'm in my seat and my bag is stashed. Now, if everyone else can do the same I might get home today while it's still daylight... As a bonus, I've got an average sized human on both sides, so nobody is spilling over into my area... 14 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me feel better about their Deep Blue Extras... I also picked up a bottle of cologne last night before bed for $88 after I noticed that they never charged me for the sixty dollar shot of tequila... Bonus! If my onboard spending ever dipped below 4 digits, I’d cruise more often! I can’t imagine a bill that’s only 2 digits. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1362 Share Posted May 26, 2023 It's currently exactly our "new takeoff time" and people are still filing into the plane... At least they're not having to do an emergency tire and brakes change while we sit here like on the way down here... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1363 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Now they're saying that to avoid some weather, we're going to be flying East towards the Bahamas before going North to Atlanta... I should've just got a hotel room... 4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ll pose that question in the Tribe - which Caribbean island is your ultimate happy place? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really up to God, the pilot, and the aircraft maintenance team... I've got nothing to do either way with it... As far as I'm concerned, when I say it I mean "Please God, let the flight arrive safely." So I'll take every "have a safe flight" I can get. I really have a deep-seated fear of flying. I just am able to push it way down in my consciousness... unless there is turbulence. Then I silently cry if it lasts too long. A drink and/or a Xanax really helps me! 🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #1371 Share Posted May 26, 2023 On the floor in Atlanta, and hopefully I can actually make it home before 9:00... The girl next to me on the plane is sick, so hopefully I haven't caught whatever cooties she's infected with... I guess that we'll find out in a few days... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetardis Posted May 27, 2023 #1373 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Got someone’s cooties on the way home from my cruise…2weeks ago…still trying to get over it…cross your fingers and say a prayer Sid! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 27, 2023 Author #1374 Share Posted May 27, 2023 All of my Breeze cards turned out to be empty, so I had to go to the machine and add value to one of them... Seconds later I was on the escalator up to the train... With a bit of luck I'll be at Lindbergh station in about a half hour, then with a little more luck I can catch an Uber quickly the rest of the way home... Probably not going to make it by 9:00, but a few minutes after. Fingers crossed... Plan when I get home: take a quick shower, and start getting ready for bed... Maybe one shot of tequila to take the edge off this long long day... 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
