All the laundry from the trip is clean and put away, and it's nothing but work work work until at least Easter, when I plan to take a little land trip to Florida to visit friends... 😥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Von & John Posted January 27 #2655 Share Posted January 27 (edited) @sid_9169 I know the Tribe Cruise is over & done... Just returning to the real world from Bethel and starting your Review... Hope you had an amazing Cruise & Thanks for the "Live"/Not so Live for me Review. Only 107 Pages to Go 🙂 Cheers -- Von Edited January 27 by Von & John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted January 28 Author #2656 Share Posted January 28 Well, that time has come again for me to show my gratitude to all of you great people out there who were a huge part of this wild and crazy adventure... Extra special thanks to cml4958 for keeping up with the list from the very beginning. Without their help, this would've taken probably an entire extra month for me to accomplish on my own. Without you loyal readers out there, I would have no reason to even attempt this at all. And, if this does indeed end up being my "final" big Live Review, then at least you can say I went out with a bang on this once in a lifetime trip with all the other great Tribe members both on board, and those who followed along from home. Each and every one of you hold a special place in my heart. So, without further adieu, I give to you the official, better late than never, in order of first appearance thank you list for the Tribe cruise...

Crusin Karen Posted January 31 #2663 Share Posted January 31 Sid, I don’t think I pushed the “follow” button and didn’t comment but I’ve been reading your review a few pages at a time past 2 weeks. I LOVE OSJ and your pictures make me excited to be returning in March. I’ve also read all your other reviews and I salute you-I’m a drinker but you had me tripping over my feet just looking at your cocktails! Never had a drop of tequila. And you got to go on a cruise with my fellow New Jersey citizens Jamman and Patti. 👍 I also clean my cabin and make my bed. And cruise solo (past 3 cruises and future booked cruises) Good luck to you and thanks for taking me along on all your journies! 👏I’ll look for all your “landmarks” in San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noworkforme23 Posted February 4 #2668 Share Posted February 4 On 1/21/2024 at 6:11 AM, blarko said: Yes! That’s one thing that I really dislike about cruising. Actually that’s probably the only thing…. That is why I fly home the day after the cruise and not the day of the return of the cruise. Which was a a blessing in December 2023 when our cruise ship was delayed 5 hours in docking at Miami. So many stressed travelers. We will only cruise now when we fly in before and fly home after, one day before / after our cruise. We were the last ones off the ship practically and it was so nice and relaxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Cowgirl Posted February 14 #2670 Share Posted February 14 I think you are happier than you realize. Always good to make changes when necessary. But sometimes people don’t realize they are happy, or were happy, until something else happens to them. And something always does. I agree that less alcohol is always better, but that’s habitual more than anything. You will have to replace it with something else to cut down on it. Yoga maybe? Something for relaxation. And if you want to write for a living, write. But maybe you don’t want your passion to be your source of income? I know a lot of people say do what you love for work, but I am contrarian. Anyway, thanks for the review. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely scenario is doing a "small live" and spending 90% of my time "on vacation" instead of typing and uploading pictures... I've been doing these things since 2017, and realized that I spent God knows how many thousands of dollars, then spent most of my time doing the "review"...

Anyway, thanks for the review. I would really like to be able to make a living writing, but it's a tough business to make money in. I also dabble in painting, but also don't make anything doing that either. You've heard the term "starving artist" before I assume. Even if it could just be side income, I'd be satisfied, and not feel like I'm just spinning my wheels doing these things for nothing...

Take some pictures, keep a little notebook with you so you can write down thoughts and events each day then write a review when you get home. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
