Rare rafinmd Posted February 8 #79 Share Posted February 8 I just looked at my calendar and noticed today I was supposed to have boarded Cunard's Queen Anne in Fort Lauderdale. That's Cunard's equivalent of Rotterdam 7. I would not have been in a position to take the cruise but in any case I don't think the ship has even gotten to the stage of sea trials yet.

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted February 8 #80 Share Posted February 8 Good afternoon from Maui. E e just got back to town from Haleakala. We were ahead of the traffic going up.

1ANGELCAT Posted February 8 #81 Share Posted February 8 I’m sad to say I have had more bad news today. My dear friend Lynda whose husband Bill passed 3 days before Christmas, has joined him in heaven. She passed this afternoon, after her cancer returned with a vengeance. 💔🙏 7 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kochleffel Posted February 9 #82 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I'm celebrating my release from post-surgical jail with a Corpse Reviver No. 2, which was the drink of the day on Monday. I have three hours of class on Thursday afternoon and usually need to be revived after that. The course assignment today was a five-minute account of involvement with nature in childhood. I wrote about playing in the dirt. Edited February 9 by kochleffel 15 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenda DH says they are actually Grey francolin aka manu moa or chicken birds. Google thinks it’s a chukar partridge. We hand fed one last year. This is a nene.

Rare Nickelpenny Posted February 9 #87 Share Posted February 9 5 hours ago, Sharon in AZ said: Good morning and Happy Thursday from the beautiful Koningsdam docked in Kahului, Maui. Yesterday I went on the HOHO trolley and it was so beautiful. It was the line that went to Koko Head and further to Hunama Bay, the blow hole, and Sea Life Park. I stayed on the entire time. And the wind! I didn’t think I was going to have any hair left. Today we are walking around and have plans to go to a little cafe owned by a Top Chef participant, Sheldon Simeon. It should be fun. I’m looking forward to having his macaroni salad. Last night we went to Club Orange for dinner with another couple we’ve been talking to at the Ocean Bar. They are from Montreal but the DH is originally from the Saguenay area and the DW originally from the Quebec City area. I love it when she says oui oui. Lots of fun. Pennie @Nickelpenny, I was so heartbroken to hear about the baby zebra. I spoke with my DM and she said that there was snow halfway down the Catalinas. I bet it’s beautiful. Well, I’ve been writing this off and on for over an hour and we need to head out. Have a great day everyone! It is!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisercl Posted February 9 #90 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Good day everyone from the Volendam! We are currently at sea on our way to Darwin, AUS (on the AUS/NZ GV). Another beautiful day in paradise, mid-80's, light breeze. This has been great fun... Today our group of Dailyites is having dinner at the Canaletto. These dinners are always fun because they are very nice and fun people 😉. As @Cruising-along, Carolyn said, Komodo island was cool to see but was hot, hot, hot! One and done for me. Currently it is Friday, Feb 9th at 11:50 am. The time differences are a challenge to keep up with though I think I have a bit of a mush brain after being on a nice cruise for a month! No real responsibilities and people who take care of us. Again the memes made me LOL, probably getting looks from other passengers. 😜 Take good care everyone. Safe travels to all traveling. Prayers for everyone especially those with challenges 🙏. Also, my thanks to all contributors. Caron Edited February 9 by Cruisercl 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted February 9 #91 Share Posted February 9 Three days of zoom meetings, very little actual work because of coughing. Tomorrow I owe the man hours. I did tell him however that if i was not better, it's off to the Urgent Care. Not sure I'm urgent, but I am certainly the same. Cant make money if I dont work. I think I am jealous of DH as he has a month off, and has no idea of what to do with himself. I cant make a honey do list, if I do, he will constantly ask me if he is doing it right. So i keep my mouth shut. Maybe he can start going back to the senior center. But he is not a morning person. I would love to go back and start taking art classes again. Of course with this cough, no one wants me around them anyway. we went out for lunch and dinner today, and i found out that Chick fil A sells waffle potato chips. Hearty and crunchy and not salty. I was thinking they would stand up well to a good crab dip, so that will be my make it treat for the game on Sunday. Good excuse to make crab dip anyway. Will need to pick up ingredients Saturday night, as tomorrow I am taking the rest of that pork roast, throw in the crock pot with pineapple chunks, tomato chunks, and onions and brew me some Q. pulled pork. Have that with mac and cheese (stouffers) and maybe some salad, no wine.🙄 right now I only have NA bubbly. pleasant dreams and safe travels... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did a search and I found something about a thinking traveller? So not sure if that’s the connection. They have an international,voice competition and it is a UNESCO site as well as having one of the top patisseries that was featured on Chefs Table. Cafe Sicilia. I highly recommend a visit. Not to mention the great wine. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted February 9 #93 Share Posted February 9 @Seasick Sailor Joy, DH says thanks for talking about the lemon drop. He's found a new drink to love, depending on which bar he orders it in. @Lady Hudson Katherine, a belayed BON VOYAGE to you and your DH. I'm glad your DSIL appears to be going well.

Lenda Lenda, tell the bartender you want a fresh squeezed lemon drop, no lemon "mix". Your DH should have 4 squeezed lemons. I also order mine on the rocks if by the pools. They are addicting! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare erewhon Posted February 9 #95 Share Posted February 9 Thanks for all the daily information. Today delivered Meals on Wheels, then this afternoon visited the Port to have a look at Vasco Da Gama, formerly Statendam. Seeing her bought back good memories of our 28 days on board when we cruised the Panama Canal, San Diego to Fort Lauderdale return to San Diego. Also in port was the Royal Princess, a monster alongside the smaller ship! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted February 9 #96 Share Posted February 9 Good evening. We had a full day. After we left Haleakala, we drove over to Lahaina. Of course, we couldn't get close to the town, but could see the devastation, it was heart breaking. I took some pictures, but I will not be posting them. We could still smell the fire smell. @smitty34877 Terry, I'm glad you got some help last night and some rest. Tana's fever is worrying, and I hope the nurse has some answers to reduce it. @Nickelpenny Pennie, that is sad news about the baby zebra. @Sharon in AZ we saw Craig last night, and heard about your adventures with the trolley. It was definitely not a tour. 3 hours ago, 1ANGELCAT said: I’m sad to say I have had more bad news today.
