Rare ceilidh1 Posted April 29 #151 Share Posted April 29 Last time we were in Ketchikan we discovered a new gin distillery which was very cool! They have free samples, great cocktails, and you can see the huge distillery operation they have going on! www.Unchartedak.com 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted April 29 Author #154 Share Posted April 29 For those of you with technological prowess and a modicum of interest, please follow @mking8288’s current live review from the Prima. He has enough equipment to receive signals from other planets and to safely dock the Prima in a blackout. His Operation Zebra is impressive! In contrast, I present to you Operation Warthog. I had to search my own phone to find out what I have then of course discovered I couldn’t take a photo of my own phone. So you get this. 1 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted April 29 Author #155 Share Posted April 29 Still not packed. I realized I couldn’t go on a cruise without a book. I started reading this a couple nights ago but it’s just too sad and too close to home. Exquisite writing though. Then I thought about packing this book, which I’m also reading and am loving but I like to leave books behind on the ‘take a book, leave a book shelf’ to make room for huckleberry truffles in the suitcase and I want to keep this book. The grade 7 teachers gave it to me as a gift and they signed it. So now I’m taking this book which I “borrowed” from the library at my dad’s senior’s home. It’s a great little library! The books aren’t catalogued and they don’t have spine labels. The selection changes constantly with people taking and leaving books. I have been volunteering in this library since my dad moved in and now I am the only person who maintains it. Today when we walked by the library I peeked in and said “oh, the library is looking really good.” My dad said “yes, there’s a committee now.” It’s me. I’m the library committee. 16 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles everywhere!!! I swear I'm going to get one of those auto bubble machines, but that might take away the joy of blowing them. Don't worry, I'm also here for your wit, charm, sarcasm, and grumpiness! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenatorsFan Posted April 29 #158 Share Posted April 29 I'm on hold for "Crying in H Mart" but I have read "The Family Remains," and enjoyed it. Hope you will, too. Happy Cruise Day! 😀 Blow lots of bubbles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikiPinkston Posted April 29 #160 Share Posted April 29 Your helping Dad pack reminds me of the time DH packed himself and brought five black t-shirts, so it looked like he was wearing the same shirt every day! (I now do his packing.)😁 I'm excited to read your upcoming Princess live as we'll probably jump ship at some point to do an L.A. to Hawaii trans-Pacific & Princess is our #1 choice. Happy embarkation day! We'll be sailing on the Sun out of Seattle in a couple of weeks and I'm excited to read about your adventures.🚢❤️Have an amazing cruise! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted April 29 #163 Share Posted April 29 Prayers for a smooth embarkation this morning. With 3 ships docked at Canada Place, it could be interesting.

Cruise was canceled Saturday with all passengers leaving yesterday. I was hoping they would g et Her moved this morning.

Rare YVRteacher Posted April 29 Author #165 Share Posted April 29 It’s cruise day!!! I’m bursting with happy excitement! It’s time to say farewell to Emotional Support Ostrich and drive to my dad’s.

zqvol Posted April 29 #168 Share Posted April 29 24 minutes ago, YVRteacher said: Thank you, Mandy! I wonder why the Radiance was cancelled? Radiance is having mechanical issues. It lost two ports on its last cruise and can’t keep its speed up to make the run to the Alaskan ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much planning Alaskan cruise for a group of 9 and think this would be great to get everyone on the same page Here is my full document (I am combining it, instead of having multiple documents for each tab.) each tab should be self explanatory. I left information from previous trips (nothing that cant be shared), so you see how i did it. Do it how it works for you. I change it all the time... The calendar does have some date formulas, not REALLY fully correct, but they work...that top line is funky. If you or anyone has any questions on it let me know cruise critic moniker at gee mail Travel Itinerary.xls 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
