What else was going on in August, 44 years ago?

 

Oh, yeah, this was……..

 

 

This lovely couple got married, and took that cruise for a honeymoon.  So on boarding day, on Friday, we celebrate our 44th anniversary. 

[BonTexasNY]

Have a wonderful cruise and a Happy Anniversary.  Looking forward to reading about new adventures with your family.  Hopefully, Daryl will stay out of trouble. 😉

Let's go Daryl!  Should be a great cruise.

 

Looks like you will soon be giving @Sea Dog Greg a run for his money Mark when it comes to videos. 👍

[helen haywood]

Minnie and Diana and I will be anxious to hear what Daryl gets up to!  Following!

Welcome aboard, Greg.  No specialty restaurants this cruise. I will be looking at this from a new perspective, with the grandkids along.  
 

We thought about booking the railway, but they advise against it for those susceptible to motion sickness.  Didn’t want to tempt fate.  

Makes sense. Does Daryl have the deluxe drink package?😉

Competition is always welcomed.

Thanks for taking the time to do a live.  We have a couple joining us on Utopia later. It will be their 1st cruise.   They will have 2 GKs with them so I will be looking forward to see how your GKs enjoy Utopia. 

[DelMom18a]

Happy Anniversary!  Have a wonderful time, I can't wait to read all of it!

[DaniDanielle]

Happy Anniversary!

[StanleyandGus]

Congratulations on your anniversary! Looking forward to the trip report, and Daryl is quite a dapper…, ummm…llama?

Knowing Daryl, that might be wishful thinking.

I seem to recall appropriating Greg’s video idea, and beating him to the punch on one of my earlier Lives.  Does that mean he is giving me a run for my money?  Time to step up the game. 😁

I would not contribute to his delinquency.  Although he may go visit that Pesky Parrot.

Don't worry with two knee replacements my running is reduced to walking.😉

Happy Anniversary 🥂💐

Excited to see what Daryl gets into this cruise.

Don't forget to pack all your ducks😁

Safe travels to All tomorrow.

[perfect match]

Yay! Daryl is on another cruise, and he’s taking his family along with him! I love Daryl’s antics, so I hope he finds plenty of harmless, fun trouble to get into. 🤣

 

I loved your video so much I even stopped it to read the credits. 😃

 

We will be on Utopia in January so I’m excited to be following you on  this cruise! 🤩

Speaking of ducks!!  Yes, we are going to be some crazy duckers this cruise.  
 

After all my hard work collecting ducks,

 

 

Susan told me those would be too small. So she found some of these ducks that light up. 
 

 

Of course, Daryl wanted to be on the tag. 
 

 

Somehow, I think a few of these may find their way back home with the grandkids.  

[h20skibum]

Thanks to all who are following and commenting.  
 

After staying up late to finish packing, I am up long before I need to be.  
 

It is getting closer……

 

Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit.  We need all the luck we can get.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.  Been awake since 2:30 am

 

After following along,  I'm getting excited about cruising on Utopia.  Then I realize, nope, that's not me. I'm on little sister Adventure OTS 😜

Here for the adventure. ✅

[h20skibum]

Today is travel day.  Time to load the suitcases and backpacks in the SUV.   Our original plan was to all travel to the airport in our Highlander because it has seating for eight.  But after six of us traveled to fly to Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago, we realized we would not all fit with our large suitcases.  So now, we are in two vehicles for the drive to Pittsburgh airport.  

 

Trouble already

 

 

 

 

Now that the kids are older, they are always jockeying for the shotgun seat, or as I call it, the death seat!

 

I expected that of them, but not Daryl. 

[h20skibum]

Pittsburgh airport has been undergoing a major construction project that makes things a real mess getting in and out. 

 

When we flew back from California a couple months ago, we noticed how often one of the off site shuttles came by as we waited four our hotel shuttle. So we decided to give Fast Park and Relax a try when we traveled to Myrtle Beach.  I was surprised how quick and easy this was, and it was half the cost of airport parking.  We pre booked our parking reservation.   For anyone flying from Pittsburgh, I highly recommend them. 
 

The kids were amused that the driver’s name was Ricky.
