When are you leaving for your cruise? Is it the end of this week, or next?

Week after next...the 21st through the 27th...we are sooooo excited...!!!!!!!
I LOVE being out in the middle of the ocean most...such a great feeling of being disconnected...!!!!!
Ports of call are fun too, of course, and we just can't wait...the best decompression time I've EVER had in my entire life...especially the sea days. Just...

Will it be the same route as the last one, or will there be new ports of call?

MUST........RESTRAIN................
But.......

Jamaica and Grand Cayman will be new (the last cruise we did Costa Maya, Belize, and Cozumel) but, Cozumel will be a repeat, but, that's OK with us 'cause we loved it so much the first time...!!!!!!!
For MIL, DWifeys aunt, and our niece, it will be their first cruise, and they are very much looking forward to it...!!!!!
We have a coupla' excursions planned, but, most of it is very chill, and that's really all we wanna' do...!!!!!

We have an alley not 3 minutes away. It really needs a renovation, but kids do seem to still like it. Only $5 with shoe rental.

We have a Main Event about that far away, and a regular bowling alley about 10 min. down the road.
We just haven't been to either in quite a while.
We need to schedule another family bowling night shortly after we get back from our cruise...!!!

@figmentfan423 I saw this and thought of you. It was only about $400!

I love that! Not the price though.

You’re not the only one here that doesn’t imbibe the bean from the coffee plant. I don’t either.

Yep, neither do Dwifey and myself.
It's not like we've never had coffee before, as we both have, but, we have just never felt a need for it, and I can't even remember the last time either of us had a sip, much less a cup of the stuff.
Funny thing is, all 3 of our kiddos love coffee...!!!!!

Went to DC today. A group of friends went.

We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. My one friend and I broke off from the group and were wandering. As we're in the Egyptian Mummy exhibit, I decide to whisper "I see dead people." Queue my friend doubling over in laugher in the middle of the exhibit. Also, somehow I got stuck in the door of the metro. No idea how it happened. One thing is certain...this could only happen to me.

I've only got one pic on my phone. You'll have to wait for me to get the rest off of my SLR.

My island...!!!!!!!!!!! 🏝

 

[BuddyThomas]

This was hanging in the bathroom of a Long Island winery that we visited today. I took a picture of it to make sure I was not hallucinating after 16,000 wine tastings. What does this mean?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[donaldtoo]

About that position for live in cook/smoker manager, I can start yesterday

 

[donaldtoo]

Oh my dear, get inside to some a/c. You're exhibiting signs of heat stroke (it's the mind goes first . . .)

I wonder which goes first...the baking mind or the freezing mind...?

 

[donaldtoo]

Hee, hee . . . we are their whole world, you know. Reminds me of Jack every weekend when I'm home for most of the days. He follows me around everywhere, getting underfoot constantly (in his dog mind, I think he's trying to block me from leaving the house).

He misses all the steaks you feed him...!

I have 5 minutes left and then we have to head back to the tour bus. Our days that we got off the boat were all excellent days. Alaskans keep telling us how lucky we have been. Sunshine and 80F two days in a row. Yesterday our final day was cool and foggy but it was a day at sea ...no port of call. Today in Anchorage is sunny and in the low 60s.

Last night in Alaska. At a restaurant near our final hotel....we are in Anchorage. Let me try to post some photos

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I'm out...!
Y'all be cool...!!!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!!!!!

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

Obviously the previous photo and the future photos are not Anchorage photos.....just random photos from our now ending Alaskan vacation.

Another one. A Dinner Theater in Denali.
