Is this Kennedy's space center? or Rocket Center at Huntsville?

Kennedy, sorry for the mix up. I was morning multitasking

 

[Figgy1]

Well, I have to fly home tonight. Technically to Denver and then to DC, but home. Sad that vacation is ending and it's back to reality. Not sorry to be getting off my allergy meds since it's summer in MD and I don't need them back home whereas I'm on double doses here.

Safe travels and try and sleep on the plane

@21stamps You were right to cancel your DR trip. Another American died there.

^^^^This, there's wayyy toooo many unknowns at this point

 

[Figgy1]

Someone go to work tomorrow for me because I REALLY dont want to, lol.

Raises hand high in the air as long as you do my workout and chores

 

[Dead2009]

Thats fine by me lol. Hope you can drive a forklift!

He said he felt claustrophobic.

Sorry, meant to respond to this post yesterday, but, got distracted...
I have never been prone to claustrophobia anyway, so I had no problems whatsoever, in that regard. DWifey can get that way a bit sometimes, but, not very often. Even though she is a mildly nervous flyer, it’s not because she’s sealed inside a metal tube hurtling through the sky at 35,000ft. doing over 550mph...it’s because she feels helpless by not being in control.
Did you have a stateroom with a balcony on y’all’s last cruise, or was it an inside stateroom...?
I can’t remember if y’all took a DCL Cruise, but, they, and many other lines, have had virtual portholes (a live camera feed from the side of the ship) for many years now in their inside staterooms. That may, or may not, make a difference.
If it was just an overall ship thing, then that is a whole different animal, as, to us anyway, the ships are spacious and open and feel pretty much like a little, floating, city...!!!!!!!

A pic (that I’ve posted before from our July of ‘18 cruise) of the moon over the Caribbean that I took at 4:36a...!!!!!!!!



Funny thing is, I actually didn’t do a lot of sleeping during either cruise, and the dear Lord knows I tried. But, although I was very relaxed, I was also energized about it all at the same time. Just such great, relaxin’ cruisin’ in every way...!!!!!!!
Can’t wait for our October cruise...!!!!!!!

Makes sense, as I’ve had people talk about me in front of my back, and just belched...!!!

 

[Goofyernmost]

Yep, it ain’t no Alaska, but, Texas is still a pretty big state...!!!

It must have hurt to say that. I'm old enough to remember when Texas was the largest state and then all of a sudden, BAM, the stool was kicked right out from under you. I was 11 in 1959. Alaska and Hawaii in rapid succession.

 

[donaldtoo]

The fact that its now different resorts and they are all tourists... Makes you wonder if ONLY the food that tourists eat was tainted.. or worse.. poisoned

I’ve held off on commenting regarding all of this so far, but, how can this be anything other than some organized ring of serial killers/terrorists...?!
All Americans, so many different resorts, yet all in relatively close proximity to each other, from what I understand.
Also, from what I understand, us “Dirty Americans” make up approximately 1/3rd of the DRs annual tourism visitors. Who, and why, would want to tank that much revenue...?!?!?!
At this point, I would stay as far away from that place as possible.

Nice try sport, but, I wasn’t even born then, so no pain at all, or twisted up skin off my fat ol’ rear...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

That's why when I go overseas, I plan to tell people I'm Canadian.

Even though your passport will say otherwise...?!

Okay, so this is going to sound ridiculous, but dh were arguing about the bean farting poem. I learned it as “Beans, beans they’re good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart. , etc”. He says I am wrong and he learned it as “Eat beans, they’re good for your heart.” So who is right? Is this a geographical thing?? Or what?

OK... I may be totally late on this as I've been off the week, but our saying here is, "beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, and that's what makes beans so ideal."

 

[donaldtoo]

Our weather a few minutes ago...!!!!!!!

 

[Rista1313]

OK... I give on trying to catch up.... so did I miss anything profound?

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I’m out for tonight, and back to the grind tomorrow...!!!
The sweetest of dreams/mornin’ to one and all of y’all...!!!!!
And...........live long and prosper, and sweet gyroplaning dreams to one and all...!!!!!!!!!!!

So I got stuck in a rip current.

I was out snorkeling in the lagoon at Aulani in an area that's normally fine when I got pulled out all of the sudden. I was busy looking at fish (there were a lot) when I realized I wasn't where I was supposed to be. Started getting pulled out to sea. Thankfully, I was near some rocks, so I swam diagonally towards the rocks and was able to pull myself out.

Anyway, good to know my parents got their money's worth out of the nine years of swim lessons.

That Yorkshire pudding looks a bit odd, did it taste okay?

Canadians too if I remember correctly, 2 dead and someone from Europe as well if I read correctly.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

how much you think someone needs to set aside (as budget) to a trip like this one?
I really have this bucketlist of going there :>

It’s probably on par, maybe a bit more expensive, with our Two week WDW trip last year.
