Inaugural Cruise! June 3rd 2012! BREEZE ROLL CALL Pt 4

[MaximusCruiser]

Don't know why I never find "help" all that helpful. Especially giving directions to other pages, without allowing us the means to communicate first.

May I suggest that the moderators give a 1-3 day warning before closing any thread? The last 2 times, at least a new thread was created.... not this time. I wonder what the forum is for if you are discouraging active discussions.

I created this page to make sure our group stay in touch... and if we have to move to somewhere else, at least let us have the opportunity to discuss where.

[WiggleBay]

thanks Joe.

Feeling a bit better. Michael & I are still on antibotics. So glad to meet you and everyone else. Had a great cruise thanks to our new friends

[Jrabbit128]

Wow I cant believe we are on a part 4 lol!

[enjoyinglife]

Ceri, hope you and ur hubby get better really fast!

Michelle, part 4 - wow...I just wish teh moderators would have created and added the link!

[themnms]

well hello everyone!! Thank goodness I found you!! Glad some of you are feeling better!!

Luckily our sickness happened on the way there. The two days before we left Melissa was really sick!! Took until we hit the ship for her to feel better!!

[themnms]

Meant to ask what everyone else is up to? We have a major heat wave here so hmnn Melissa n I spent the first two days sat on sofa in the bedroom watching TV!! Had to work today but I guess I have to to save for the next trips!!

What perfect timing to feel better! LOL Are you sure she wasn't just having cruise ship withdrawls?

I wonder if I can get harry to believe that all my illnesses and aches are from the need to be on another cruise ship? ;)

I worked on getting my business started and am taking a break before going back to it again!

Oh and I bought a music cd when in Sicily and I have listened to it for two days...all instrumental. I belive I am ADD and music helps me focus better. Yesterday, I listened to it for the whole day and by the end of the day, Harry told me he couldnt take it anymore, please turn it off, so I did. I also stopped working though! LOL I just turned it back on! Its my sign to go back to work!

Welcome!!!

LOL - I guess so! He really would have died if he had to share a room with me when I was doing apperwork at school because I was stuck on Michael Buble and this insturmental Godfather music is probably easier to drown out than Michael Buble!!! lol

where's Tom? With his easy days since he's retired and no longer researching the cruise, I expected to see him a little more!

One of these days, Tom, I will email that picture to you!!!! LOL:D;):p

Hi Cheri,

Glad you are feeling better. Missed you on the last night of drinks... did not get a chance to say good bye.

You are great gal with a great spirit. Thanks for the arm bands and all the arrangements onboard.



For everyone.... if you have a smartphone, try to download an app called Viper. It serves more or less the same function as Skype which means you can call or text anyone in the world for free as long as you have internet access and the other person also has Viper. The main advantage is that Viper is connected to your contact list on your phone, and is able to tell you if your contacts are on Viper as well. You don't have to log in like on Skype.

My number 065-97565303. :)

What picture??? E-mail it to me and I will post it up!! :D

[Cashya]

Wow part 4! :)

Joe I already have whatsapp which allow to text and send pics and videos but not calling. It's a nice app, but I will checkout viper too.

First week at work is always horror but now it's over and now it will gets better. But I think Uli and I should decide if we want to book a cruise(baltics..)real soon, I need a vacation on my mind. ;)
I think we would have already booked if it would be the english islands, but the baltics we are not sure.. Mhm

Is whatsapp for iphones? I don't have that. Oh well.

I can't think of another vacation, especially when I just got back... I will have to work hard first. Vacation for me, given my flexible timing, can be planning in a short time, or no planning at all. We'll see. :)

[Cashya]

Joe yes it is available for iPhones but also for android and other smartphone systems.

We don't need to plan for a year but I like the thought of knowing there is a vacation in my future :)
But I don't think we will book anytime soon, maybe in fall. I really wish I would live near to a carnival cruise port!

[Traceyjayne]

I started antibiotics a few days ago as cough was worse now feeling a bit better
HoPe everyone else feels better too
At least Luke and Eric managed to escape it!

[njsbrown]

Good morning friends!

Thanks Joe, for setting up this thread.

Cheri, glad you and Michael are on the mend. Sorry I missed your call~~left my cell phone at home yesterday. Are you off today?

Sure hope all the sickies are getting better. I still have this miserable cold, it's better, but not gone yet.

So, where are we going next? I would love to do the Baltics, but if I do, it'll only be me~~can't afford to take the whole family. Anyone thinking of anything closer to home?

Morning Nance.

You saw the picture I posted on you and Cheri on facebook? Can you post for a picture or what?! ;)

Not sure about the Baltics for me. July is typically a bad time for me since there will be events for me to handle.

I have been looking at those transatlantic cruises... very tempting with lots of sea days (to do some R&R) and exotic ports. Flights are a challenge though. More or less I have to fly to or from Miami. LONG Flight. If I do so, would definitely want to drop by NY on the way. :)

[enjoyinglife]

What picture??? E-mail it to me and I will post it up!! :D


How sweet Joe! If I have others to put up, I will have to email them to you also to put up. I missed "seeing" you on here. Glad things are sorted out with your business!

Good morning Nancy - we will probably do Alaska next year but not sure when. I did tell Harry the different ships that sail there and he wants to stick with Carnival since we are already platinuim.

For anyone who has already done the Alaskan cruise, when it says, "cruising glacier bay" etc, that just means that you can watch from your balcony or elsewhere on the ship - correct? We would not be getting off the ship to cruise the bay, correct? And how long does that take? I dont like to assume, and trust you guys to answer me without thinking it is too much of dumb questions!

[MaximusCruiser]

JOe, is that your Viper number only or your cell number?


That's my cell number. The good thing about Viper is that you don't have to create a separate number or account.

[MaximusCruiser]

Yep, just saw it and tagged it, of course I tagged it wrong and don't know how to fix it. Oh well.
Not sure where I'll go next. Kate, Christen and I are going on a 4 day on the Destiny in January. Need to get in 2 cruises in the next year to get to Platinum.

Morning Nance, I am planning to do the Baltics next summer (prob just me and Herbert), and a spring cruise with the family. We don't have many options fron SoCal (Mexico or Mexico)... Post your plans when you decide, you never know who may join you :)

[enjoyinglife]

That's my cell number. The good thing about Viper is that you don't have to create a separate number or account.


OK thanks! Are you happy to be living by yourself again? hehehe

That should be easy if you are doing short cruises. Where are you flying to in order to get on the destiny? Would there be another short cruise you would like from that same port?

[MaximusCruiser]

By myself, no.

With my dog.... absolutely!! :D

Wish I had gotten with the program sooner... Platinum is not in my near future...

We booked a Caribbean cruise a few days ago on the Glory. However, the airfare to Miami were outrageous for the holiday week (Thanksgiving) so guess what??? We're now sailing on Dec. 8th on the Breeze again! Yay! :D

Joe, you need to find a nice girl, settle down and have babies:p


I wish!! Don't worry... my dog is not a substitute. Not sure about the babies part, but I am still looking, for sure. :)

I have taken the first step by creating an online profile. The rest is up to fate, I guess. :o

Don't expect beauty queens... just someone that gets me... and makes me do silly things. :rolleyes:

There is a Chinese saying.... "In life, opportunities to be truly silly are rare and far between. Treasure it."

[GlendaleCruiser]

We would not be getting off the ship to cruise the bay, correct? And how long does that take? I don't like to assume, and trust you guys to answer me without thinking it is too much of dumb questions!

You are correct. You watch the glaciers from the ship and you will get off at coastal cities for excursions (Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway). Most cruises are 7-days through there. We had a balcony the last time and it was a waste because it was shaded which made it way too cold, and limited on view. We actually spent more time on Lido outside listening to the glaciers calve (at Marjorie Glacier) or inside where there were panoramic windows. This time we are taking an inside cabin and spending more time in the public areas.

Thanks for the reply... wont it be really cold to stand outside? Just keep bundling up? :confused: Needing gloves, warm socks, etc.

[travln_isa]

July 15th, a lot of the core group are trying to make it work, including Ruth. July is a tough month for most so we shall see.

Your photos are wonderful Judy! We will be on the Breeze in October, for some of the same ports. Looks like a terrific cruise you had. What place was your favourite? Or is that possible to say??

Oh you just love to add to my misery, don't you, Gwyn? Ok... talk to the hand! :p

Nope... that's not silly. Just being responsible. In any case, I gave up after the first few days. The silly part is to believe her when she says she will just follow my lead.

[njsbrown]

No reason not to believe her~~I'm sure she had great intentions:)

[GlendaleCruiser]

Thanks for the reply... wont it be really cold to stand outside? Just keep bundling up? :confused: Needing gloves, warm socks, etc.


Oh, Absolutely! I am once again expecting to look like a bag lady. I am from Arizona so of course I wore socks, thermal underwear, jeans and flannel shirt, big warm park like coat, wool lined gloves, and a 100% wool hat that came down over my ears. I STILL wrapped a deck blanket around me. It was REALLY cold, but I couldn't resist. When the ship gets close to the glacier the calving sounds like explosions and it's worth it all.

Gwyn... I only wear a cap when it is really cold... so this was how I looked last year while I had to stand outside to admire the glaciers... so what do you think? :rolleyes:

So, where are we going next? I would love to do the Baltics, but if I do, it'll only be me~~can't afford to take the whole family. Anyone thinking of anything closer to home?


Mikey and I are doing a B2B on the Paradise in December. Then we will do another B2B next year to have our platinum.

[MaximusCruiser]

No reason not to believe her~~I'm sure she had great intentions:)


It's delusions, not intentions, Nance. She had great delusions. :rolleyes:

Talk to the hand? I think u hung out with Harry to much! It was a good one though! Lol

[enjoyinglife]

What's B2B?? :confused:

It is when u schedule two cruises in a row. Like had we stayed on the breeze one more trip, we would have done a b2b. One day I may do that!

Joe....it is a Back to Back cruise. When everyone is leaving, we get to keep our luggage in our stateroom for the next voyage.

Tricee, last night before going to bed, I looked at over 1300 pictures we took from the Livorno port day. I guess that is why, but I dreamed that you and Mikey and Harry and I were walking around the town again - wouldn't that be nice!!!! :)

Was that town Greve? I think Greve was the next town. Do you remember the name of the town we walked through taking pictures? Did it begin with an F?

Greve was the bigger town with the square that had all the shops....the meat market, fruit market, wood shop, flower shop, the art store, the cafe with gelato, the bakery, etc.

The name of the little town we walked around in taking pictures was Montefioralle. http://www.montefioralle.info/

[MaximusCruiser]

who could "she" be? shall I guess?


Hmmm... I think it is the same person that based on her "objective" opinion, the blue line is better, even though she was asleep 80% of the time on the red line. Remember?? :D:p

[agavin]

Holy crap... you lot are still chatting in here... I thought for sure this would die out LOL

Everyone back to their regularly scheduled programming?

Thanks... I understand Back to Back.... just wanted to make sure it is not some cruise ship term that I don't know of.

Nice that you guys get to do such cruises.

Greve was the bigger town with the square that had all the shops....the meat market, fruit market, wood shop, flower shop, the art store, the cafe with gelato, the bakery, etc.

The name of the little town we walked around in taking pictures was Montefioralle. http://www.montefioralle.info/

Thanks...I thought Greve was the area we shopped, but wasn't certain. Harry took a picture of the signs in Montefioralle, bought I also saw a sign that started with an F. I had all the confidence that you could straighten me out! LOL! Thanks again!

By the way, thanks for the link. I saved it in my favorites. If I ever get to that part of the world again, I want to go back to Montefioralle and Greve!

Hmmm... I think it is the same person that based on her "objective" opinion, the blue line is better, even though she was asleep 80% of the time on the red line. Remember?? :D:p

FUN!!! I would love to schedule a B2B~~but no one has any vacation left!

Joe I beileive this new one should be better as we will never have to have a 5th part! LOL

See you there!

Editing - horray - this was my 5000th post! I am editing to add this part!

anyway, I went to the new roll call they set up with unlimited amount of posts and it does not allow us to post, so I sent a message to the modirators. Hopefully they will get it and repair the condition.

Joe, if you look at my pictures on FB under the tuscany, (Greve part), you will find the picture there that Tom wanted. You may be able to guess by looking at the picture why I assumed you may NOT want to add it up here! lol But it was kind of you to offer!

thanks Ingrid and Joe! And Joe, I remember when I saw the first MIB show. I thought to myself...r those really dogs - they look pretty strange? And then two friends turned me onto their personalities and size and when I wanted a new dog, it was a pug I wanted. I no longer think they are strange... but I do think it is the breed for me - I am hooked on them!

Pugsy had a MIB suit when he wwas a puppy. He was adorable!

I guess we just click on the one we were last using...part 4? Is that the correct way to do it?

I am not sure if you remember Stefanee asking if anyone had an extra t-shirt since her son tore his. Well I sent her the extra I brought for my sister that opted not to go. I sent it before she paid me, and she has dodged me ever since. Avoided me at the first party and has deleted herself from the Tricee's website. $10 bucks is not going to break me just irrating that I trusted her and she turned out to be a deadbeat!! Sorry needed to vent...back to your regular programing.

Actually, how do you define "avoided me"? Not sure if I met Stefanee. Was she even there at the cocktail party? If she was, why can't you just look for her and remind her?


I try not to call people names like "deadbeat". As you said, $10 is not a big deal so for people to go to this extent to avoid paying? Not that there isn't such people around but to give the benefit of doubt, perhaps she cancelled her cruise and more likely, simply forgot about it?


I know you are just venting. But it could well be just a misunderstanding.

She was there. I met the son wearing the tshirt and her mother. I was told by the grandmother stefanee would come over to the section we were sitting. She did not. She did have my cabin number and I also emailed her when we returned. The email went through the site Tricee created. She has since deactivated her email there. Please tell me what do you call that?

Forgetful perhaps? Yes.. she owes you money so she should have contacted you. But to avoid all doubt, reaching out to her or leaving a message at her cabin might have been a good idea. Otherwise, just based on deactivation from Tricee's website is not full proof...well... at least not to me. Seems like a lot to trouble just to avoid paying $10. At this stage, I still think there is more than one possible explanation. Either way, perhaps Tricee will have her contact details and can help hook you up.

This cold is still hanging on, but much better thanks:) Those back injections worked~~after the first few days I was completely pain free for the entire trip. I'm still without pain most days. Yay!

Hope Gail gets some rest:D Also, please convey to Gail, how much I enjoyed hanging out with her!!

That cold does tend to linger. It's good to hear that your back is feeling much better and the shots worked. Gail is not really a morning person. It usually takes her hours to get moving.:) she's getting caught up now. I will let her know for sure.

Oh my.. this is a but embarrassing. I lied to a few people on the cruise about how fast I dove a car! I totally messed with the conversion km/h to mph, I told I drove 200mph and even though some asked if this is real I said yes but only because I really thought that it was true! But no, I only drove around 155 mph ( i don't think i could stand more)and I'm very sorry and I want to apologize.

That's still very fast to me. The fastest I went was 120mph. But then again, we don't have roads with no speed limits like Germany. ;)

Sorry about Euro 2012. Germany just looked very scattered and did not look like their usual best. :(

Hi guys, Glad to hear you enjoyed the Breeze as we will be on her August 14th.
Can the chefs table be booked prior to embarkation?

Good heavens Marjam~~I don't see much difference once you're going that fast!!! No way would I have the nerve to drive that fast. I think the fastest I've ever driven is 90mph.

Hi Everybody:

Sounds like everyone's pretty much on the mend which is great news. Just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the Breeze cruise and I thought all of you were wonderful people. I enjoyed meeting all of you. I was so ready to stay on the ship and do it all again. :D.

We are just starting to look at where we are going next, but I'm ready to go now.:)

Lesa, how are you doing? We are fine here, and Harry will return to work after two months off for sick leave this Tuesday. I am also looking into what next? and getting ideas!:D

For some reason, Harry lost all the pictures we took up on the wall with you and Jeff! Rats! Maybe one day we will meet again and we can get pictures that way to make up for the lost ones!

He did really good though because he took over 10,000 pictures but only lost the ones on the wall. I think he thought he was finished downloading them and had a glitch that way!

Cant wait to find out good news about how you are doing!

[enjoyinglife]

We asked our son, Myles, if he wanted to go to Alaska next summer if we go. His response - "I dont know. It depends on what I have going at the time. Would I be able to gamble or would the ship stay too close to shore so that I wouldnt be old enough to be in the casino?"

Our answer - "if you are only going to gamble, we can take a short cruise out of new orleans or galveston so you can gamble."

Thats what he wants to do! He is not like his momma who is always ready for a trip, if the check book allows!:D

The storm we had Friday did so much damage. 80 mph winds. Trees down everywhere. Many streets still closed. I was lucky my power was out for only 24 hours. My home phone still is not working. Cell phones only work sometimes. So people won't have power til this week! Glad I got mine back so quick. It's too darn hot to not have a/c~~high 90's to low 100's. Hope Tom and Karen are okay.

That is hurricane strength winds / damage! Glad to hear your power is no longer out.

I have never lost power for a long time in the winter, but I can surely say that losing it for summer for days is hard. For one hurricane (myles about 6) we lost power for 5 days! That was hard and talk about being freaky without street lights at night and one or two little lanterns inside for that many days! No fun there! Oh course, Harry was at work!:rolleyes:

Then when I was pregnant for Myles, we lost power for several days due to another hurricane. I would take a chair and so sit outside under a tree and feel like a beached whale!:o Again, Harry at work! His job requires him to be at work for a hurricane so I have learned if the storm is coming here, I just leave because I dont want to be without power without Harry being home!

I have to say one good thing comes out of no power in the summer - our neighborhood visits each other LOTS more!!!;)

Cell phones only work sometimes. So people won't have power til this week! Glad I got mine back so quick. It's too darn hot to not have a/c~~high 90's to low 100's. Hope Tom and Karen are okay.

Heavens that is horrible!
wish you were here , we have plenty of room for you.
take care and be safe

[travln_isa]

thinking of booking this cruise which is around my 50th birthday out of NO on the sunshine. For the next few days, deposit is only 25 or 50 dollars so I can afford that right after this cruise!

Hi Gwyn, told you I would join you for your 50th
let me know when you decide

[enjoyinglife]

hmmmm, I seem to remember a Singaporean that did not keep a promise to share OBC with the sisterhood. i think hefty fines are in order...



The power of the sista-hood!:D Gotta love it!

[enjoyinglife]

Nah, that's Herb's department. I am still on food overload from the cruise. I ate anything, and double of everything... need to step AWAY from the table for a while :)

So did I! I gained 7 pounds on this cruise!:eek: But I have gone back to normal eating and it was time!

[UncleT]

Hi guys, Glad to hear you enjoyed the Breeze as we will be on her August 14th.
Can the chefs table be booked prior to embarkation?
For those that did this do you feel it was a great experience and worth the money.
I appreciate your comments hope you are all feeling better now and be safe.
Cheers, Anne

Hi Anne. Gail and I did the Chefs table. It was an amazing experience. Just go into it with an open mind and try everything presented. Even though you may not care for tomatoes, try them you will be surprised. As far as the cost, just remember you are paying for an experience not a dinner. Yes I think it was worth it. Yes you can book prior to embarkation. Just fill out the form on John Healds blog. Here is a link. Have a great time and be safe.

Haha... me too. I will eat a burger or Mongolian wok at 7 after an excursion and then go for MDR dinner at 8.15!!

And believe it or not, I just weigh myself yesterday after my swim... I actually lost 2 pounds!!

I can really get used to this lifestyle!!! :D

Don't you just hate me right now?? :p

that's awesome. men have it "hands down" in the metabolism department! good for you. told Herb about the burger joint , he'll keep you posted

[Mamasue11710]

Joe if u were looking at the status picture for Myles, you didn't see him. He never puts his picture as the status picture.

If u went through harry or my pictures, then u saw Myles!

He has never put his real picture in the status and I don't know why!!!


Glad you seem to enjoy it What was everyone wearing on formal nights Do men need a suit? Thank you so much

[travln_isa]

Glad you seem to enjoy it What was everyone wearing on formal nights Do men need a suit? Thank you so much
yes, many wore suits or tux

[JRO43]

Well, glad you saw him!!




Lesa, how are you doing? We are fine here, and Harry will return to work after two months off for sick leave this Tuesday. I am also looking into what next? and getting ideas!:D

For some reason, Harry lost all the pictures we took up on the wall with you and Jeff! Rats! Maybe one day we will meet again and we can get pictures that way to make up for the lost ones!

He did really good though because he took over 10,000 pictures but only lost the ones on the wall. I think he thought he was finished downloading them and had a glitch that way!

Cant wait to find out good news about how you are doing!


Glad to hear that Harry is well enough to return to work. I hope he is 100% back to normal.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your pictures of the wall. That really stinks. Sure, we could meet in Dubrovnik and do it again. In the meantime, I have some that I can share with you if you like. They won't be as good as Harry's, but at least you'll have some pictures of the wall. The good news is that you still have all of the other pictures. I was able to scale back to about 210 pictures that I actually printed out, but it took me awhile to wittle it down.

I started my new chemo as soon as we came home. This one looks just like cherry kool-aid. Isn't that weird? I have been able to keep working full-time so that's good. Time to save for the next cruise, right? I would love to do the Panama Canal cruise, but Jeff is being a meanie and saying we have to wait because he can't get that much time off again from work for a couple of years :(. I have to figure out how to get that money tree in the back yard to start blooming again. :)

Happy to hear that you started your treatments and you are still working full time! That is a good sign. My email address is gwyncr@cox.net and if you could email a couple of the wall pictures, I would appreciate it! Good luck with the upcoming treatments - let us know how they are going!!!

I am thinking of a couple of cruises right now and may book one by the 5th (thursday)because the deposit if booked by then is only 25 dollars, so I can afford that so soon after this cruise!:D

If you ever get that tree to grow, I want a clipping so I ca also grow one!!!

I think it was good luck that i met you, lil sis!

I think it was awesome that we met and cannot wait until we can travel again. Looking forward to Australia/New Zealand!

You have to understand...Australia has the opposite timing for seasons. Dec is actually their summer time... so I gather it will be the best time to travel. So be it Dec 2013 or Dec 2014.... it will not be during mid year, because that is their winter.

The baltics cruise you are planning on going on, does it go to Paris? I think Harry would love to go to Normandy and regardless if he does, I do! :D:D But I would also want to go to Paris! Decisions!

Maybe we could find someone to sponsor a reality series of me and you, "Ingrid and Gwyn take to the seas" Poor Harry :( - maybe he can be our camera man, when he is nice;).

Hi Joe, I am well aware of their seasons.
My issue is that i may not be able to swing both trips. that is a hefty chunck of change. I will wait and see how things pan out

no the cruise does not go to normandy or paris. I plan to do Paris pre-cruise. it is just accross the chunell from London. so you can fly to london and take the chunnell for the day
or you can fly to Paris and chunnell to London... I havent really worked that part out yet. but I am rather excited. Jarry and Jacquilne shared their Paris/London tour guide. Nore sure the distance to Normandy. i will do some research and let you know

I got it: Yes, when we get there, we will begin your count down till your retirement!!!;) That will get him back to la-la land!:D

January 2014 is when I may be going for my soon-to-be 50th b-day! (i like the thought of the cruise...but not the sound of the number of my b-day)!

I called today and the CC group has pushed the 25 dollar deposit deadline back to August 2nd, I believe. 25 dollars holds your spot and full deposit not due till July, 2013.

I was corresponding with a group on the Legend in September, 2013 but it goes to Paris. I thought it was on the Sunshine at first, but found out it was the Legend. I think they will tie or surpass the amount of posts we have!:confused:

Still considering the Baltics, but I love the Australia idea. So are we talking 2014 for Australia???

If possible, plan for a stopover in Asia and we can finally have that food expedition!! :D

Harry left yesterday for the first day of work since his heart attack. I may go with a friend to a swimming pool where they have a July 4th party, but I am not sure yet!

Nancy, I thought I remembered you saying that January 5th was your birthday. I will definately keep you posted! Do you have any plans today? ABout Australia, I think we just assumed a mid-year cruise in 2014. But as Ruth said, our summer is there winter, so the cruise MAY be December of 2014.

Doesn't our Breeze cruise feel like it was a along time ago?

Tell Jeff that he can always take some unpaid time off if he needs to. I have to do that sometimes when our trip schedule gets ahead of my time off at work.

We are planning a land vacation next summer to England, Scotland and Paris, so I am having fun planning that. Len might get to golf the Old Course at St. Andrews again, so he is happy.

Myles used to be so fascinated with tigers! When he was about 4 or 5, we went to a fair that had a baby tiger that if you paid (enough) money, you could feed it a bottle. Myles and I feed the baby tiger a bottle! Pretty awesome, but I would love to just see a baby tiger and be able to play with it, of course, when its momma is no where around! lol :D

I'm all for stopping in Singapore~~the food expedition, not so much. LOL I can watch you all eat the strange food

I don't know why you keep associating Singapore with weird food. We are a major city... yes, our food has A LOT more variety but they are mostly conventional and most Americans can take it.

The weird foods like insects and stuff I tried those in China, Thailand...etc. Not in Singapore, which is rarely available.

Our food expedition can include all sorts of chicken!!

I agree with my sista, Joe! I dont think all Singaporeans eat weird stuff, just YOU!!!:eek: And aren't you really Chinease? :p

But I have to admit - there were some pretty good looking dishes there! I think I will pass on the fish soup though! But I would love to throw in some fried shrimp! Especially coconut fried shrimp! :D:D

Now, I want the desserts if I go!!! I am going with a friend later on today to a swimming party and really wanted to go buy a chocolate cake. When I left the gym, I started to go to the store, but turned my car around and came home! I will drive out of my way for desert, but only out of my way for SOME foods!!!!!

Where's Tom been? I think he has forgotten about us! Maybe Karen put him to work cleaning the house! hehe
Maybe he doesn't know we're here?
Did anyone click on the link?

To relive memories in the piano bar, click on the youtube link I provided not many posts ago. You may have been there!

To relive Joe's food pictures, go back a few posts - he added some for him and some for Nancy and I! You ate with me enough to know what my tastebuds like to eat! :D:D

We are doing fine here. I did wonder where you were though. Hope you and Karen are doing well!

Number 6 is actually a very traditional dessert from this part of the world. The skin is made from gluten/flour mixture and is usually filled with sweet bean paste or grounded peanuts & sugar. I prefer the peanuts & sugar. :)

Hi Tom, glad to bring you back here... we missed you.

I am back to posting food porn again. What can I say?? :D

Oh if you don't mind peanuts or sweet soft texture, trust me, you'll love it!!

Here's a purple colored one just for you! ;)

Gosh, between you and Angela, I am starting to believe I have a purple fetish! :D lol
Maybe Chinease and / or Singaporeans have some sort of alliegence to purple! hahaha

[travln_isa]

Happy Holiday Breezers
I hope everyone has a ton of fun planned today!
I am Just getting in from my walk with the dog (she walked me rather than the other way around). Gotta catch my breath...
Check in later

opps, still 2 pages to reads before I run away :)

I was corresponding with a group on the Legend in September, 2013 but it goes to Paris. I thought it was on the Sunshine at first, but found out it was the Legend. I think they will tie or surpass the amount of posts we have!:confused:
that sounds like a nice itinerary, but paris is easy to do from London if you travel by chunnell...

[travln_isa]

I would plan on going to meet up with yall, but I am not a foodie like you. I an more of a desertie! :D:D Harry asked if there were cruise ships that went out of Singapore and I told him yes, but not Carnival, and I thnk that for you, Joe, he may decide to jump ships but only that one time!
I am not an exotic foodie... some of those things creep me out
now desserts, I'M ALWAYS IN!!!

[travln_isa]

Nancy, my Carnival toe nails are still going strong! They will match in with today's theme! But tomorrow, they will probably get clipped then the polish taken off!
Me too!
still rockin the red, white and blue nails - one more day!

[travln_isa]

That would be great!! But in the meantime, I may visit Thailand... since it is just a 2hr flight away.




I don't know why you keep associating Singapore with weird food. We are a major city... yes, our food has A LOT more variety but they are mostly conventional and most Americans can take it.

The weird foods like insects and stuff I tried those in China, Thailand...etc. Not in Singapore, which is rarely available.

Our food expedition can include all sorts of chicken!!

Tip of the iceberg, sista!

Come to Singapore and I guarantee you will never go hungry!! :)

Of course, if you are the type that have problems choosing what to eat among the sea of choices ... then we might have a problem. :p

[bluwes]

Hi all, just found this thread. Hope you are all well. We could do with another vacation just to get over this one.
I have been mad busy in work as I had to keep the local transport system working while a 75,000 per night concert was taking place in a local park. The Stone Rose were the headline act, a big deal over in England but my friends in the US will have to use Mr Google.
Also had our son over from China for 10 days, even that kept us busy, especially Liz having the washing machine on full blast while he was home. Now he's gone back , she is missing her baby...he's 6' 2" and 180 pounds, some baby. At least my razor and after shave are safe for now!

Happy 4th July to you all

Luv Buble, especially "Home" and "Sway"


Melissa is a HUGE Buble fan, she has 5 CDS in the car that she just plays..!! I can handle for a while then I need a change!

[enjoyinglife]

i remember that one!

I remember that one because it was on an 8-track tape my uncle had! Reminds me of hanging out with cousins when I was about 10!!!

great to hear from you. glad you had a nice visit with your "baby". I have one of those, so I know how Liz feels... :)

I like Buble, but Nothing is good in massive doses! gotta switch it up.

[themnms]

Is whatsapp for iphones? I don't have that. Oh well.

I can't think of another vacation, especially when I just got back... I will have to work hard first. Vacation for me, given my flexible timing, can be planning in a short time, or no planning at all. We'll see. :)


I always need to know i have a big trip coming up!! lol..I have an addiction..We are off to Nashville next week for a bowling tournament so will get to see Mike n Tricee!!...We are booked for Vegas in Oct with few days in Cali and get to see Ingrid and Herbert!! and even then Melissa is trying to persuade me to look for a Bermuda cruise the end of Aug as my daughter Sam is off to England for two weeks!

Joe yes it is available for iPhones but also for android and other smartphone systems.

We don't need to plan for a year but I like the thought of knowing there is a vacation in my future :)
But I don't think we will book anytime soon, maybe in fall. I really wish I would live near to a carnival cruise port!

Just tried your APP but it wont load..will try again..i do have Viber...my number is...one...732..874..4706 lol broke it up so no bots find me!! lol..oh not sure what the intl access is from out of the states!!

Wes, our babies will always be our babies, no matter what age! I would be missing mine too if he moved away! Give Liz a big hug!!!

I think so. Why are you asking? hehehe

I only have one Buble CD. I would get so relaxed at work staying late doing my paperwork and listening to his music! I never get tired on him. The only time I don't think it is appropriate to listen to him is when excercising. Definately not motivating like Eye of the Tiger! ;)

I have no trip planned except one to Atlanta maybe for a speech conference in November. I wont count that as a trip though.

That means I have too many in my head right now! :(

[themnms]

We booked a Caribbean cruise a few days ago on the Glory. However, the airfare to Miami were outrageous for the holiday week (Thanksgiving) so guess what??? We're now sailing on Dec. 8th on the Breeze again! Yay! :D

JEALOUS

I posted my trip photos on my facebook page, if anyone wants to look at them
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150914512812730.414583.590562729&type=1&l=9c98ef2d4f


Great pics!!

[themnms]

Oh my.. this is a but embarrassing. I lied to a few people on the cruise about how fast I dove a car! I totally messed with the conversion km/h to mph, I told I drove 200mph and even though some asked if this is real I said yes but only because I really thought that it was true! But no, I only drove around 155 mph ( i don't think i could stand more)and I'm very sorry and I want to apologize.

Uh i am still impressed with the 155!!

[themnms]

I started my new chemo as soon as we came home. This one looks just like cherry kool-aid. Isn't that weird? I have been able to keep working full-time so that's good. Time to save for the next cruise, right? I would love to do the Panama Canal cruise, but Jeff is being a meanie and saying we have to wait because he can't get that much time off again from work for a couple of years :(. I have to figure out how to get that money tree in the back yard to start blooming again. :)

Lesa

Lesa our speedy recovery prayers are with you!! As for Panama Canal , it is a great cruise and very relaxing as normally you have a few sea days!!


Harry said he always wanted 2 girls.... i think we should keep him around :)

no the cruise does not go to normandy or paris. I plan to do Paris pre-cruise. it is just accross the chunell from London. so you can fly to london and take the chunnell for the day
or you can fly to Paris and chunnell to London... I havent really worked that part out yet. but I am rather excited. Jarry and Jacquilne shared their Paris/London tour guide. Nore sure the distance to Normandy. i will do some research and let you know

I think a few people are doing Paris first and then chunell or ferry to England!!

I know I will go visit my sister for a few days and then have promised Michelle and Melissa the Jack the Ripper tour the night before!!

[themnms]

can anyone see my posts?


I can see you!! We are watching Wimbledon and then off to Melissa's Moms to finish the day!!

Hope you have some fun plans!!

Hi Lesa, I hope all goes well with your cherry kool-aid chemo. Remarkable that you are able to work full time. Yes, save for the next cruise, look forward to the next great adventure and most of all, take the very best care of yourself

Hi Ingrid: Hope all is well with you. I'm doing great. I just do what the doctor tells me. I'm already saving for our next cruise. I'd be happy to go just about anywhere. It looks like a lot of you are looking at Australia. I've never been there. So many places to go and so little vacation time and money...hmmm. Being independently wealthy would help but I don't think that applies to any of us.:)

Happy to hear that you started your treatments and you are still working full time! That is a good sign. My email address is gwyncr@cox.net and if you could email a couple of the wall pictures, I would appreciate it! Good luck with the upcoming treatments - let us know how they are going!!!

I am thinking of a couple of cruises right now and may book one by the 5th (thursday)because the deposit if booked by then is only 25 dollars, so I can afford that so soon after this cruise!:D

If you ever get that tree to grow, I want a clipping so I ca also grow one!!!

I just sent you some pictures of the wall. Glad to hear you are getting ready to book your next cruise. I'll give you a whole branch if that tree starts blooming:D
