Iain got the dreaded SSSS You have been selected for special screening. Pat downs numerous times. Residue scans of hand baggage etc. Global Entry only 3 on line. Real Quick. Regular security had a couple 100 but looked to be moving. Everything is facial recognition. -

Group 1 called at 7:45 and BART was kind enough to escort us to the departure gate. Out the door and turn Left. Followed signs Just Tap on Tap off with ApplePay and was on the Subway by 8:19 We are now outside the terminal as we can’t check in until 9:20. (30 minutes) Easiest departure ever. -

Well every adventure must come to an end. We arrived Vancouver at 5:00 AM. Although the weather calls for rain looks beautiful. Walk offs began at 7:09 and general disembarkation should begin shortly. I would like to thank everyone that has followed along and participated. What a fun time we had. i still have to put a couple videos up. Yesterday was Singh’s birthday and we had a fun party for him. -

Last night was Chic - Lobster I had the Trout and Iain the Salmon The lobster was really small, which was fine with us. It was sweet and tender but kinda is watery which is common of frozen lobster. I had the trout as a starter. Iain had the Salmon fro MDR Here’s the Lobster in a hollandaise based sauce. Poached pear from MDR -

Further cutbacks are being noticed in Lumina. It tastes like the have changed the butter to a butter / spread mix and have recently cut down the size of the butter mold. The more they cut back "standard" items the more they are shifting away from Luxury to Denny's attention to detail and quality.

Last night I didn't see any in Luminae but did see some at various staircases --- as well as the green screen in front of the Casino. -

Over the years we have modified from traditional Lamb and/or Beef and now use a combination ground Chicken/Turkey ---- Besides that it is pretty basic - Onions, Carrots sometimes Celery Chicken/Turkey - and Bisto to thicken. Just good old comfort food. He serves it with Bachalor's Marrow Fat Peas. Stock Photo of what we are talking about - -

Current "deal" on Solstice is Yes - 6 months to use to get the promo but valid for 12 month's. After 12 months if not used you loose your deposit. Yes. You can transfer to Agent -- I believe you have to transfer the Certificate to you agent within 30 days of purchase. I've done it a number of times.
