Adding another thanks for your travel reports. I want to be on your trivia team someday! I’ve enjoyed following along.

@superomaBe careful with the parchment. It needs to be held down-otherwise the air circulating causes it to fly up to the heating element and it starts to burn. Been there, done that!!😳. Off to the airport in a couple of hours for our flight to Denver and then south on Saturday to DD and family’s new home. Can’t wait!

Wonderful to read good news!

Have you completed your cruise? What did you find out about the visa for Bali? I always have problems trying to fill out visa requirements online. Thanks!

We had an amazing cruise for the solar eclipse but sure haven't been able to get back in the groove since we came home. And now we're packing up again to spend a couple of weeks in Colorado at DD's new home (with plenty of projects to help with there). @RedneckBobLast week at Seattle's Woodland Park zoo, a mother duck with ducklings were paddling around the pond in the bear enclosure. Well, you can probably guess the outcome. And lots of upset little kids on the other side of the glass. @superomaI also vote for wallflower. Mine came back for many years. And they have a very nice scent. The stalks did become somewhat big and woody.

Have you looked to see if there are any photos of the cabins on HALFacts.com?

@shadow 123I will add that for some reason, it never seems to work for me the 1st attempt. I backspace to erase and start over again. 2nd time's the charm!

I wonder if this is something that could be ordered ahead of time by calling Ship Services? 888 628 8107 hal_ship_services@hollandamerica.com (the spaces are underscore)

@dockmanI'm not sure I understand your question. It seems the main point is getting a faster reply, so how does that reduce the agent's commission?

@JazzyVIt was so good to read that everything went well and that you had a good night. Positive thoughts that it continues.

One other thing I've read but not tried, green apples. It's been mentioned that even crew members keep them handy as well as ginger.

Any spies in the crowd who could check on how many people are actually "behind the curtain"? Is it actually worthwhile-are people showing up for whatever is going on?

Have a fantastic cruise-and please, stay in one piece! 😊

Knowing not much about adding things to maps, etc.--would it be difficult to add a red star at the Destination of Day location? Some ports are very familiar but others can be huh, where's that? Thanks! I do appreciate your maps.

@kazuI want to thank you for the information, quite some time ago, about a keyboard for the iPad. Finally using it on this trip and I love it! First port today and will wander Cabo San Lucas this afternoon and explore tomorrow. Lots of lectures and info gearing up to the eclipse on Monday. Can’t wait!!
