NHProud

Your photos are always spectacular. We enjoyed our one day in Victoria. My husband’s comment was : “ This would be a nice place to live” .

I like Annie Hall. I’ve watched Last Year at Marienbad more than once and I still don’t get it . We visited Marienbad and that explains the interest . If anyone understands that film please share 🎥🎬🎞️

Microsoft shares are selling at $415.77 which may account for the inflated price in your previous post .

How are your plans coming along for New York City ? It’s the same for the Chrysler building . I was stopped from entering. If you are ever in LA the Bradbury building lobby is very interesting. I was , again, stopped from going in . I saw the interior on a Perry Mason episode. Perhaps, you can talk your way into taking a look in these off limit lobbies.

We liked the Hilton . When we were there there was a lake with ducks . The fish and chips were delicious. I had them every day . There was a cricket field with bleachers outside our sliding door and we watched one game . The problem was the location. The foreign ( from India ) taxi drivers charged us twice what the local driver charged us . I’m very fussy about hotels and this one was nice except for the taxis .

We took the National Express bus from Heathrow to Southampton. We boarded the bus at our arrival terminal in a shaded area with seating. There were taxis waiting at the Southampton bus terminal. I made the mistake, or maybe not, of booking a Hilton that was not too close to city center. One day , we took the bus to Winchester.

@dani negreanu Dani , we are all thinking about you , your family and your friends. I hope, your son has found a shelter where he can be safe . We are watching the news and what is happening over Jerusalem. I can’t imagine what that must be like . Sending our prayers to Jack’s Israeli family.

My husband visited Long Beach on business quite a few times before we moved to Santa Clarita in 2006 . I would go with him often . We cruised out of San Pedro in 2023 and believe me or not you are going to be bored staying in San Pedro . The Tiki bar Dave referenced is within walking distance of the Long Beach Westin which @Jimbo has also mentioned. Laguna Beach is very nice and with a rental car should not be a problem. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton . This October , we are staying one night at the Crowne Plaza . Last year , we stayed at the Doubletree. It’s because , we’ve been there , done that. I’m sure , you have your itinerary planned and know what you want to do.

Really , if I remember correctly you wanted out of CA . I must be mistaken. The LA freeways are not the German autobahn . Be careful !

Eclipse started about half hour ago . The peak will occur at 11:11 AM . No one out looking so blazée . We have friends on Holland America off the coast of Mazatlan continuing on to Hawaii and Vancouver.

My uneducated guess would be not enough Fe++ .

The bottle almost looks Scandinavian. I’m not a fan of realty shows . I think they are scripted otherwise boring unless you’re a Larry David . Who pays whom on those shows. I’ve already mentioned that I spoke with the dad of one contestant on the Apprentice and he told me it is not what it appears to be. His daughter must have signed a non disclosure agreement. I’m glad you are getting so much pleasure out of your collection.

That’s a very interesting bottle and it would make a unique lamp if Linda would agree to it. You mentioned your collection and I was wondering if you’ve ever posted a pic of your bar.

I didn’t get it , either. I googled it and found it on Reddit. In defense of HBE4 and myself, it was a little obtuse. Anyway, I was wondering about you since it had been a few days since you had posted anything. I know , you wouldn’t just leave without saying goodbye like some have done.

We have earthquake insurance on our house in Southern California. They can expect aftershocks in the Northeast. Dani , I hope you are feeling better.
