I actually posted before I read all the posts, as I am another three hours later. I did correct it after I read the whole daily. Nice of you to post for her!

Good Morning and thanks all! Especially to those who contribute daily and those who have stepped up to keep things going! Had a son who loved sponge bob! Lol! Hugs to all who need them! @MISTER 67 fair winds and following seas! I’m really enjoying the beautiful photos of Lisbon, @grapau27@StLouisCruisers @Quartzsite Cruiser@JazzyVand love the unusual tiles @0106 We so enjoyed a little jewel box of a museum there as well as seeing some Fado and enjoying the beautiful palace in Sintra.

Thanks for taking one for the team, in the interest of research 😂

@lazey1 prayers that the right path will unfold for you! For some gentle encouragement our friend is doing great only two months later after open heart valve replacement, swimming, walking and feeling much better. I am wishing you the same but glad your doctors are carefully evaluating! @MISTER 67 I used to always use audio, or adieu and often youth and young. I’ve switched to crane and it seems to be better for me. Best of luck! I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Anniversaries are tough!

I think it’s just luck and a matter of time, lol! For awhile I was also doing dordle(2) quordle (4) and octordle (8). Now I’m just doing wordle, connections and spelling bee😂🤷‍♀️

Good morning and happy Valentine’s Day! DS was born with a hole in his heart, which thankfully closed when he was three! @MISTER 67 I got wordle in two yesterday! Fun game. Once in one! @Suslor happy birthday to your DH! @superoma happy birthday to your twins! ! @rafinmd sending hugs, anniversaries are tough! @cat shepard we met some people from Florida yesterday at the beach who said they came to Hawaii to get warm!

I’ll be the devils advocate. In our decades of travel in Europe,we have not been as fortunate as Hank. We have encountered two airline strikes and French aircraft controllers strike. A fire in Rome airport cancelled all flights and we had to find alternatives. We have had an Italian train stop for no reason, we think it was dinner time. Things can and do go wrong, in Venice there was a strike announced to start the next day for the vaporettos and alilaguna, but we were assured that one main route would function. Surprise surprise it was not! After waiting an hour in the rain with luggage we had to call a private water taxi. So while I agree, independent travel is our preferred choice best be prepared. And we still love Italy. We too have driven all over Italy, we enjoy it but make a wide detour around Naples. We have had to travel by taxi back and forth from Salerno to Naples and it was pretty congested. We arrived well over an hour late for an appointment.

Enjoying tagging along! Thanks for all the interesting facts about the cruise! I am slow catching up but saw your ship earlier in Kona this week! We enjoyed her on a Panama cruise! Aloha!

Good morning and thanks all! @ger_77 sorrytohearof your losses! It’s hard to lose one’s elders. I too have only one aunt left. How kind of you to make those meals! I share your planning mid sleep, sigh! Well we’re thinking today will be a good day for Costco, lol! Everyone seems busy🤷‍♀️ @Haljo1935 we enjoyed our tour to that town, That church is in the photos! @RedneckBob you missed your chance! fuggadabuddit!

On land definitely, it lasted longer than the usual. And quite noisy in kona,

Yes or these ones! They’re amazing!

@dfishthanks, Kealakakua bay is lovely. Hope you saw some of the spinner dolphins and whales along the way, now time for you to relax!

Good morning and happy lunar new year! A special thanks to @JazzyVfor keeping our lists and to @rafinmd for starting and keeping track for several years! @Haljo1935 wishing you a very happy birthday! @Heartgrove congratulations on the new Subaru, I agree that buying can be an awful experience. We need to look at purchasing in the near future! @dfish wondering if your excursion was by boat? @ger_77glad Maurice is a little further along, what a process! @smitty34877 sending extra hugs and prayers things improve soon for you and Tana! We had a rainbow too last night, hopefully it was a good sign as I felt a little nervous going to bed last night after the earthquake. It was really loud and seemed quite extended here.

Oh too bad! So disappointing, we were guessing you went to a coffee plantation. @dfish yikes on the tender loading! I thought your photos were pretty decent! Did you go to Kahuluu? We got a new snorkelling camera but it was still too rough yesterday but I’ll show you one photo. Hope you saw the whales, they were really active around noon. They were saying hello! We watched you sail off into the sunset along with a nude photo shoot on the beach, lol!

Hope you all had fun 🤙🏻

Aloha koningsdam. A rocking welcome.

Well I did a search and I found something about a thinking traveller? So not sure if that’s the connection. They have an international,voice competition and it is a UNESCO site as well as having one of the top patisseries that was featured on Chefs Table. Cafe Sicilia. I highly recommend a visit. Not to mention the great wine.

DH says they are actually Grey francolin aka manu moa or chicken birds. Google thinks it’s a chukar partridge. We hand fed one last year. This is a nene.

I thought they were boats and suitcases, lol!

Aloha a photo of Maui from the big island

It was in Noto. They have a flower festival where they decorate the streets with flower paintings. I am guessing it’s for that.

Good morning and thanks all! We enjoyed Catania, last time we went to Ortygia and Noto on a private tour which I would highly recommend. The food and wine were great, Nero d’Avila

@RedneckBob 😂

Just a quick good morning and thanks all! Prayers for those who need them. It is our lovely DD’s birthday. The lovely Zuiderdam is in port this morning. We were treated the other day with quite the show! These creatures are as big as a greyhound bus!

Good morning and thanks all! I visited Montreal as a young teen for Expo. It was wonderful, time for a do over. So sorry to hear the Kauai call has been cancelled for the dailyites! But a sail around the Napali cliffs should be amazing ! @smitty34877 sending extra prayers and. Hugs! @DeniseT yikes! Please get it checked,. I once had a fire in a plug and the fire department told me it was good I called as they would make sure it was ok. Wow! Simply wow!
