Good morning and thanks all! Add me to the No camp for Tilapia, it has an off taste to me. @Vict0riann I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your cousin! @Cruzin Terri also sorry to hear about your insurance issues, the loss is bad enough without this to contend with. happy Sunday!

Glad you’ve arrived safe and sound! Interesting menu, I enjoy octopus. enjoy!

Good morning and thanks all. We enjoyed the canal, but not Colon, we left the ship but quickly returned, very unsafe.

@smitty34877 so sorry your DH has to go through this, it glad it was discovered and can be treated. Prayers all goes well! @kazu Bon Voyage! Hope everything goes smoothly now, thanks for all the great photos and stories today!

Good morning and thanks all! We hope to visit Vietnam one day. Wishing everyone well on the care and concern lists. Happy birthday Graham! Jacqui, I am so sorry to hear your news, sending good thoughts for a quick recovery. It’s so very disappointing when you’ve been trying to make this happen for so long!

Good morning and thanks all! @dfish those tacos look amazing! And to think you’re moving houses at the same time! @smitty34877hoping it is a minor concern! @cat shepherd glad your checks have been good! I’m excited for all those heading out on cruises! Prayers for all those dealing with so many concerns!

Good morning and thanks all! @dfish those peppers look great! Thanks for the photos Sandi, Lenda and Tony! Will gladly celebrate artists, DS is one. @seagarsmoker Happy anniversary! Sweet 16! @Quartzsite Cruiser sending you good thoughts and wishes for a good outcome. Understand your exhaustion dealing with everything. Just a thought, we have so many dealing with so many issues and I’m wondering if a lot are unsaid, perhaps too difficult to express. So I will add to my list all those struggling with unspoken needs.

Enjoy my favourite city!

It is definitely worth asking and as stated above checking how high the penalty would be if you did cancel and then rebook. Depending on the time frame the savings may be more than what you would lose on the deposit.

Good morning and thanks all! Dinner and the wine sound good, not sure about the pumpkin drink but I’d try it! Well we went from mid twenties to the S word🤷‍♀️😜. Neither all the trees or our deck were ready.

Good morning and thanks all! @Lady Hudson happy birthday @kazu I hope HAL makes things right, The before cruise could sure some improvement! @ger_77 that’s crazy, why the extra tote around trip, hard to fathom! well we are into fall, cool rainy and the dreaded a word in the forecast.

Good morning and thanks all! Sorry to hear about more falls in the daily family. @summer slope a special shout out for the interesting drinks, spicy passion fruit, I’d Iike to try that! @Sharon in AZ continuing the drink theme, I don’t drink coffee but will with a B52😂 @kazu sorry you have two sore arms, I didn’t get a sore arm this time, just the fatigue, but DH had a sore arm three days later. Always different.

Oh such adventures! The storm in Crete was deadly, scary hearing all hands on deck. We loved Kefalonia, spent several days there. It has gorgeous beaches and scenery. I’m glad you’re doing well,

Love the Royal Hawaiian, aka the pink palace! What a great idea the progressive luau!

Another vote for the Koningsdam, we found the Noordam was showing her age. Love the Tamarind.

Good morning and thanks all! Interesting dinner and yummy wine! Nice photos thanks! Sending my condolences for all the loss. @aliaschiefhope you have a chance to enjoy some of the wonderful food in Lyon! I’m glad to hear only mild reactions to the boosters. I had mine yesterday and just some fatigue and mild aches. I’ll do the flu shot separately in a couple of weeks. @Quartzsite Cruiser hoping your DH has good news today.

Good morning and thanks all! I tried cauliflower pizza and was very pleasantly surprised, the Big box sells the shells and we had it for dinner last night! @Seasick Sailor and @SusieKIslandGirl happy birthday! @StLouisCruisers so sorry for your loss, falls are so scary! DH tripped early in the morning last week and broke his new glasses and frames. Luckily he was ok, but one always worries. Thankfully the big box are replacing his glasses, we were very pleasantly surprised. @ger_77 so glad the flights got settled! Now you can look forward to it. @kazu glad you’re getting your booster before you go. Does your province have the Pfizer yet? Well we are having a strange fall, plus 25 Celsius yesterday and today! Sure beats the snow! We saw this big guy last night.

Finally watched the Calabria episode. We loved beautiful Tropea, missed the red onions but had Tartufo that was invented in nearby Pizzo. Yum!

I am deeply saddened to hear about a gay minister being placed on leave. Wrong on so many levels.

Good morning and thanks all! Prayers for all concerns large and small! @ger_77 yikes, hope they straighten around your flights, there have been so many cancellations but I’m sure they’ll find you something good! @kazu yikes on computer issues! @marshhawk on the seniors and drugs! great minds, lol! You have picked a good area for Rome, we like the Centro storico too. I think the key to pizza is how thin the crust is. Perhaps Sabine has gone shore side, best wishes to such a nice lady. we are continuing to enjoy a long warm fall, days 20 plus Celsius

@kazu and anyone else interested, Nexus really helps when leaving or coming back to Canada even from Europe. Shorter line for security too. We often fly business too, but have still found it worthwhile. You can use the machines instead of waiting in line, the only problem right now is the interview process.

I am hoping you can stay safe! So sorry that others are so inconsiderate and I’m being kind! Love Kona and that market.

I’ve booked through TAs and directly. I have a lot of travel experience and need little help, but I’ve found in the past couple of years having a large TA in my corner to go to bat for me has paid off in way more than just the hundreds of dollars of rebates we’ve gotten. so something to consider if things go sideways.

Good morning and thanks all! The drinks and dinner sound great! Bora Bora is a star crossed port for us, we’ve booked three times and Patrick twice but no joy, from ship cancellations, Zika fever and Covid we’re not sure we’ll ever get there! But so nice to see all the photos, Sandi, your bathing suit blends with the water! @kazu glad you got your SUV fixed and they didn’t charge. I went through similar with one of our SUVs just after warranty, and it cost thousands! I’ve since switched to a very reliable brand and since 2007 have done nothing other than regular maintenance on the last two. I’m so glad you have another cruise booked. Do you have nexus? That helps but they are currently two years behind for renewals. @RedneckBoblove the spinners, we see them in Hawaii as well! They’re like ballerinas how they twirl!

Hoping all is well!
