Soft piano background made me feel like Iain was there.

Gee, I just put out a Teach Yourself Netscape set out for the trash a couple of days ago. Any IT types remember those type of books popular before the web "was invented"? 😆 And we feel the same family attachment to you - someone I'm never likely to meet. 😉 Gee, I must be off my lurk only meds.

Always ready for a Jim and Iain Live! 👍

NOOOO! You need to start your live now! ------------- Happy Anniversary, @Georgia_Peaches !

I also assumed it was the risotto. Awful presentation - looks like dog food or barf.

No map shirt for Jeremy. 😪 So disappointed. 😁

Did Jeremy get a map shirt? 😁

Reminds me that I was walking in Old San Juan right before Covid hit and saw a manhole cover from somewhere in the midwest - think it was Indiana. 😁 ------------ As always, I'm normally a lurker on your threads but always waiting for that first someone to type Lain instead of Iain. Didn't take long for this time. 🤣

I'm in & awaiting the cruise debut of THE dress. 😁 So how many of the MSC crowd you gonna convert to be walking maps this time? 🤣

Happy Birthday, Iain! 🎂🍨

Guess the question is fully answered now. 😁

So does she have a map dress yet?

I have a future vision of Charla and 40 other ladies all in map dresses happily meeting for a sail-away. --------- Love the red skirt and elegant top worn for chic night.

Well it is Beyond ... as in One Step Beyond. 😆

I'm a regular lurker to your Lives and only occasionally post. But what name would Iain choose if he did log on? I'm imagining... When researching something, ran across a series of posts from a Defying Gravity. Somewhat later in the thread her husband creates an account to chirp in. His name, of course, was I'm Gravity. 😆

Jim, bet you and Iain are glad that you were able to visit those Canadian ports before all of the hurricane damage. Really tough for those folks. And now the Floridians... 😬

Be careful on the Solarium Pool steps - they can be slippery. Hubby took a nasty fall there.

Ah, yes, I remember your threads. We were on the Feb 8 SJ Summit cruise. First cruise was a Princess Alaska the previous August and then the SJ one, one of the very last when we were just starting to hear about Covid "way over there in Asia". No third time is a charm right now unless the Summit can manage to dock in Austin so we don't have to fly. So looking forward to sailing by proxy with you.

The solarium steps can be slippery. Hubby took a bad fall when holding on to both railings & spent the next day in bed because of the pain. Just be aware and you'll probably not have a problem.

I'm going through @Jim_Iain travel withdrawal. Can't you augment the thread with an occassional post about your daily walks, Jim? 😁 You always seem to find something interesting to show us. It's tough being a lurker with nothing to add. 😆

I'm normally just a lurker, but have been with your posts from the beginning & am REALLY glad it's finally coming to an end. Let us know when you're home safe & sound. I'm sure many are indebted to you for opening their eyes to what testing positive could mean in the current environment so they can do a better risk eval for their own cruises. Thank you.

When you said you'd fill in for Jim, you really meant it by including door pics. 😆
