I'm not sure I would cancel a cruise because they cancelled New Caledonia. I guess if it was a short itinerary and the replacement was "sea days" it would be quite disappointing. For us New Caledonia is simply part of a much longer itinerary and we were indifferent as to whether we would leave the ship at all. I guess we will find out in January maybe what will happen there.

Did I use a "Star Wars" reference? Not so much. I saw the original in theatres once when it came out. I'm not big on Sci Fi in General. As it turns out several of the buildings in Baku are pretty futuristic. It was quite a race, very entertaining.

So big congratulations to young Australian Oscar Piastri for a very entertaining win Azerbaijan today. I'm thankful that neither Sergio Perez nor Carlos Sainz were injured in their shunt, which was I believe rightly ruled as a "Racing Incident" with no further action. Of course seeing Lando in front of Verstappen makes me happy.

Lynn & I are so happy to see your post Les. Good to hear that you continue to push your "use by" date into the future. We are glad you are well settled into your new villa. Continue to Live Life Full. Cheers Lyle & Lynn

I'm going to throw out the idea of doing a one way cruise Auckland to Sydney or vice versa. Tack on some land time on both ends. It saves a couple of sea days. You can fly in to one country and out of the other.

You are correct, your answer came in just as I sent the hint. My clearest early childhood memory was of JFK's funeral. I was 4 years old, and couldn't understand why everyone was so sad. I made a point of going to the JFK Presidential Library while we were in Boston. I often wonder what might have been, if only...

Time for a hint POTUS.

It is in Boston, not famous for sailing but for who owned it.

More specific, that is a very famous boat.

Right country, wrong coast

it is the east coast

It's not on Vancouver Island, but you have the right continent.

I'll try this

Sorry for the delay. I've never actually been to that park. Due to the way broadcast TV worked back in the day, we only really has clear reception for stations out of Seattle; as a result landmarks from there are quite familiar. I'll have to switch to my old computer, I haven't finished loading files on this one.

I think that is Gasworks Park in Seattle.
