I highly recommend visiting mauiwine and trying their pineapple wine. Seriously. It was very good and if I hadn’t been told it was pineapple I wouldn’t have known. It’s on the other side of the road to Hana... if you want to drive it in reverse from Wailea. Unexpected location. Lovely place across the street that serves burgers of meat from a variety of animals raised locally and great picnic area.
Before a Seattle cruise if you’re near Pike Place Market, check out DeLaurenti Food & Wine... very helpful staff and lovely store. Be sure to go upstairs by the wine!

They do carry a nice selection of various Alaska Brewing company offerings when they are up there. Just off the Regal. Guinness and New Castle were available as draft in the Wheel House. Heineken and New Castle were in the aft bar behind Horizon Court.. and that may have been the extent of the draft beers. No real craft beer. In some of the islands they have "Virgin Island" varieties' date=' and the Island Hopping IPA is OK... if you look at the fine print you'll see these St. John Brewing Company selections are actually made in Portland, ME.[/quote']
Guinness on tap? Or draft in a can with the widget?

Stone island has a beautiful beach in Mazatlan. You can walk (turn left out of the terminal gates) 5 minutes to a little water taxi that is $2 return and runs every 5 minutes or so. We like Victors for beer and grilled fish or chips and salsa or guacamole or ceviche. There are about a dozen beach restaurants.

Was this the Ruby September 30? The cruise director said enjoy the next 24 hours at the sail away party and by that time we were down to about 15 hours, and that's when the clouds gave way and the big raindrops fell... but it was quite a fun time, I agree! And completely worth it!! Woohoo!

is there somewhere to get our 2 bottles of wine pre-cruise near the doubletree or crowne plaza?

Do you buy the wine package before getting on, and if so is it cheaper than buying onboard?

Thanks all for your input on cycling in Boston.

Depending where you're flying from, but I found cheaper air into Newark than Boston. Haven't tackled hotels yet.

138east - we will have bicycles with us. We don't want a major ride but are there must sees or a resource you could point me to for cycling in the Boston area?

The double needle is super easy to use and costs $4 to try. I'd try that first! Geocruiser makes a good point about changing the thread around or buying double.

Re Burda - definitely use a darker colour to go over which line to use. But not too dark or you may eliminate the ability to use the other patterns included. Then create a pattern (tissue paper) from the page with all the pieces and sizes that you can keep in an envelope for using again. Be sure to check whether seam allowances are included, or not and add in if needed. I loved burda patterns and used them a lot.

The sugar museum was surprisingly interesting! The plantation was for tourists but was beautiful especially if you like gardens. Check out the blue flowers by the bathroom!! Lahaina is small and touristy and well, small and touristy! The nice thing about the museum and plantation and ocean centre is you get a mini tour of the island! There is an interesting Baldwin museum and lovely gift shop in Lahaina and the banyan tree is worth seeing!! There is a great coffee shop and ice cream shop in Lahaina!

For breakfast I was avoiding bread so had 2 poached eggs on finely diced vegetables served with hollandaise in a beautiful glass birds nest-like bowl. So yummy I had it every day. Several cappuccinos, fresh squeezed oj. Yummy!

Something that inspired me when we sold our house and downsized and also is helpful for travelling is the 20/20 rule: Anything I truly need, I can buy for less than $20 in less than 20 minutes from my current location. Helps me not overpack all those "just in case items".

I don't remember which shuttle it was - we walked out of the airport and took the first one - I see on the SFO website it says $17... that's what we took. There was one other couple that were in the van with us and the driver took them to their house first, which meant we got a free tour of the city! We debated BART but when we realized our hotel would be a walk from the nearest BART station we decided shared van was best.

We took the shared shuttle van and I think it was $17.50 each. They gave us a voucher for $2.50 off the return trip if we called them which we used. We thought this was good value.

Should have said, the mushy peas looked and are like they had put them through a blender, not a pea to be found. Pretty much purée.
But the mushy peas are actually good. I think they're mixed with mashed potatoes. Try them!

International Cafe - why does it not smell of coffee?
in Princess Cruises
Posted
Have you noticed when you’re at the international café that you never smell coffee? You know when you walk into a yummy Coffee shop the smell is divine. Are they using real beans to make a latte/cappuccino? I know it tastes fine but curious why it doesn’t have that divine fragrance.
