Sharon, it did seem like the kitchen redo was a long time away but I have found 2022 seems to be flying by. Our construction guy originally said it would take about 8 weeks but said the other day projects have started to move a little faster so I am hopeful it might not take as long. Any tips for Budapest? What was it you liked so much? We are planning to arrive a few days before. Any tips for river cruising? We will be sailing on Viking. Sherri🙂

My most memorable was our cruise in 2009. from Port Canaveral around South America to LA. It was actually 3 cruises for a total of 46 days on Mariner. Some of my favorite memories were overnights in Rio and Buenos Aries, walking on Penguin Island with thousands of penguins in Ushuaia, and wine tasting in Chile. Great cruise! Second best was a cruise on Radiance across the Pacific from Sydney to Honolulu with a B2B that circumvented the Hawaiian islands and ended in Vancouver. 30 amazing nights! Sherri🙂

Well that sounds like very good news for you! Sherri🙂

We will cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. 14 nights and very intensive, every day is a new port. We may need a vacation when it is over.😂 Sherri🙂

Welcome home, Lois! I hope your leg is improving and you are feeling better. Eleven days went by quickly! And welcome home to you, too, Cynthia! Kat, love your pictures! Your meal looks amazing! Grandkids left yesterday afternoon, their flight was delayed for an hour due to heavy thunderstorms in the Orlando area. Daily afternoon storms are pretty typical for Florida during the summer so we are usually surprised if a flight is not delayed. We had a great time with them but back to a quiet house. Only temporarily, however, as kitchen construction is supposed to start next Monday! We will be living in a construction zone for the next 8 weeks. My husband got a little crazy and booked a river cruise on Viking for next summer. He has been wanting to do one for years so he thought this would be a good way to celebrate our 50th anniversary next summer. OOTD: gym clothes, after the gym I have a lot of sand to sweep up, amazing how much sand two kids can carry in! 😂 Sherri🙂

I do not know if that has been the reason for anyone being turned away; however, my results that came from emed did not indicate a CLIA number. My last results from Walgreens were reported in a different format than previous ones, I kept mine on my phone and there was no CLIA number. And I do know the all of agents checking us in have verbally checked off DOB, name, date of test and results without mentioning any number. Sherri🙂

We’ve done this 12 times now since August at various labs, no one has ever been interested in the CLIA number. The checkin agent looks for name, DOB, date of test and result. Sherri🙂

Kat, safe travels!

My new fav for pool days is Aperol Spritz, sometimes called Passion Spritz. Vodka, Aperol, a little mixer, and sparkling wine. Very kight and not too sweet! Sherri🙂

Lois, are you taking any pain meds? They can cause stomach issues, especially NSAIDs like Ibuprofen. I hope you feel better today! Sherri🙂

Mine took right at 5 weeks and I did not pay for expedited service. Sherri🙂

Wow, Lois, that sounds like quite an experience and a painful one at that. Good news that it’s not a blood clot! My husband is home from Australia and, no, he did not notice my haircut.🙄. The Wildman has gone home and I think I have recovered. The next round of grandkids starts Sunday but they are pretty easy going kids so it won’t be as physically demanding. Kat, I hope you have a great trip! I am looking forward to reading about your adventures! OOTD: exercise clothes for the gym, no make up. After gym, I will be cleaning house, getting ready for kids so nothing fun today! Sherri🙂

Great news, Lois! And safe travels, enjoy your cruise! Sherri🙂
