  1. Yes. We've got one from every ship we've been on, including a Disney Wonder (our first) hiding with the Royal ships. We'll be adding Wonder of the Seas this fall but the cabinet is full. I'll need to figure something out...a good problem to have.
  2. Business Class is often a 1-2-1 configuration. Depending on the plane and the airline, the middle 2 seats may be right next to each other. Sometimes the middle seats are angled (like Andrew's picture) so that even though they are technically next to each other, you're not really that close to the person next to you. They do strange things with BC configuration so that there is room to put your feet with the seat flat for a bed, while maximizing the number of seats.
  3. We have Agreeable Grey in our house. Our painter said it's very popular. I understand the desire to paint before moving in, but painters are used to painting rooms that are filled with furniture. You'll usually only have a room out of commission for a day (or 2 at most). I'm not a big color person but Micheline very much is. She'll get a sample quart of 3 or 4 colors and paint sections of walls. You can then see how these different colors look in different lighting conditions. Your room will like weird for a week or so but if color is important, you'll end up with something that you like. If color isn't important, pick something and move on. If your painter doesn't want to pick, take a few pictures to your local Sherwin Williams store and ask them. Or, find a different painter who is more into design. Our's very much is and had a lot of good conversations with Micheline about options.
  4. If you're looking for a good place for dinner in Savannah, I've heard several people recommend The Grey. I haven't personally eaten there. It's a James Beard award winner located in a former art deco Greyhound bus terminal. It is described as innovative southern cooking using locally sourced ingredients. Definitely check the menu first to see if it's your kind of thing.
  5. For kicks, l just looked at the Uber app to see what it would cost to go from my house to a local restaurant that's 3 miles away. It would cost $11 and would take 14 minutes for the Uber to arrive. We don't have many Ubers where I live. 😁 I think I mentioned this before but NYC taxis now use an app called Curb. You can "hail" a taxi, track your progress, and pay with a credit card...all using the app. I don't remember but I think I could pay within the Curb app using my Apple Wallet. If that's true, I'm sure it would also work with an Android equivalent wallet. Curb may work in other cities and/or other larger cities may have a similar app. People generally like the cash free app for Uber/Lyft, and taxis need to keep up.
  6. Micheline is a fan of the CBS Sunday Morning show. This piece was broadcast last Sunday. We now have CC turned on most of the time, for many of the reasons called out in the video.
  7. Uber is typically cheaper than a taxi...that's their business model. As others have said, Uber pricing fluctuates based on time of day and supply/demand. If there aren't a lot of Ubers around you to begin with, someone may need to drive a fair distance to your house for the short trip to your office, so the price goes up. Thats means there are times when a taxi could be cheaper. When we went to NYC a couple months ago, I learned that going from Laguardia to Manhattan is usually cheaper by taxi, since there's often a demand charge for Uber trips.
  8. Renee - If you're doing everything on your Samsung phone, ignore everything that I said above about Windows. Do what Mark said and change the photo date directly on your phone. That should be much simpler. This is for an S23 but it's probably very similar for you:
