Gorgeous photos! @harryfat1

Merry Christmas! We are so much enjoying following along on your wonderful live review. Thanks! 😊@Rubyfisch

It was because it was just the head left...with the red cake inside. It was kind of grisly looking. 😃

That's too bad. Always a very sad thing. Thanks for letting us know.

What a nice thing to do! That is a really big pan. I don't think it would fit in our oven. Did she happen to mention how they were going to cook it? What a wonderful, kind thing you folks did for them. ☺️

It definitely doesn't look like butter. ☺️

No. She played with it and batted it around under the car for a while, and then Bill went and recovered it. We may take it next door and tell them it is now her toy. ☺️ Since she decided she wants it.

As we are slowly purging 50+ years of accumulated stuff, we have some giveaway boxes of stuff on the front porch. We posted it on Nextdoor, but Bill will probably take most of it down to the donation center next week. However, our neighbor's kitten "Chanel" decided she was interested in specific item and wanted to grab it. It is a little stuffed animal, a hedgehog, with a felt nose and real rabbit fur pelt. We picked up a short clip on the camera of her pilfering it. 😃☺️ https://video.nest.com/clip/614f6728e04046bb93487235f119fa58.mp4

(If you have an internet package) It sounds like maybe they don't. Set it up and try it from home first.

But how do you get over there? We can Uber to OAK, and there are some reasonable Park/Sleep/fly hotels in San Jose. And our favorite hibachi restaurant, House of Genji is there. But SFO is just awkward. Uber, shuttles are expensive as are hotels, where we can park. So, I would be interested. ☺️ Never mind. I forgot. When we took my mom and friend on Alaska cruise for a 9 days, we just parked in the lot at SFO. Our international trips were much longer, so we did not park at the airport.

Unless we are flying international, we truly try to avoid flying out of SFO and prefer OAK or even SJC. Have a nice flight, I hope you can get some rest on the overnight. And have a wonderful cruise. Merry Christmas to you and your family! ☺️

They make it so you can't use both. We just wait to sign up for internet until the end of the cruise so we can use our free days and a reduced rate on remaining days.

We had King Tides last week that lightly flooded SF waterfront. Is that just from rain? It looks awful.

@HBE4 You were talking about Leonard and what he might do when he experiences snow. I just looked at the funniest compilation of photos today with cat prints in the snow, leading out of the house and circling quickly back to the door. It is called, "The Circle of Nope". 😃 "I am not going out in the snow. " Google has it easily, but I am not going to post the link. It is kind of click baity.

Curious. What are the bright yellow things in the Crown Lounge? ☺️

They never say it is in Canada. I think Buffy, the Vampire Slayer was filmed in Canada, but it was supposed to be a US high school. 🙄 And Reacher is a US Veteran, he doesn't wander around Canada. LOL. ☺️

I believe on our Transpacific, that the Australians told us that gratuities were included in their cruise fare, as sold. The price was all in. Nothing additional was taken out onboard.

I'm glad it went well. It wasn't in play at ours. The person who opened it, really wanted it and hid it. 😃 New people who didn't quite understand the rules. And with the seating arrangement at Cheesecake Factory, it was difficult to see all the gifts. ☺️ It was fun, we had a good time. When it was my turn, I stole a bottle of Maker's Mark. (Which I knew would be stolen from me) Which allowed me to steal the box of Belgian chocolates, which is what I really wanted. 😃

I don't think they will be sharing that information at any time. I know the Indian casino by our other house takes in approximately a million dollars/day. They actually do a lot of good things for the community with all that money. I don't know about Royal Caribbean. ☺️

One of the times we used the bag, we ended up short a sock. It was probably our miscount; we tend to fill it late at night. They must have called us 3 times to apologize about that darn sock. We kept assuring them, that it was no problem. ☺️

Wow! That is a much more robust meat & cheese plank than what we received last time. ☺️ Ours was kind of sparse.

Posturepedic and a few other companies make adjustable bed frames.

This kind of reminds me of coyote sightings on Nextdoor. One seems to pop up every other day. Stingrays live there. Coyotes live here. It is not uncommon to see them. ☺️

I would expect that the small segment cruisers might be more inclined to gamble more. If you are going to be on a cruise for a long period of time, it might not be that interesting to toss money at the casino.

Thank you so much. I understand. I signed up for Medigap right away. I am trying to address a few questions that a friend has. I appreciate your explanation. ☺️
