Thank you all for your prayers & comments. Hoping they will find peace & comfort knowing so many are praying.

I have a very urgent prayer request, please...my favorite cousin, Chris, has just been diagnosed with glioblastoma & apparently doesn't have much longer to live. I'm asking for prayers for his peaceful passing & comfort for his wife & children & the rest of his family. Thank you all!

@dfish Thinking good thoughts for you & your surgical team tomorrow! Hope all goes as planned & that you have a speedy recovery.

Don't do the Richard Deane tour on Nuku Hiva. Sounded like a great tour but---he way overbooked it - had to scramble at the pier to find more trucks & drivers. Our truck driver told us some info but when a bilingual couple got in the cab of the truck with us all conversation & info was in French ---- needless to say the rest of the tour was a wash for us. Also, Richard had a white board with all our names on it --- we were 2nd on the list but that didn't give us any advantage as to whose truck we got in.

They did deduct it from the upgrade price as well as the unlimited laundry we pre-paid.

Our Eskipoo, Max, has had & does have so many lipomas ---some have been removed, some remain.....

ADN class of 1981--- whites & caps thru graduation then just whites, thank heavens, until more colorful scrubs came along.

I used to...then you give your opinion & they still go to the dr. - I wished they would skip the middle-person (me) & just go.

Hubby is a Tommy Bahama linen pants fan.

Ports, please --- I don't cruise to just see water.

The only pair I like is the blue striped one.....the rest are awful & I wonder if it's the choice of shoes the models have on --- they're not very flattering either...IMO.

Don't know what ship you're looking at but 7085 on the Koningsdam was in the perfect location for us....steps to the Neptune Lounge & steps the other way to the elevators & stairs.

Brand & name of color, please.....thanks.

Thanks but it was in February ----

I'm joining the missed a step group a little late --- going out of BB Kings in February, I missed a step & went down....lots of "are you ok's?" -- swollen & bruised area below my knee that took maybe 2 weeks to resolve.

I so want to do this cruise! What is the name of it, please & how long?

We know Holland does these but does any other line? We would like to find a 14+ day cruise that hits ports like Grangerford & Flam as well as some others. Looking for Fall 2024. TIA!

There were some on the K -- Feb/March 35 day cruise.

We agree & were on the K.

I have a Roomba & like it but it occasionally gets stuck on a lower chair rail....I'm amazed at what a good job it does.

We had Ethan Stowell do a cooking demo as well as a 5-course dinner on our 35 day Hawaii/Tahiti/Marquesas cruise on the K.

Saw the poster for the Seafood Boil -- I wanted to try it but hubby's not crazy about some of the ingredients so we didn't.

We booked a Neptune Suite & embarking in San Diego in February was no different than regular boarding --- we were still in the monster group of people waiting to board.

Yes, you do have to give them a days notice but since your 1st night is Tamarind - just tell your waiter you need a low salt diet & he will talk to the chef & probably come back with your choices. CO isn't open for lunch so you'll need to hit them on your 1st night....it's really pretty easy except when everything that sounds good is what you can't have.

I had to laugh at your 'medical kit' prep --- I'm a retired RN & I gleaned all the 'must take' list of meds from various posters on here....stuffed them all in a nylon backpack & the only thing that came out of it (on our 35 day cruise) was Extra Strength Tylenol for our cabin steward who had a headache & stiff neck --- I gave him the bottle.
