Lois, I'm sure you will enjoy Eclipse. I hope you will have sunnier weather. All in all, everything worked out fine.
Eclipse is one of our favorite ships

Kat, I’ve bought a white mesh sling. Both doc & pt said wear it in the airport & in big crowds (Arizona Memorial). It’s very light & breathable. Thanks for the udon restaurant. I think I’ve been there. I’m very familiar with Diamond Head Market & Leonard’s. We aren’t cruising this trip, it’s strictly land vaca.
Lois, great shoes! They’ll go with so many things.

Les is coming along, he has to have to injections (1 each eye) on Friday. Neither of us are looking forward to that. It’s to reduce edema (swelling) in the eye.

We’ll be at the Hale Koa again next month (all 14 of us). Can’t beat the great lodging prices for military & retired military. We also really like Outrigger & Royal Hawaiian.

We always request cheese instead, get a little protein while we’re dressing for the evening

Lois, DSW has a good sale going on

I had my PT exam today & tested out at 98%!! I’m feeling really good & lose the sling tomorrow! Les is still struggling with the vision. He’s having his eye injections on 24th; hopefully that will reduce the swelling behind the retinas.
today was the first warmish day we’ve had in quite awhile. It’s thundering & raining now (we really need the rain)
Lois, do you have a Tradehome shoe store close to you? I find most of my nice sandals, sneakers & casual shoes there. Melody

Melody - in WA state you can apply for a jury exemption - don't know the process but maybe CO has the same option.
We got the vacation exemption fir Kes on voting, they gave him another date in July.

I have the cooling neckbands that I bought on Amazon. You can wrap around your neck (like a boa) or put under your hat. My husband swears by them when doing yard work too

One last question re disembarkation. Guest Services told me we have to be out of the cabins at 7 and to go to Raw on 5 where wheelchair assistance was first come first serve. But the disembarkation letter said to go to Raw on 5 at your scheduled departure time…which is 8:15. So if we leave the cabin at 7 and go to the Elite waiting area in Tuscan…my husband will have to wheel me there…then come back to the cabin to get our one carry on bag and my crutches. Then at 8 or so when we go to Raw on 5 he’ll need to make two trips again. Does this sound correct?
I’d go to the concierge & ask for assistance with the wheelchair for disembarking. You should be able to go to RAW or Tuscan in your wheelchair. Your crutches should fit in the back of the wheelchair & you could hold the carryon. Only one trip.
it’s much less expensive to buy a travel wheelchair on Amazon rather than rent one.

There is zero disqualification for age for jury duty in CO. I know FL (& I think MA) top age is 70.

Great so you can find other dates and work around Hawaii hopefully
He’s already rescheduled for mid July

Well Les is 75 & he got called. We get one postponement for vacation, health or work. We had to give a date he was available within 60 days

So sorry about your leg! The hand towels (taped into place) on the arm rest of the crutches can be a life saver. Also make sure tge crutches aren’t too short or too tall for you. That makes a huge difference in being able to crutch correctly.
I fell on Silhouhette in February & destroyed my shoulder (just had shoulder replacement surgery). The ship could not do enough for me. I sat in the front seat of park&go van (one step up). A car ride home would’ve been better than wheelchairs through Atlanta (everlastingly grateful we were in first class)
heal well & quickly.

You’re probably all really tired if our medical crap (I know we are). Les is having to have injections in each eye on 24th (can’t get med in before then) to reduce the edema (swelling). Poor guy. Has been under the medical gun this year. Then he gets a jury summons while we’re in Hawaii…did a vacation postponement. How old do you have to be to stop getting jury summons??? Melody

Thank you for another wonderful ‘live’ review. I appreciate your keen eye for photos & the witty repartee. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next adventure of Jim & Iain. Melody

Having just had a shoulder replacement, our next cruise will not be carryon only.

First time in Yellowstone in 1959. I was 8. Caught my first fish & won the tourney. I guess it was good sized! Don’t know what happened to pictures…too many moves. I do not camp since I left Girl Scouts! Melody
