awhfy

Kat looks fabulous (night mode really works on that phone). Have a fabulous time Lois, I’m relieved that you have a cane & how nice that the hotel director gave it to you. Balancing on the ball of your foot without the cane to help with balance wouldn’t be fun (or safe). Melody

Kat have a great trip!!! Lois safe trip getting home

Maybe you can find a cane or walking stick in the airport. Safe trip

Lois, are you able to bear any weight on your leg? Will the cruise line let you take the crutches/cane? Hope you have a safe trip home

TB is always a go too & Chaps SPF shirts are his go too. The Columbia SPF shirts & Eddie Bauer SPF shirts work well too. He’s also a big fan of the Eddie Bauer SPF Ascent shirts & trekker pants

I’m sorry you’re not enjoying your long-awaited cruise. Hope you start feeling better soon

Decadence (on right) & Tropitini

Oh Lois that just stinks! Hope it’s not a serious injury. Could you do a wheelchair more comfortably than a crutch or cane

Have a fabulous cruise; glad you made it safely

Exactly what I was going to post Alidor!!! our first cruise from Hawaii (to Vancouver) was 6 weeks after my husband’s colon cancer surgery (no knowing if he’d be around). 3 years later we did Vancouver to Hawaii (on Celebrity) for our 50th anniversary. & spent an additional week in Hawaii following. Still our absolute favorite cruise. We kept saying to each other, why did we wait so long?? We’re thinking about another Vancouver to Hawaii cruise for our 55th in 2024. It is longer than a week (5 sea days before Hawaiian islands). Plan on 2-3 days in Hawaii following the cruise. Melody

I always take a wrap

We have the 13ProMax too. Les didn’t even take his big bag of cameras & lens this past cruise! Fabulous pictures. Kat, play with the night settings. The portrait setting will automatically blur the background. Fun camera tgat actually works as a phone!! Melody

Luggage. I think I’ve had every brand. I loved my Tumi, it got lost 😢. I adored my Briggs & Reilly, it’s just too heavy nowadays. I’ve had pretty good luck with Delsey Air. But our new favorites are TravelPro Crew we have the 25” & 21” bags. They’ve been on 5 big trips & still look brand new. Lightweight & sturdy hope you all have great trips!!! Melody

Good news Lois

Awesome! I love snow ‘machining’. Our niece lives in upstate New Hampshirite & we ride with them anytime we’re back in winter, it’s a hoot! Nothing like flying on a frozen lake!!

I used to work on Pan Am (& Delta was our reciprocal airline for life…unfortunately it was life of the airline).

I’d put it under the seat in front of me & use it as a footrest

It’s 7 am. 72 inside house, 84 already outside. Going up to 90+ again today. We do have the chance of monsoon rain this afternoon. Lois I know you’re traveling this upcoming week, be safe. Sherry, enjoy the Wildman. Sharon you’re in Europe soon Kat you’re on your barge adventure very soon. I might go to Costco 😎. Y’all have fun!! Want to see pictures!!!

I like the Lancôme mascara

Anita, thanks for the hint on the Wave Cafe, love a good omelet. Sabor is the Mexican, they have fabulous guac & excellent margaritas

You will be Diamond on Royal (that’s the highest reciprocal status match). You will get 4 vouchers a day

We’re thinking Chops, 150 Central Park, Jaimie’s (at lunch) & maybe hibachi. Our airfare was ridiculously expensive (more than we paid for first class in April & this is Southwest, not happy but…

Our first meeting with our great grand dog. Sir Winston is a 10 wk old Bassett hound, he’s 26 lbs (but look at those paws). So cute. Melody

We got to meet our great grand dog this weekend. Sir Winston is a 10 week old basset hound, he’s already 26 lbs. he’s so cute!! Melody

Anita, it’s just going to be Les & I & our sis-in-law. A way to ‘get away from the crowd’
