Just one glass of wine?

What a beautiful day! 29 and very sticky here.

It's tea time! Have a scoop for me, too. Are you able to post a photo or two?

I have just pulled out our photos of the residence and fondly remember wandering away from our guide to find our own treasures. Rooms without other tourists 😄

We are awake and ready to go...

Hopefully we will be able to join you too. RB

Not all cruise lines have electric assist bikes. But I wish they did 😁.

A huge thank you to Notamermaid for starting this thread and to JPAlbany for the beautiful 'end of the line' photos. Following along and participating has been such a fun and educational journey. We still have a way to go before we can travel as freely as we once did, but we will eventually get to see in person what we have seen in the photos in this thread. RB

I agree the Uniworld decor is not anything like I have in my home, but it does make me feel like I am staying with a special auntie. A bit eccentric and dearly loved.

Thanks for taking us along on your cruise. So many of us are in need of positive stories to give us hope. RB

Yes, there are many approaches and many comfort zones, but a major difference is which country you are from. Here in Canada we do not have all of the different credit cards and features the Americans have. We have had chip and pin for quite some time and now because of the pandemic many businesses have adjusted limits and terminals so it is a truly hands free transaction...just flash your card at the terminal and go. Where we live there are many retailers who are debit and credit only. No cash, so germs are not spread to cashiers. I have not used cash in 15 months. RB

Daisi, What a bummer. It seems as if the larger centres just can't get their youknowwhat together. I know people in Ottawa who drove to Kingston back in March to get their shots. Our second shots were also set, but now with the acceleration we jumped on it. Good luck, RB

Daisi, many health units in the province have their own registration system so you don't have to go through the provincial web site. There has been a lot of border hopping, all you need is a valid OHIP number. Now that pharmacies are also giving shots a phone call is all that is required. Yesterday my hubby called the pharmacy located in a grocery store and got his second Pfizer jab today. RB

Here in SW Ontario in our county health unit we are now able to book our 2nd jab well in advance of the original time line. My first Moderna jab was in April with the second scheduled for the 21st of July. Called today and got an appointment for this Friday. Once needle is in the arm I will cancel the July one. That means I will be fully vaccinated by Canada Day 🇨🇦🎆. RB

Why does it look as if the original heads have been replaced with these grumpy looking ones?
