Hometown advantage

I am dying to outbrag all of you by saying I don't have to travel at all to cruise, I live aboard The World by Residensea!:p

 

 

But alas, only in my dreams....:rolleyes:

[olefin32]

You must have never been here to say that! I have lived all over and west Little Rock, Hot Springs and other places around the state are as nice or better than more popular places. That is ok though, people here know they have a hidden gem!

 

Well said, thank you!

 

I don't understand why silverado44 gets out of being rude. Maybe because they are jealous! ;)

 

Seems there is always a few on every forum.

 

He/she needs to read the first sentence in my signature. :D

if you live in it and don't have to fly to get to a port. That way you can stock up on liquor and not pay overweight.

We visited N.W. Arkansas and it is nice.

We drove through E Springs, spent the day.

Just a neat, well kept Victorian town...and the ride

from XNA was, well, let's just say I wish I would have

been on my 1340 Suzuki bike instead of driving a rental car.

Lotta curves, nice blacktop road.

We have been in S FL 30 years and finally decided to

take a cruise. I was a Captain and Dive Master and

always had boats...never considered a cruise.

 

People change/get old (no more boats). We really enjoyed our

1st cruise and looking forward to a few more. We are

exactly 5.4 miles due west of Terminal 2 at Port Everglades.

 

Tremendous pleasure not having to fly.

 

Be seeing you.

We drive to our Maasdam Canada/New England cruises every summer and have to say we've never brought liquor aboard. Not to say we don't enjoy a cocktail, but we don't lug our own. We enjoy the social aspect of being in the lounges, listening to the music, people watching........

 

Not having to fly is the treat. Not lugging heavy bottles - at least that is the case for us.

I agree, those roads do have plenty curves and hills! I also enjoy that part of the country. Especially in the spring.

You may remember the train station. We never rode the train, in fact it was closed that day. But we enjoyed prowling their train yard checking out all the old engines, turntable, rail cars, etc.

Thanks

Yup, got a few shots of the ES Train in spring.

Well you sure did make the train station. And the Canada Martitime sounds interesting!

 

Here's a few more of my train pictures, the ones taken in Newfoundland came from a friend. I was there with him but never took any train pictures.
