Might be trouble for me with a 14.5%. Oh well, you only live once! 😁 Chas, you have a great eye! I didn't even notice the "low" until you mentioned it. I need to be more attentive. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueSeraSera Posted July 9, 2021 #10810 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Elsa bringing a flash flood warning & tornado watch here, all kinds of alarms going off. Someone send a smallish cruise ship up the James River; the Shadow preferred. After boarding all VS members, we can stop at Williamsburg with excursions then head out to the Atlantic. After, set sail for Canada or Colorado, anywhere where its not raining. Let's have a 3rd glass tonight... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, just experienced this with my daughter & her family. It went well, the only problem was the visit had to end.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 9, 2021 #10818 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Had two glasses of Mollydooker 'The Boxer' last night – finally a Shiraz that lives up to the reputation! Had to have the waitress decant the end for me, so I could drink every drop without the sediment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare spinnaker2 Posted July 9, 2021 #10821 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Morning all, I think, from South Florida. I sit at my table and there is no one coming by to ask me what I want for breakfast. There is no one pouring coffee or bringing my doppio. No lovely napery. No sound of the sea. No gulls. No turquoise blue wake to look at. It is, however, very hot and humid. It is good to be home. Edited July 9, 2021 by spinnaker2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment here in Western Australia we are having cold wind and rain, especially today so your wonderful stories of Greece helped brighten my day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted July 9, 2021 #10823 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Welcome home Spins! I hope your travel went smoothly! Your pics and colour commentary were spectacular! Indeed a treat to look forward to each day! Thanks for that! 🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare frantic36 Posted July 9, 2021 #10824 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Spinnaker2 I could very much relate to one aspect of your commentary. My husband has back issues and tries to keep fit. Difficult in these times of multiple disappointments and lockdowns. So we go from being able to do major hikes to not being able to do much exploring. Your sharing has helped inspire us both that even on the down times we could have a great time with things like S.A.L.T. as we enjoy exploring new foods. That is why I say thank you very profoundly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frantic We were determined to take this cruise and to make it work. It was not without challenges. We did try some excursions, but DH can not stand for any length of time and finding a place to sit down was not always easy. And yes, I can totally understand going from hiking to a more sedentary lifestyle. We just must adapt to it! But aren’t we all adapting to this new life that we have been handed! We are so fortunate that we could do this cruise and regain some perspective of the world. Initially lots of the conversations amongst pax were about coping with covid life and lockdowns. As well, those people we encountered in the ports wanted us to know what they had experienced and how it had impacted their lives. I hesitate to use the term catharsis because that word/concept is NOT ENOUGH. We will never regain what has been lost. But we do have the future. We all have a story to tell. For me, I will listen, and learn and hope. And move forward as best I can. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
