I dont know if its the time, the mess, the washing up, or what? My partner can spend hours cooking and it takes us minutes to eat it. I can boil water,make toast and grill cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the kettle to boil water. I normally eat the cheese before it gets in the grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like my Ex, she KNEW where the kitchen was, BUT never stepped foot in it, in fact she couldn't even boil water (ore even tried because she wasn't interested) but , in her defense, she really couldn't boil anything because she unplugged the stove🙄 We ate out EVERY night for eight years !! I knew EVERY local eating establishment's menu by heart ! Sorry, I know this was off topic about cruising😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdkstormy Posted October 18, 2019 #33 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We had done only cruises for our vacations until this year. We did our first all inclusive in Ixtapa Mexico. It was great - except for the part when I broke my foot halfway through the trip 😲 We will try again but not for a bit - our next trip in on the Reflection in January 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had someone give me some jalapeño sausages from a place called Southside Market which is somewhere near Austin (I think). They were fantastic. If I were visiting that area I would definitely try to grab some. Suspect they wouldn't make it home with me though. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDawg Posted October 18, 2019 #41 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) What is your favorite aspect for cruising Taking cruises allows me to waste time here! 😁 And cruising is a lot less dangerous than what I had to do to waste time on a Hockey Goaltenders BB.

chipmaster Posted October 18, 2019 #45 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We cruise when we feel we need the following 1) Go to places that simply can't be had w/o a ship --> Alaska 2) We want to see a lot of places and they all happen to be doable all by ship These days after you figure in cost of everything the only thing that can't be touched is 1) and 2). Land trip for 2) lots of overhead between pack/unpack and transportation from point to point even a turnkey land based tour can't beat the conveneience of a cruise. Nothing is for free, sure eating is now almost decisionless as is entertainment for some is stress reduction. Food, inferior on a ship, entertainment inferior on a ship, choices inferior on a ship, dang everything is inferior, take it when 1) and 2) win out, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
