Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[DaniDanielle]

We had fun with the bees yesterday.  We were eating outside and one would come investigate and we would get it.  After that another one came and we got that one.  This was the game for quite awhile, my daughter and daughter-in-law would catch one and another would show up.  We decided they must send out a bee signal!  The fly swatter had quite a workout 😳🐝

We have had two turkeys roam the neighborhood and a family of four, ducklings and mom.  We are not in a wooded section so this was entertaining.

IMO, you have taken the best place to be in a lock down.  🍷🍷

Pictures quoted for effect. 
 

I wish I still had a head of hair like that. 
 

Halibut great tasting fish. My buddy,  whom I mentioned before and you gave great advice , him and his wife are both in Alaska. They went offshore Wednesday. Got a good catch.

Yes, loving it!  Got tested for Covid before we left (negative fortunately for both of us...whew!) as required by Alaska travel restrictions.  We are sooooo remote out here, 10 miles from town...last 3 down two track gravel road.  Very quiet.  Lots of Halibut stocked up now for grilling!  🙂  And of course so is the wine.  Sitting on the big deck of the cabin looking out over the bay and three glaciers on the opposite side...surreal!

Happy to hear they made it, and they are most welcome.  🙂 

 

Fishing indeed is great up here.  We both love Halibut...only kept what we wanted for the two weeks at the cabin, gave the rest to the other four (very grateful) fisherman/woman on the boat we chartered.  I also caught some Rockfish...great in Tacos and sandwiches.

Pub Subs👍

[island lady]

Subs or Hoagies, but have seen listed as Grinders....Wedge??  

 

Is that like soda in Florida, versus "pop" in Michigan where I originated from?  😉

St Louis is the green area right in the middle. They say soda. Kansas City says pop. That's how you could tell where someone was from at the University of Missouri back in the day

 

The chart indicates the south just says Coke

A little bit of Soda in South FL

Here in NYC, we tend to say "hero" or "sub."

 

And definitely "soda."  I was introduced to "pop" by folks from Michigan.

Looks great and as you said surreal. Glad you two were able to get away and enjoy. I still can remember one poster busting your b!@#$ about you being from Florida only doing cruises for vacations and getaways and now you have no life because of COVID shutting down cruising. I also remember you setting that poster straight concerning your travels. 👍 Enjoy.  🍷🍷

Interesting that I have been visiting friends and relatives in Westchester County for more than 50 years and never heard that term before.
