One wonderful feature of my hearing aids in addition to...hearing, is that my phone calls come in through my bluetooth enbled hearing aids.  I never have to hold a phone.  Just press one button on my hearing aid to answer a call.  If the person I am speaking to hangs up I need not press anything to end the call on my end.

The other day I was talking with my bother while listening with the hearing aides.  I walked to the kitchen and almost got cut off.  😆  I forgot to carry the phone with me.

As I have posted before,when my father came to the US in 1913 he was a Soccer player and played in the Immigrant Soccer League in NY.Players were from many different European countries and all spoke their native language.My father learned bits of several.He was also working in a factory where most of the employees were Italian and eventually became fluent in several languages.His best friend ,my godfather was Italian and I learned a lot about Italy at a very young age.

Eventually I will need hearing aids as my hearing is not that good .I will keep that in mind.

Our favorite as well.We have been there many times .The overnights in Hamilton are great .In our younger days we would go to a club across the street from where the ship was docked and listen to music .

@Ourusualbeach   Hi Ken,    I forget the answer and I am sure you will know.

Does cabin 7660 have bed by bathroom or balcony on Serenade?

Radiance class ships do not alternate bed placement. 

[Ocean Boy]

Survivor anyone?

[Ocean Boy]

I don't really care if you need more wine....

I think I misunderstood?  You were talking through your phone and not your hearing aids?

I know with bluetooth in my hearing aids I can leave the phone quite a distance from where I phone chat. I also hear thru my hearing aids when listening to you tube online, instead of wearing earphones when Jack is next to me watching TV.

Was that Hogs Penny bar/restaurant in Hamilton?   They make the best Dark n Stormys, great food and music.  We love that place.

Blue tooth is typically good for about 30 ft. if there are no obstructions... like walls.

Well we did it.

 

Booked the Allure out of Galveston for next June 11, 2023

 

It is actually the cheapest fare we ever paid.

 

Not mentioning we got to use our free Junior suite casino voucher and upgraded to a CLS.

And we still cannot believe how little it cost.

 

Also

 

Booked our airfare. 

Which is also down

 

Southwest was the cheapest but we do not use them

Got a non-stop Cleveland to Houston.

Now debating on which transportation to use to Galveston.

 

Take care

 

 

Thanks for all the insight and help and also any more hints greatly appreciated.

 

Be safe

 

Well I did it again. A new claim to fame. 
 

I had 2 weeks to pick a cruise to be booked. 
 

Yup. I listed the wrong week above. 
 

Mom moment?

 

We are sailing June 4, 2023. 
 

Oh well 

 

Time to go to bed.

I do not think so.If you are at the front of the cruise port and cross the street-walk 1/2 block East there was the bar that had an upstairs and a downstairs.The upstairs was sort of open and it was non stop music.

Somewhere in my house I have a coaster that I took home as a souvenir.

I think that Hogs Penny was in the middle of the street

Hmmm, I forgot all about The New Love Boat. If this is as bad as last week this will be the last week that I'm aboard.

I will have to plant some garlic next year.    Love garlic

 

Straw this time of year is definitely much better and easier to find that it was in the Spring when I was setting up my core gardening beds.    

You can start it this week.

This bales of hay I used this year were brought last year from the same place.  I like this much better.  They said that there is a shortage this year because of the tough dry season so I am glad I found this.

I had the speaker on the phone and I was talking through it but hearing him through the hearing aids that were connected through Bluetooth. 

Right now I am watching Survivor.  I have a device attached to the TV that connects to my hearing aids by Bluetooth. I can walk a far distance from the TV and stay connected.

I do recall there being a place 2 story place with some sort of outdoor patio/deck.

Yes, you are right.  Hogs Penny is in middle of a street.

I gave up watching after 10 minutes.  Just deleted my timer to stop recording any future episodes.

[xpcdoojk]

I watched Survivor… I have seen a few ads for the New Love Boat… I was out before the first episode. 

 

On an honesty note.  I didn’t like the original Love Boat.  I did like Fantasy Island and a little bit Dallas (contemporaries)
