You saw it here first! Well, maybe. I booked an extra cruise just so we would have the right number of points to get this. 😁 We also had it signed by Captain Loy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice!   Congratulations🤩

DH took this this morning at 6 a.m when she came in.  On board. We won't have internet so I won't post much but thought you might enjoy this picture.

That has to be record time for a movie to go from theater to streaming!  It's actually still in some theaters.

Spoiler alert:  The following has a happy ending.

I haven’t been posting much in the last week or two.  I’ve been in a heavy “funk” and didn’t want to burden my Dani/Bella friends with personal stuff about someone close to me that isn’t in your world.  Now I can share.

 

My NY BFF, Thea, friend of my heart, had not replied to my numerous phone calls, texts, emails for the past 2+ weeks.  Her cell mail box was full so I couldn’t leave a message.  We talk at least 2x a month and this was so unlike her.

 

 

Thea called today and said she was busy with some construction work and that she should have cleared her messages and gotten in touch with me.

 

I always am relieved when I can share good news about the people I love.

 

If you've been putting it off, or are busy, take a moment to call a friend!  It'll make them smile. 😃

Mine three...especially if I'm by myself.  One of the advantages of traveling internationally while working was that could watch a lot of movies on a plane.  That was my time to catch up on "guy flicks" while Micheline was at home catching up on "chick flicks".  

I only had one job where traveling was involved and solely in the US .

When The Irishman opened a few years ago it was also on a cable TV station.

Glad it was a happy ending & when in a funk, this is the place to be to help unload the burden, even if it's just a little bit.

Can understand your funk and all the thoughts you would have had. Glad Thea finally got in touch with you.

Our week at the holiday house is coming to an end. I like this stretch of road we drove through yesterday.

 

Early evening from the viewing point & sunset views from our deck.

Thanks. Just in case I am going to have my travel umbrella so that I can at least explore the island. Between that, a bathing suit, and water shoes I am going to make this work. I don't care so much about just lounging in the sun.

Enjoy OB, at least if you're in the sea (my fav place in the world), you're already wet, so rain won't really matter

Have a great holiday

Except  when you hear your dog (or cat) being sick at 2am then it's a problem that has to be sorted straight away. Luckily in the very rare times it happens (two nights ago) Gary deals with it 😬

Yesterday we did take the ferry to Manly and enjoyed the afternoon at the beach.  On our walk there we picked up a picnic lunch.  We don’t get in further than our knees as it’s cold!  I forgot it was the Pacific.  Hopefully when we get up to the GBR the water will be warmer.  
 

In the a.m. we did our work out and climbed the South pylon museum steps.  We saw climbers on the bridge and decided our climb of 200 steps was a good choice.
 

Today we’re planning a trip to the Queen Victoria building, maybe China town and then the Royal gardens.  Tonight is the the Sydney opera “The magic flute”. 
 

Today the “Queen Elizabeth” is parked outside our door.

Enjoying your holiday report, please keep it coming 🙂 

 

Just read your won't have Internet, hope to hear your views when you get home.

Have a wonderful cruise

Yesterday our day out was to Cliveden. 

The house has burnt down twice and has been rebuilt. It has had some famous owners including the Waldorf-Astor family. Three generations of the family ashes  are in the Chapel in the grounds which are extensive, running down to the Thames. 

One of the cottages in the grounds was the scene of the famous '60s profumo scandal 

Which was made into a mini series " the trial of Christine Keeler'  a few years ago

Great for walking molly through the extensive grounds 

Here's a view from a distance

 

the grounds just in front of the house (which is a leased as a luxury hotel)

 

the walk contines down to the Thames

Good morning.

It is windy and cloudy and a mild 52°F here.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

Best wishes for a good day for all on Dani's thread.

Happy Groundhog Day.   Which reminds me, I need to find that movie and watch it for the 💯 time.

 

Oh, and I just saw a story this morning about a Pizza Hut in Canada.  They had a very unfortunate case of autocorrect when they made this sign.

Happy Groundhog Day.

Odyssey is sailing along the north coast of Cuba making its way to Ft. Lauderdale. Looking forward to returning aboard tomorrow.🙂

Lovely outing with lovely weather.  Thanks for sharing the history of the places you visit Sue.
