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

[Ozark_Kid]

We had no expectations of seeing this in North Central Arkansas but our neighbors texted us to come out and see.

 

 

Our DD in Central Arkansas took this one. 

 

And a neighbor of hers took this one.

 

Not the same as the northern states however still nice.

@Ocean Boyif you don’t mind me asking a medical question I was prescribed Ativan as needed for occasional anxiety and insomnia which seemed to be working pretty well. Dr switched me to Klonopin as my personal issues which I won’t get into became more difficult. I know they’re both benzos and assumed the effects would be similar but whenever I take Klonopin before bedtime (which is also when I would take Ativan) I’m very groggy and a little loopy for a few hours after I get up which never happened with Ativan. Is that just me or do they work differently?

They are both benzodiazepams. However, they do have different chemical structure and you may be metabolizing the two drugs differently. Possibly, you might do better with a different benzo. You should talk to your doctor as you shouldn't have to lose a few hours of the morning.

What a lovely view! It’s even better when it’s as warm as it’s been today.

Have a Happy Mother’s Day all.

We are driving to Fort Lauderdale today, boarding the Beyond tomorrow for a 6 night cruise. Ports are Coco Cay, Grand Cayman and Bimini. First time to Bimini.

Will post some pictures.

Capt. Kate didn't do a captain's log today. I wonder if that means she is too busy getting ready to leave on her rotation off? I kind of looked forward to her daily posting.

A few photos from here last night. Just had to walk out past the barn lights for the best views. I’ve never seen them like this at home ever. I’ve seen them at our place in Alberta but that is much further north. 
 

I thought Hailey’s Comet was amazing but this beat it hands down. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, great pictures

So I've got a bit of a survey for the men with grown children on the thread... 

 

Do you buy your wife a present for Mother's Day?

We were bummed as others in our city had success. We will try again tonight. We drove about 30 minutes outside the city to get away from the light pollution but did not see anything. 

It was around midnight in the UK. As Andrew says the colours are more prominate viewed through a phone

Whatever. I know what it is like to go around in circles with you as well as to try to teach you something that you have no desire to learn. So I'm not going to even begin to waste my time.

What did you ever try to teach me ?

Sleeping on the boat tonight. Had a good first day of the season on the River. Up early tomorrow and hope to get to Marlow by River.

Went to a pub in a tiny village next to the Marina which has three restaurants/pubs with 7 Michelin stars between them. Our pub wasn't one of them but it was very good food

No.

With that said we rarely buy each other gifts for any holiday.  We just consider what we want/need at the time and buy it.  When others ask what we got each other for Christmas or a birthday etc we just mention a cruise close to that date.

We like spending on what we personally like not what we think the other will like.

Example,   I have had fishing lures given to me because people knew I loved fishing.   Most of the times I didn't use them. Not the right kind.

I never did. And that was reciprocated on Fathers Day as well.

@sgmn  I’d love to see pictures of your sleeping arrangements on the boat… if you want to share.  I’d think it would be really relaxing rocking to sleep on your boat!

Tramadol is also equivalent to Oxycodone .

I have no desire to get into a pharmaceutical debate but they both are used to treat moderate or severe pain.Both are immediate release.Both are controlled substances.Both have the risk of withdrawal.I did not state that the components are the same .I said they are similiar.

You did not say they are similar in your first post. You said they are equivalent which is different. They are definitely not equivalent as the good dr @Ocean Boy said. You aren’t seriously going to argue with a dr about medications are you?

I agree. IMO, the last few years Survivor seems to be more scripted and way to soft compared to previous years.  But...

 

No need to do that. 😉

Here is our cabin for the week.  Stateroom 8083 which is one of a few that can have 2 twin beds as opposed to one king (they don't separate like Royal's so you avoid that hump in the middle.  Pretty nice location, nice and close to the aft elevators.
