It was a lovely evening and I'm so glad we made it happen. Dani, I'm happy to see that you were able to enjoy time with friends. Hopefully that can become a regular thing soon. Wishing you all the best. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been several months and see you've all been very busy chatting away. While I won't be able to go back and read the several hundred pages, I hope everyone is doing well, safe and healthy. We've had a few bumps in the road recently. Unfortunately, Doug had a health issue a while back and turned out he was bleeding internally. After a 5-night hospital stay, running several tests and receiving 3 pints of blood, it was determined to be a reaction to some blood thinner medication he was on. Once the medication was discontinued, he was quickly on the mend. He did have to take a few rounds of iron infusions to get his blood count back up. He's totally fine now and back to normal. Now that things are back to normal, we've been spending quite a bit of time up at our lake house working on our kitchen re-do. It's almost done. Cabinets, hardware new floor and new appliances. The final thing is ordering the new countertop. Now, to start planning our excursions for our next cruise. I'm glad Doug's health scare is behind you. It's nice you've been able to enjoy time at your lake house, especially since you're doing a kitchen remodel. I bet it looks great! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We liked the freedom of having a car the night before. We stayed in the Orlando area a couple of times and drove to the port the next morning. If we did that, we used Enterprise since they are right by Gator's and it's easy to drop the luggage and everyone else first, before I returned the car and caught a shuttle back to the port. We now drive to the port (about 3 hours away) but our kids are flying in to MCO for our next cruise. They will get an Uber and stay near the port. I'm not sure about price difference between renting, Uber, and shuttle, especially with more than just a couple of people (since the shuttle cost is per person). Thanks. I'm like you in that I like the freedom a car provides and in the past, have done the one-way rental since we would stay in the Orlando area a few days pre-cruise & at the time, I could use a very sizable corporate discount to rent from Hertz. But this time, I'm going directly from airport to hotel for a one night stay and then have the option of taking the hotels cruise port shuttle or having my friends that are cruising with me (and driving to the port) pick me up, although space is limited in their car & my check-in time is an hour earlier 🙂 10:30 am baby!!!!😁 The shuttle advertises the price as "starting as low was $30 pp" which probably makes it the cheapest option. But that's direct from airport to the cruise port, going to the hotel is extra. And the thought of the time wasted waiting to load all the passengers onto the bus & then going to a half-a-dozen hotels before mine is not appealing either. I'd gladly pay more for Uber or reconsider renting a car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we get lost easily I’d we don’t know the area. So if Uber is available we rather pay extra. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we brought a kneeboard out today, because one grandson wanted to give it a try. Next time, we may bring the wakeboard for him to try. I remember reading about “Banana George” when I was younger, and he was skiing in his 70’s. It seemed, as young kids, we were amazed that someone would be doing that at such an “old” age. That was my goal, to be like him. After going down one of those rabbit holes, I had to look him up again, and he actually kept skiing into his 90’s. Now I have a new goal. I have never heard of a knee board before! That must be fun! Great way to spend these oppressively hot days! Lucky kids!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted July 15 #125747 Share Posted July 15 @ValerieJo So good to hear from you! That must have been so scary for you and Doug. I'm so glad that the problem was discovered and dealt with in the hospital. Jim is on so many meds, I just asked him if he is on a blood thinner after reading about Doug, but he said no. He takes low dose aspirin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
