No unfortunately I didn't

Today, Daytona HOG had our monthly PLP (Parking Lot Practice). We had about 30 people out today. 
 

This is me doing an 18’ U Turn. You should try it sometime. The width of two normal parking spaces.

I'd probably drop the bike on my foot. 😁

He also learned to dive up there. In some lake and it was snowing. 😱

Yeah, I made quite the show!  "And here she is...the Klutz Clown of the water...come to you live for her first act".  🤪

Singinalot, beautiful pictures!!!!

 

Today my DH and I were supposed to go on our very first Transatlantic ever, from Southampton, on the Anthem.  We were supposed to visit London (again, for the 1st time) during this past week.  

 

Yesterday we would have started our TA on Allure from Barcelona to Miami, after the previous B2B Med tour.  Sigh....  😞

Small world. I was born and grew up in a small village (in the Mohawk Valley) about 80 miles east of you. Left when I was 18 (in 1970) via the F&$@%N draft! Decided not to go back when I returned to the world from Vietnam. 

 

Bucky did the same thing.  He did his 2 tours in Nam...then decided not to stay when he returned to Ohio.  Drove down to Ft. Lauderdale, bought a sailboat, and shook off the effects of what he had to go through in the jungles there...by being alone on the sea.  Later simply stayed in Florida, and has been here ever since.

Talking 40 years ago, but we use to buy crappy used cars "winter rats" and put your good car in the garage for the winter.  In the spring some people would drive the cars on to the frozen lake and abandon them.  If they didn't get towed away in time, you go out in the spring and watch them sink in to the lake.

Thank him for his service.

Bucky has earned his cruises many times over.  Get that man on a ship!  (When it is safe of course)

Think you mean another ship unless there is a tiny one in the arcade on Anthem.

Marietta has likely been on that too, I hope I am as active as she is when I am an "old lady" like she claims to be!  She is an energizer bunny!🐰😷

[DaniDanielle]

I have been on all the ships merry go rounds.  Also, the sky diving simulator, that was a one and done.  I don’t do too many water slides, claustrophobic!  I did one on the Breakaway where the bottom drops and off you go😳

I will give you old age lessons for free😷

I learned to dive in an abandoned lead mine. Very clear water. Lots of cool equipment abandoned when mine played out.

It's a  3 1/2 hour drive for me on my annual trip to Beach Haven, LBI.  Forked River is always my last *ahem* rest area break just before getting off the Garden State Parkway. 🙂

I grew up in spray beach LBI and still have family house on 23rd street.   That's my happy place!   Love the island.  A lot has changed but a lot is still the same.

We had wet suits, you freeze quick, then aclimate. 

 

I grew up playing in chat piles from the lead and zinc mines. That probably explains a lot.😉

Been there done that
