Hi Bob & Steve!

Thanks for setting this up. It will be fun to do some posting along the way and to track any covid issues.

Our Hawaiian Santa is doing well, but back in hibernation until next season.  He was disappointed when our December cruise to Hawaii was cancelled, we had promised to take him along with us.

Will be watching your report. I am especially curious about the temperature on deck on the way to and from the islands. Wondering if we will need some warm clothing. Happy cruising!

[Newly Retired Teachers]

We both tested negative this morning, so now it's time to over pack!

Thanks for starting this "live" thread.

I look forward to meeting you guys onboard.  I have a lot of friends in Palm Springs so maybe we have some mutual friends?

I'm cruising solo on this voyage.

Shouldn't this thread be incorporated into the roll call?

Not usually. People not on the cruise don’t look at the roll call normally.  Most “live” are done on this board where we all can see/find it.

We are so happy you are taking us along on your cruise!

🛳🎉BON VOYAGE🎉🛳

Have a great cruise!  Thanks for doing a “Live From”; we’re stuck in the land of ice and snow, so appreciate living vicariously through you.  BTW, my DH is also a retired educator . . . Enjoy your retirement!

[SilvertoGold]

OP:  Negative: wonderful!  May embarkation go smoothly as the seas that await you!

Not sure why we are upside down.  It’s only martini #1.
