I'll add that we're Valerie & Gary 🙂

 

Also, we could use some recommendations for a pre-cruise hotel. We've never been to NYC (aside from flying through JFK) We have the elite transportation to/from the port, but would love to hear peoples' favorite places if anyone cares to share 🙂

good morning everyone 203 days to go

Today back to my kidney doctor to discuss results of biopsy.  So, finding a solution to and finding a way to contain or fight back are deep on my mind.  A lot of questions what to do and what was found.  So, I am not fully concentrated on our cruise.  Perhaps answering questions, will help.

Forming two lists today

1.Tink10 asks about a precruise hotel and suggestions.

2.Meet and greet list, when and where.  Any suggestions.

saw my kidney doctor, and I do have an immune disease in the kidney, but not lupus.  Prescribed Losartan, not a cure, but an effort to contain the disease.  We shall see.

hello and good morning, the restaurant in Barbadoes, someplace the taxi driver took us.  Unfortunately, that was so long ago, that I forgot the name, but it was for locals and it was good.
