@Saint Greg  Looking forward to following along on another cruise adventure with you!

 

A little off-topic, but I wanted to offer my congrats on your website.  It must be getting some serious traffic these days because I Googled to find who will be our CD for an upcoming Alaskan cruise we've booked and your website popped up number 2 in the search results!  That's mighty impressive being listed at the top of any Google search result. 👍

 

Thanks! Yeah I had a bit of a jump last year when google found me.

For those who do the all-state rewards they have this going on under sweepstakes. You can use your points for up to 200 tickets per day. The question is can I remember to log in and buy tickets next week. I doubt it. But I’ll try. I got my 200 today. It was 10,000 points for 200 tickets.

 

 

 

 

WOW!!  Look at the number of points Saint Greg has!  You must be a really safe driver😉

I don't even have all-state. I have USAA. They send out emails every so often with a code you can put in for points. At one point they had a code that could be used over and over again and we all got like a million points. They took some of those away though. But like today on the all-state thread there's a 1,000 point code.

For August I was kind of eyeballing the celebration cruise that goes to St. Thomas. I’m not sure which week that one is but I’ve kind of made other plans that rules out and cruise leaving the weekend of the 20th or getting back on the 20th. That one may have been the week of the 27th though.

 

 

 

 

We have tickets to the Friday and Sunday Metallica event at AT&T.  Can't Wait.  We are doing the Venezia out of New York in late September for the 15 day Journeys cruise.

 

Loving the Review.  Safe travels, Greg

We were on the Magic for last year's Super Bowl and the only place that I recall being very crowded was Red Frog. The game was on everywhere. We are also on this this cruise too, so back to back Magic Super Bowl cruises for us. St. Kitts and St. Martin are our favorite ports, as we are beach people (and drinkers!)

3 days and counting.............

Sounds good. I hope that's the case that lido isn't crowded.

Since your cruise director is Rico, you’ll have to roll your r’s.  He was on the Panorama for the 2 weeks I sailed in January, and he said his name has 5 r’s, so Rrrrrico.  I liked him.  Lots of positive energy.

Can't do it.

I can’t either, but the entire Fun Squad had learned to do it.  Every time Rico was on stage he reminded the whole crowd about the 5 r’s.

That's cool.  I know when people ask for menus and stuff I'll direct them your way.  :)

 I didn’t predict it. The weather channel app did.

After Celebration I said I’d have a new phone for this one. Well the 12 month trade in deal that went to 15 months last time…has now gone to 18 months. So I could’ve still done my December upgrade but they wanted an additional $200-300 from me. So I’ll be upgrading next month.

April 2024 is my ABC on Horizon.
 

I haven’t seriously looked into what to do. I do have notes I do sometimes years in advance. Checking that I have notes from May of 2020. Pandemic planning I guess. I don’t have anything started for curaçao. For Aruba I have flamingo beach and I guess a couple of excursions I was interested in. Top 10 of Aruba and best of Aruba. For Bonaire I have pink flamingos and salt flats.

Highly recommend Trikes Aruba we had a blast and have done it several times and still gave us plenty of time to go to the beach and Bugaloo's and then taxi back to ship

Those kinds of things are usually two seaters and not allowed for one person.

The Trikes in Aruba are a one person in front, one in back (FB photos show a few one person riders).  I recommend contacting them if you are interested.

I've looked at it in another port and one person couldn't do it. But I don't think I'd be interested anyway.

When I did the trikes in ArubA, it was one seat up front and two seat behind.

Greg, if you do take in the Super Bowl, you might want to keep an eye out for the 30-second ad the Mets are running. Apparently it will air in the 45 minutes before kickoff and again during the first half. It features Nimmo, Lindor, and Mr. Met. 🙂

Glad to have caught this one from the beginning. Thanks for taking us along.

[Saint Greg]

Last night I went to see The Amazing Maurice. I was expecting a cat movie but it was more about the mice. 

They have a good deal this month. I don’t know why they never advertise this. Back in September they had a deal where you could get a $6 combo (small popcorn and drink) or an $8 combo (medium popcorn and drink). I assume they had a large for $10.

 

This week they’ve been ringing me up a medium combo for $7. This will likely be for the entire month. I’m assuming they have a $5 small and maybe a $9 large. But it’s a great deal. This is $7 and it’s normally $15.

At lunch today I went to the store and picked up some SPF. So I just need to remember to put it in my suitcase

It always scares me when I get that “important information about your flight” email and it turns out to be nothing.
