So here we are. Got our taxi at 3:30 am. Got to airport, checked bags and through security by 4:00. Plane is at gate and scheduled to leave on time. Snowed a couple of inches so far but runway is clear.

Here's our transportation.

Safe travels.

Thanks. See you soon.

[A&L_Ont]

Forget the planes. How about Vision of the Seas. 
 

[h20skibum]

Well now, isn’t this one moving fast.   I wish I was sailing with you all on this one, but it just didn’t work out.  
 

My plan, in following along, was to have a drink every time I saw the word “drink” posted, or I saw a picture of a drink.  Somehow, I think I have to lower that goal.

 

Safe travels to all, and have a great cruise.

[Lionesss]

Last night as I was attempting to fall asleep but found it difficult with the anticipation of the “snow storm” but more importantly.  “THE BELLA CRUISE”. I had an idea of something I have often seen and personally experienced while cruising. 
 

Now the medical term is; OEDEMA. 
 

But cruisers know it as; CANKLES. 
 

Yup, swollen ankles. 
 

In the past we have also  had the opportunity to view others who suffer from this malady. 
 

Now causes can vary and are not limited to just a few. 
Namely:

-consumption of mass quantities of salty food

-lack of exercise due to consumption of mass quantities of alcohol, causing one to be stationary, and or inability to walk or even to consume mass quantities of salty  food which a sober person may not do.

So here-in pictured posted is the pre-cruise/travel baseline of my feet with ankles easily visualized. 
 

As time goes on, updates will be presented. 
 

 

These two feet will be a necessary attribute to my reporting during this cruise as well as getting me wherever I need to go. 
 

For example. The track. We are hoping to continue to walk at least once a day and get our steps in. 
 

Ok Enough about feet. 

(But isn’t that a pretty nail polish  color). 
 

More exciting topics to be presented and not limited too. 
Posting cruise compass (😜). 

Chair Hogs

Tips,  not typsy 

Promenade sales

Food porn 

 

Too name a few. 
 

That’s all for now.

Im really not liking my job right now because I was to be joining all of you until work cancelled all vacations until April 1 due to deadline. P.S. We are not making deadline anyway!  
 

I hope to hear from my TA for Bella Cruise Part Two!  Please not Jan-March 😀

 

 

Sounds like our software upgrade “deadline”. Extended…but I’m not complaining. WAY too much to still get done anytime soon. 😕

Exactly what it is!  With the fiscal year end they had high expectations to get everything rolled out and migrated by Mar 31.  

[Mapleleafforever]

Right on!!

Looking forward to following along with your great adventure. I am sure it will be epic!

Also stressing about the snow storm.   About 25 hours until we board our flight.  Hopefully it’s all cleared out of here by then.

 

 I also suffer from the malady of cankels. I’m very careful not to add salt to anything and find it’s helpful.

 

Your polish is very pretty.  I’ll be the one with the green polish for St. Patrick’s Day.

Beautiful colour, exactly what I would of chosen. 

What's your step aim ? I always have good intentions to hit the gym, walk the decks but never live up to my expectations. 

Safe travels to port

Left the house at 6, took the toll highway yo avoid traffic.  Breezed through luggage check in and customs with only one minor delay.  My carry on got pulled aside so they could check out the 2 crystal blocks I'm bringing to the cruise.

 

We don't fly that much and I had a free companion fare that was going to expire and I found out I could trade that for complimentary lounge access at the airport.  Much nicer sitting here gor 2 hours than at the gate.

 

Definitely getting closer.

This Polish/Slovak girl will also have some green on for St. Patricks day.  After all it is one of my favorite colors.

 

Currently snowing here.

Plan on leaving for Cleveland after lunch.

Dinner at Max and Ermas, tonight a tradition.

Then staying at a hotel that offers park and fly, with transportation to the airport.

Yes, I actually buy that color online and take it with me to the pedi-place.  There is just something about sharing nail polish for pedis, especially since I only have 2 feet.

 

I was upto 15,000 steps which is for me around 5 miles.

But the hip is not cooperating, so I have to now settle for 10,000 which is around 3-3 1/2 miles.

But when I take Ibuprofen, I am able to do more.

But, hate taking any more meds than I have to.

How exciting for you.

When we pack I usually put all the questionable items in the spouses carryon, just in case he gets pulled outside by TSA questioning the contents of his bag.

Once he was randomly pulled aside and swabs were taken looking for explosives.  He passed.

Saves me the trouble of having hot flashes and looking guilty.

Ken, thanks for all your hard work and commitment in seeing to the success of our FOB cruise.
