Rare bobmacliberty Posted March 10, 2023 #176 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Wow. I play golf and go out to dinner, only to find that I'm 8 pages behind before I even get started. Wish we could have joined you, but I fully expect that I'll be able to live vicariously through you guys on this thread. Greg - I've got a drink to add to your list...a toasted pecan old fashioned. Tasty. It uses William Wolf pecan flavored bourbon, but that might be unlikely onboard. At only 60 proof, it's like drinking a mocktail. In any case, I'm sure you'll report on the bourbon situation onboard. Maybe you can find a friendly bartender who can squeeze a late night XXO onto your drink package. 😉 Safe travels and Bon Voyage to everyone! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Some attribute the malady to the desalination process of the water 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I have one in my checked bag. Couldn't fit it into the bella case. Maybe I should rethink.

Last cruise, I elevated my feet while in the cabin, and that really helped. Phooey on drinking less to make it better. 😁 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to Wonderland but that pace for eating dinner would kill me, plus the portions I have seen are so tiny, I guess that is a reason you had 9 cocktails there, the down time between food would drive me crazy. I don't think we ever want to try Wonderland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Laura's LOVE bracelets always put her in the position for secondary screening. Usually it's a quick pass over with a wand. Much worse at airport. I got nabbed with a new roll of toothpaste in Copenhagen. Of course it was Laura's 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebody Posted March 10, 2023 #193 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Long time "Bella" lurker here. Watching you all pack up and hitting the air and roads to head to Miami for the cruise reminds me of the Seinfeld finale where you see everyone packing up and heading out to go to the trial.
