I’m very sorry for your loss . I am neither Pauline or Graham however we have sailed on the QM2 out of Southampton and stayed on the QM in Long Beach, CA . The ship is too formal for me . The library is extremely nice . I didn’t attend any of the lectures. The buffet was not to my liking. I didn’t want to dress for dinner so never made it to the dining room . The staff was polite and helpful. it was just not my cup of tea . I mentioned this years ago and Lady Hudson replied she enjoyed the ship . So whatever rocks your boat. I’ve begun watching Murder and Other Options and the series takes place on an art deco ship which reminds me of the QM . Enjoy your cruise on Cunard. We very much liked our repositioning cruise from Québec to Florida on the Serenade.

My friend and I watched the movie The Challengers at a movie theater along with maybe 8 other moviegoers. It is pitiful how few people go to the movies. Perhaps, it is because the movie was so bad . Too long , too many flashbacks and it was rated R. She is my former doubles tennis partner and it is about tennis . I would have left but she wanted to stay. No chance of staring at phones at our table . No phones , books or newspapers allowed.

Granted , I agree with you. I’ve been to all of the places mentioned except the three between Rome and Paris. We lived for 13 months 10 miles from Dachau . You’ve been warned , you’ll have to transport your luggage in some places, no A/c , no elevators and in one hotel a shared bathroom. Steves is known for his no frills travel . It is not for me but you and your wife are younger and more fit than me . I would definitely check out his hotels . We’ve been waiting since 7:30 am for the geek squad guy . We were to be his first stop today . Best Buy has no number for him and still looking. Bad service for $250 to install a TV.

I haven’t however my friend used his recommendations for hotels in Paris and London years ago. The Paris hotel was fine however when she arrived at the London hotel at 10:30 pm she decided she couldn’t stay there . I’ve heard him speak at numerous travel shows and he even asked to join me at my table for lunch . You probably know his travel philosophy and be prepared to pack light.

@bobmacliberty @HBE4 @dani negreanu Thank you for your help regarding TV’s . We bought a 55” LG at Costco . It will be installed tomorrow by a Best Buy geek squad guy. Hurray ! @Sea Dog My friend has the same issue with her son so certain topics are off the table however when she visited him at his home he showed up for dinner in a tee shirt that she found offensive. She and her daughter just left the room . He has been warned for their next visit in June. No reason for you to leave your friends and shorten your vacation because somebody can’t abide by the house rules .

You and I are alike in some ways . If something interests us we’re all in . Back in the day when my husband was working and pre-pandemic when shuttles were plentiful to some of the 8 casinos near my home , I thought , I would figure out how to beat the odds . I bought books , subscribed to Strictly Slots magazine and watched this guy Curtis on TV. Sadly, it didn’t work . I no longer put cash in the one arm bandit .

It has been discussed before at length however I can’t find it so any help here would be appreciated. I’m not looking for in depth replies just basic info of what to look for in buying a streaming TV. We are not into complicated technology and gaming . Just basic stuff. We’ve been watching our 36” not smart TV but have to switch because that is what Direct TV is using . Thank you .

@Jimbo I like your attitude. @cruiselvr04 I think it’s called Swedish death cleaning . My friend told me she was doing that . How morbid! @firefly333 My neighbors moved in and I never saw a truck . We don’t see them at all . Never ! We alerted our neighbors on our cul de sac that we were coming with a large moving van that took a day to unload. Allied had 5 men to load and only 2 to unload. We told them they needed more men which they got .
