NHProud

You should . We rented a car in Halifax and drove around Cape Breton and then hired a driver for the Cabot Trail . We ended up in Sydney , returned the car at the airport , and flew home from there. It is a beautiful drive.

@Sea Dog You didn’t take into account you were on island time . Hilarious conversation between the two women . Great post with spectacular photos !

🙁

Weren’t you on my Pacific Coastal cruise Radiance of the Seas 9/29-10/7 Vancouver to San Diego ? If so you must really like the west coast or you must reside in southern CA because you did mention Temecula, once .

@Sea Dog Have an enjoyable 2nd day at sea with Linda ! My only comment about your editorial is that it is very well written. It should be forwarded to the decision makers in the loyalty program.

I’m happy for you that you had a better experience tonight. Kindness works wonders in getting good service. No shows for you and Linda ? Probably not because of your knees . I try to see every show . Have you seen Mo & Fran ? Congratulations to KC Chiefs 🏈 .

If I remember correctly didn’t you slip the Maître D a monetary “ gift “ to get better treatment on a previous cruise ? You should look into getting hearing aids to help with your hearing loss . We had to wait in line for 11/2 hrs to clear immigration in Seattle. Luckily, it was in the dining room so hubby could sit . Passengers around us were getting concerned about him . So , I understand your problem with long lines . KC is playing LA Chargers , today , and I want KC to win . How dare the Chargers move up the freeway to LA after 50 years in SD ? All about the money of course and new stadium.

Umm , I was looking for a way to phrase there’s too much stuff hanging from the ceiling. My hubby uses a CPAP and he basically runs the cord along the baseboard.

Our ladies club had lunch at their Château Élysée in Hollywood with the understanding they were not to mention Scientology to us . They tried to sell us some books. We complained. They have this huge facility in Hemet , CA which they use for teaching. It is surrounded by a very high wall . Your chance of leaving from there might be iffy . I’d try to flee Hemet in general.

@Sea Dog Happy Anniversary to you and Linda 🌹 Another scholarly and well put together review . Thank you for doing this !

Corrected Linda’s name . My iPhone is very small. Have a great cruise and relax . Don’t try to do too much . It’s supposed to be a vacation. I dislike packing and unpacking. No fun !

Looking forward to your artful and informative report . Happy cruising to you and Linda .

I thought you might recognize it but out of context maybe not . I hope you had an enjoyable evening.

Next time , we’ll make it to the Breka bakery. The closest we came this time was in the elevator at the hotel . The man carrying a large Breka box would not share . I liked Vancouver and the residents are friendly.

Beautiful photos ! My photo is of the Sheraton Wall Center hotel on Burrard across the street from St Paul’s hospital. We were in the south tower .

@Tree_skier So , where was I ?

You might want to consider Shutters on the Beach for happy hour drinks and nibbles . They have a room available at $ 1, 054.00 for the night . Schwarzenegger used to own a restaurant on 3rd St promenade. Must have sold it , don’t know ?

Wow Dani , we are worried about you , your DH and your son . Flights to Tel Aviv suspended as Hamas targets the area according to CNN . I hope this info is incorrect. You are in our prayers .

Yes , I noticed the change in the name . I’m so pedestrian that I used my vouchers on Diet Coke .

I’m sure you will find something to eat to your liking . You and we are newly minted diamond members so our first experience in this exclusive club we enter this small area jammed with ugly purple chairs and tables . My husband renamed it the rhinestone club only to find it quite attractive in the evenings when they opened it up . Seriously get a wheelchair assist when possible. His knees only bothered him in the theater because he is 6’2” . We were upgraded to first class on AA so no problem there and upgraded at the hotel in Vancouver. Lucky us !

I’m happy to learn you are doing better . We got off the Radiance today after an 8 day cruise from Vancouver to San Diego. My husband requested a wheelchair in Vancouver and he is glad he did. It saved him a lot of walking. If you’ve never been to a port you don’t know how far you have to walk. Good luck with your knee replacement. I see you are doing what I did to plan our 3 purchased meals only I picked Chops , Izumi and Samba which were excellent on Radiance . I’m not a fussy eater however I noticed what was served in WJ to be repetitive. I commented to a woman that the desserts were monotonous and she replied she was okay with it because she didn’t have to cook . It’s all on a person’s perspective. Wishing you and Linda a great cruise.

A thread of his followers is still on cc but mostly inactive.

Sorry you are experiencing this pain. I’m on a cruise and presently off the coast of CA and this is as far as I’ve read . I had a 9 mm calcium oxalate stone which was removed by lithotripsy. I had one painful episode before that . My urologist suggested drinking 1/2 cup of lemon juice diluted to one quart. Lemon juice is acidic and calcium oxalate is basic . I use crystal light to sweeten it .

To all those observing, have an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur !
