If anyone remembers my team from Tribe Cruise 2024 for Family Fued… my teammate that had the scary doll obsession and answered “sweet cheeks” to the question about stripper/car names just asked me to be in her wedding next year. 
I think I’m busy. 

What!

I think I found @sid_9169’s soulmate in my cruise group. She wrote down all of the ships in port with us on loose leaf paper. College ruled. Multicolored click pen.

Well, if her chart is correct it looks like you’ll get to see Icon up close.

Shuttle driver noticed his bus was rolling. He jumped in and hit the gas instead of the brakes. Killed 1, injured 11 others. Bus pushed the group into a concrete barrier. 

Ugggg that’s awful…..

I just read a horror story of what happened with the Carnival Miracle and the cruise tour in Honolulu. Wow. Prayers and good thoughts going their way. Tragic. 

What happened?

I’ve been watching a travel blogger on the clock app all week. He’s currently on a 22 day Panama Canal cruise on HAL Nieuw Amsterdam and he’s live streaming the ship going through the locks today. It’s pretty cool.

Add me to the non covid club. Tested a few times, but never had it. 

Same here…..and I work in a pulmonary practice where infected people present themselves on a daily basis after testing positive for Covid. And then they ask us why we are still wearing masks 🤷‍♀️

Definitely abused.  Don't know what the solution is, but at the very least, I think the wheelchair assists on SWA should be last out, like other airlines do it.

Last on, last off if you ask me. Bet that would really cut down on the use of wheelchair assistance.

So true! 
Plus they need to take a page from Disney and update their disability boarding policy. 
 

“According to Disney, disability access has become the most widely requested service at the parks, with use more than tripling over the past five years.”

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2024/04/11/disney-disability-access-service-das/

 

A small population needs boarding assistance but a large number are taking advantage of it. On my last SWA flight 20 people pre boarded in wheelchairs and only about 3 waited for assistance to deplane. I think the solution is to provide them with boarding assistance but they have to wait for their A, B, or C number to be called. It will be a pain at first but will weed out the abuse. 
 

 

The last time I flew SW there were probably at least that many wheelchairs lined up for preboarding. I overheard one woman saying “I can walk” and her daughter came running from getting her Starbucks and said “no mom you need a wheelchair”.  In other words we need to board first without paying for an early place in line.  I do like SW but they need to do something about their boarding routine. I wouldn’t even mind paying for a reserved seat when flying them. It more than makes up for it with the two free checked bags.

I love Gregisms!!! 

I’m one of them that didn’t care about this but I admit was wrong. That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.

if you have the special glasses you can see it starting. They black out everything else

 

I had zero interest in the whole eclipse thing but my son gave me a pair of the glasses so I had to go out and look at it. It really is a pretty cool thing to observe. I hate to admit it 😂😂

I said I wasn’t going to fall into the “Eclipse Hype” but here I am with my neighborhood watching. I’m shocked the weather cleared. It’s a beautiful day in Cleveland. 

I’ve got a perfect view of it from my backyard

Do you know if they are like Southwest and price out the same for one way flights?

They do. I always book one way flights.  Last time I flew Southwest on the way to Miami and Spirit for the way home. Same price whether you book one way or RT.

There is also Spirit, but I personally would never fly them, but they do have nonstops

I’d fly and have flown Spirit before I’d step foot on a Frontier flight again.

I completely agree. I also feel like if you fly Frontier, you have to know what you are getting in to. They fly into OKC on Sundays and Thursdays. I’m always tempted to fly them and then I remember if I miss that flight or it gets canceled.., I’ll be SOL for 3-4 days. That always changes my mind. 

Frontier is hands down the worst of the worst of the budget airlines. And you are correct about cancelled flights and being rebooked 2-3 days later…..if there’s room on the next flight.  They don’t even pretend to give a 💩.  As far as the mom, she should’ve bought a seat for her 7 year old.

Technically "Cake by the Ocean" is by DNCE. I saw them in Vegas during a Billboards Awards show. The guitarist with DNCE JinJoo Lee is amazing. Maybe she will be with the Jonas Bros. 

I think the fact that I know this and I am 67 is pretty funny.

My daughter saw the JoBros in September. They sang it then.

Busy day here, but I’m packed up. I was invited by Carnival to attend the Houston Rodeo tomorrow. Jonas Brothers are performing. Should be a good time. Got my boots and hat ready. I’ll post pictures. 😁

I really like the Jonas Brothers.  Rodeo not so much 😂😂
