I covered our two weeks or so up the Amazon to Manaus on my 2019 WC thread. I am sure you can find it back there a page or twelve.

Yes but how many shots are really necessary? One every 6 months? I personally have not really felt 100% since the first two so am a bit hesitant to keep having it put in me. I am, as we all are, exposed to lots of stuff each day. No way to prevent everything.

Very sorry Arlona is experiencing the isolation. Three/four shots and people still test positive? Something wrong with this picture. Not sure what but it seems the vax is working about as well as an annual flu shot. Last year my PCP said the flu shot was about 15% effective. At least most positives are not sick. I sure have a large collection of chemicals in me for all the vaccines over the years. Hope they are all good things. Anyway hope y'all get home without any further difficulties.

Haha, this reminds me we have bought 5 new mattresses in the last 9 years. Trying to find a "good" one. Finally it dawned on me. They are all comfortable. It's the body thats uncomfortable at night. Heck, I used to sleep on couches or floors in College. Even in a bathtub one Spring Break. No problemo. Getting older is just full of surprises isn't it?🍸

It floats! As you say Andy, no mention of a follow on ship at this time, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiPy-japd33AhWrIkQIHePKBrgQFnoECAcQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgcaptain.com%2Fedison-chouest-floats-vikings-new-mississippi-river-cruise-ship%2F&usg=AOvVaw0jP3xUPcSmYU_D-tIhz9gg

Showing off for girlfriend on the shore.....

And you would think the new cases of covid contracted it during their travels to the ship. Yes, I know, airplanes are the "safest" places there are.....🥃

What was that old song? "If you can't spit with the one you love, spit with the one you're with"..😱

That's what you do with Verifly. Send them a picture on your phone of your vax card. Same risk of "missing something".

Ok, this Mars... https://apple.news/A9C5yv3CBNF2N_r_tQzp3gg

Jones Act covers cargo vessels so not likely.

Another reason to not want to fool with it....

Here she is. Needs a bit of touch up here and there but still SSBP included.....🥃

Best I can tell Verifly is a third party information collector. And you still need the hard copies of all this info at checkin. Not to mention you have already posted most of this info with Viking My Viking Journey. I am with you thinking Verifly is useless extra aggravation.

In addition to Andy's good advice, the coach ride down is very scenic as well. And the coach drops you off right at the ship. The train station is a short walk away.

Andy we have had an aft suite on an R Ship twice. Both times we had to take the glass off the dining table as it was vibrating off anyway. R ships have a better than average vibration problem. As to Viking we have been as far aft as you can go in the Restaurant when going near full speed and had no excessive vibration moments. R Ships, imho, are not a good design.

Haha, take HAL out of San Diego for Mexico and you will...😱
