MrToblerone

Have a great trip Lois and Melody your trip looked fantastic. We arrived home yesterday to Winter .

Good advise Kat. There was alot of coughing at the end of our cruise , not us thankfully . We were very careful. We have two more nights in the UK , then a long way home!

Hi from Southhampton , we are just getting off the ship. We really enjoyed the cruise and were so lucky with the weather and sea , I hope Cynthia is here to get on. Kat the cowboy hats sound fun , no ine wears them in NZ

Hi from Guernsey on the Onward. Hopefully you have made it to Southhampton Cynthia for our arrival tomorrow. Glad to read you have finally recovered from your cough Lois , there are a few people with a nasty cough on board but we have managed to avoid it .

Cynthia Im so sorry to read about your fathers passing .Very sad times for you. My thoughts are with your family

Hi Lois ,If you do decide to come down this way for a cruise make sure it includes the South Island in New Zealand as that is the most beautiful part of our country and definitely worth seeing if you come all this way and are only going to do it once.

Sherri that is terrible about the grandchild ,there’s always one bad egg in every family. Cute dress Kat. We board the Azamara Onward tomorrow,I bid for an upgrade to a suite from our verandah but looks like it’s not happening 😞 Cynthia will be getting excited as we get off and she gets on ,small world we live in. We have loved being in Costa Brava for the last 11 nights. Lois I hope your cough is gone soon .

The coughs sound terrible ,hopefully none on our cruise on Sunday . I seem to catch everything nowadays. I hope those of you who are unwell get better soon especially as you head into Summer. Totally get it about the parents as well ,we also have these issues . We have just been to Cadeques ,it was a lovely little town where we had a nice lunch . The sardines were a bit tricky to eat but very tasty.We went to buy some more fish for dinner at the shop but it closed from 1.30 pm until 6.30 pm ,we are gradually getting used to the Siestas they have here.

I also get my eyes tested every year for pressure which was high ,but thankful it has settled down. We are enjoying Costa Brava before our cruise ,it is starting to warm up here so we were able to swim in the ocean yesterday which was exhilarating .Still not many tourists .

Hello from Barcelona,it is a lovely temperature and not crowded like last August . I feel much better today as felt terrible yesterday after the 30 hours of travelling and jet lag .We went to a casual restaurant last night called Alfonso ,we’ve been before but this time there was a queue outside,we waited and had some nice tapas and the tomato bread . We were going to go to Monteresat today before we drive to Costa Brava but decided to have a restful day. I hope those who are traveling are enjoying their time. Ive never added a photo so thought I would see if it works.

Aloha and have a great holiday with your family Melody .Hawaii has something for everyone

I am on the flight to Barcelona with 5 hours to go . So far from new zealand . i have booked a tapas bar called Tapeo which sounds good . We land in Barcelona at 9am and really hoping the hotel will be able to give us an early check in after 24 hours traveling, we were lucky to have a shower in Singapore , makes a huge difference You implant reminds me of when I went to the dentist in Barcelona with pain before covid , it all looked very fancy. The dentist said nothing showed but when i got home i was told my tooth was cracked and now beyond repair and had to get an implant!

Wow Cynthia three procedures ! You must be in pain with all that going on in your mouth. Change of subject any Barcelona restaurant recommendations ? I am not sure if we need to book or just turn up at places

The camping sounds fun we never camped when was young.Would love yto go to Yellowstone oneday. Lois you sound organised ,we leave tomorrow for our month in Spain ,ending with our first Azamara cruise in South Hampton when Cynthia gets on ! I am packing and will now go and re look as I have a lot of clothes! I am fighting off a head cold which is annoying ,at least its not covid

Has anyone been successful lately? It sounds like everyone is getting the email regardless of how full the cruise is.

Great so you can find other dates and work around Hawaii hopefully

Woops selected, I should proof read

Melody poor Les and you. Do you have to cancel pre planned holidays in the USA if you are sekected to be on a jury?

Im prepared for the small bathroom , the itinerary is what we were sold on in our dates , we wanted to see more of Spain. We have two weeks prior on the Eastern side exploring. Your itinerary also looks really interesting

Kat that squirrel sounds so cute , loved the one we saw on our deck in Whistler Cynthia that is where and when we finish on the Onward ! We start in Barcelona ,Valencia,Alicante,Malaga,Lisbon,Porto. La Coruna, Guernsey then South Hampton. I know you gave sailed on Azamara but have you been on the Onward? We have bid for an upgrade but probably wont happen as it looks almost full. Are you going solo? We have booked a air bnb after near Hampton court and yesterday we booked Hever Castle where Anne Boylyn was a child, love the history

Welcome back Cynthia, sounds like a great holiday although it was wet some of the time. Are you on the Azamara from South Hampton , we end our cruise there late June , will wave as we get off !

Well done on your progress Melody ,Hawaii is a good motivator. Lois great you now hopefully what foods to avoid now . Im just about to go for my walk and my daughter and husband are trying to assemble a trampoline , doesn't look as easy as it should be! I have started to look at things to take away and cannot mind my EarPods ! Find my EarPods is not helping ,sad

Hi from NZ ,its getting cooler here . Ive been living in my vuori clothes I got in LA since I got back, they are so comfortable ,we don't have vuori in NZ yet only Lululemon. Sorry to read your cough is lingering Kat. I think we head off at the same time Lois .We fly to Singapore ,then Barcelona after a two hour layover ,about 24 hours flying !

Las Vegas sounds interesting , i was thinking the same about that sandwich as well Lois, so clever.What a meal ! Melody I hope things improve slowly .

Melody its so good you are now on the road to recovery ,what a relief to finally have had the surgery done.Hope les is ok. Looking forward to hearing about Las Vegas Kat.
