MrToblerone

Your trip to Las Vegas looked fun Kat.My Grandson would love those dolphin cookies.

You're looking well Melody ,the shoulder must be all healed 

I was just writing this and Cynthias post popped up !

Glad you are well Cynthia and enjoyed your cruise ,its been a tough year for you .

My husband and I have both been sick and sadly couldn't go to Bali ,I am still coughing after two weeks and two lots of antibiotics .

We have a weekend away to Queenstown soon which is in the South Island of New Zealand so hopefully the cough will be gone by then so we can do some nice walks etc.

Wow so many gorgeous balloons ,what a fun thing to see

Morning everyone .

Kat Im always researching my next vacation as well.The research is half the fun.

Melody ,Les sure is a trooper

We are on grandparent duties today ,very busy with a three year and 18 month old running around and both have colds which I hope we can avoid as we have a quick trip to Bali next week.

Today I'm wearing Lulu lemon black pants and my Vuori tshirt which I love.

That boot story made me laugh as well .

I went to work the other day and wore my boots as its still cold here and my heel fell off ! Lucky there is a shoe mender in the mall who glued it back on.

Melody I hope Les gets his eye 

sorted soon , the injection sounds awful.

I just had my eyes tested and my sight has actually improved, didnt expect that.

Have a great time Sherri ,Amsterdam is a great city.
The Anne Frank museum is very thought provoking ,we visited a few years ago .

Glad you are all enjoying the Olympics .

Im pleased you are feeling better Kat ,vertigo is awful .

It feels odd not having a holiday to look forward to, but Ive been working at the shop and it was busy today which is good as things have been very quiet in the shop,alot of shops are struggling over here at the moment as well as businesses

Welcome back Cynthia ,hopefully things have settled down for you.

We really enjoyed Azamara ,we knew that the bathrooms were going to be small and they were fine .The staff were all so nice and the food was just as good as on higher end cruise lines we have sailed on .They also stay in Ports a lot longer it seemed .We would definitely sail on them again.

Kat Im with you on crowds .

Melody your outfits have been nice and you are looking well after your surgery ,although I suppose its been a month or so now.

Enjoy the Olympics everyone ,if sport is your thing

We dont have moose or elk in NZ , that is so cool you live in an area where there is so much wildlife, Hows the squirrel?

Look after yourself in that heat.

Happy anniversary Sherri!

That Elk looks huge Kat and its baby is so cute ,I hope they are ok in the street ,not where they should be in the wild.

Lovely outfit Melody.

I hope your test results came back well Lois.

I also hope Cynthia is back home safely or still in Europe enjoying her holiday.

We have just enjoyed a cold few days at the lake and are back home ,work tomorrow .

All sounds very hot over there , Ive just boarded a plane to fly to Rotorua where it is zero celcius today , my husband has a fire going at our bach down there.

I hope Cynthia was able to go on her cruise after her sad lead up to it.

Enjoy that summer weather even though its too warm in some areas.

Looks like a great trip Lois !

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
