Good morning and thanks all! Prayers for all concerns large and small! @ger_77 yikes, hope they straighten around your flights, there have been so many cancellations but I’m sure they’ll find you something good! @kazu yikes on computer issues! @marshhawk on the seniors and drugs! great minds, lol! You have picked a good area for Rome, we like the Centro storico too. I think the key to pizza is how thin the crust is. Perhaps Sabine has gone shore side, best wishes to such a nice lady. we are continuing to enjoy a long warm fall, days 20 plus Celsius- 102 replies

@kazu and anyone else interested, Nexus really helps when leaving or coming back to Canada even from Europe. Shorter line for security too. We often fly business too, but have still found it worthwhile. You can use the machines instead of waiting in line, the only problem right now is the interview process. -
PCC relationship-building thoughts?
bennybear replied to fieldsofclover's topic in Holland America Line
I’ve booked through TAs and directly. I have a lot of travel experience and need little help, but I’ve found in the past couple of years having a large TA in my corner to go to bat for me has paid off in way more than just the hundreds of dollars of rebates we’ve gotten. so something to consider if things go sideways. -

Good morning and thanks all! The drinks and dinner sound great! Bora Bora is a star crossed port for us, we’ve booked three times and Patrick twice but no joy, from ship cancellations, Zika fever and Covid we’re not sure we’ll ever get there! But so nice to see all the photos, Sandi, your bathing suit blends with the water! @kazu glad you got your SUV fixed and they didn’t charge. I went through similar with one of our SUVs just after warranty, and it cost thousands! I’ve since switched to a very reliable brand and since 2007 have done nothing other than regular maintenance on the last two. I’m so glad you have another cruise booked. Do you have nexus? That helps but they are currently two years behind for renewals. @RedneckBoblove the spinners, we see them in Hawaii as well! They’re like ballerinas how they twirl!- 85 replies

Good morning and thanks all! That dinner looks interesting and the drink! My uncle was in the US navy so I will salute that too. So tragic the number of law enforcement deaths, so senseless. Wee’ve been to Malaga years ago, so enjoying others photos. We visited Puerto Banus and the King and Queen of Spain were on board a yacht twin to the Christina, It was very impressive and a little scary with machine gun armed guards on the roofs. @kazu glorious hydrangea’s, I have hydrangea envy. I only have a couple. @Vict0riann so sad the drought, we saw videos of those poor salmon.- 83 replies

Happy Thanksgiving weekend. We are blessed with over 70 degree weather and sunshine. But the flocks of Sandhill cranes and geese are heading south. DSIL will deep fry a Turkey today and then tomorrow we will close up theRV. Hoping for some more Aurora- 93 replies

Enjoying tagging along. If you have time take the local bus to Tarquinia. The museum is truly amazing. I think you catch the bus by the church. It’s only about half an hour away.

Good day. A few photos of Vladivostok. BBC was reporting with photos of the Westerdam in the background as the leader of North Korea was arriving at the train station the next day. A beautiful bridge but crumbling infrastructure. We visited the green submarine 57C2013F-CC66-427B-9D9C-572C802515E0.MOV- 89 replies
