I ended up making it to the BBQ pop up, and with a long wait in line, finally came away with some food... I planned on getting there a few minutes before opening, and the brewery itself was already mostly full of people. I had no idea how many of them intended on eating when the time began, and all the sudden, they opened the door to the food hall and everyone made a move for the door. I ended up being about 15 - 20 people back, but there were also a lot of "chat & cut" going on too. I finally made it to the front about twenty to thirty minutes later. They had a variety of stuff available, but I had been reading about some fish sauce flavored pork belly and their cumin lamb sausage... By the time I got back outside to my car, the entire parking lot was full beyond capacity. I decided to just drive back home to eat. 

 

The portions weren't the greatest for what it cost, but I can tell you that the fish sauce pork belly was a "death row" type of fish. As in, if you could have one "final" meal, what would it be?... It was that good, and all was forgiven for the small portion size... The lamb sausage was also a solid dish, though I wish they would have put more peppers and onions.

 

 

 

 

That pork belly sounds AMAZING

There goes the neighborhood...

 

 

 

These people are serious about their room service. 😂 

They sell that filthy bloody Mary mix on Amazon, Sid. $15/bottle and free prime shipping. 😊

Your pics are killing me. Just priced out a solo cabin for the fall. 😄

I am SO looking forward to this. Almost as excited as you are, I think. 😂 😂 

We have Mellow Mushroom here in Indy too. Ours goes heavy on the cheese, just how I like it.

I'm going to be staying in Miami a couple of days before our cruise in April.   I will be getting an employee discount on the hotel so it's only going to be $89 a night.  I am choosing between IHG Intercontinental and IHG Kimpton Epic.  Has anyone stayed at either one?  Thanks. 

I've stayed at the IC and loved it. Super nice with a bathroom the size of my living room. They also upgraded me (for free, and without requesting it) to water view, I woke up to the sight of ships!

I’m pretty sure it belongs to the restaurant.

I thought it was at his condo. Derp.

I’m backkkkkkkkkk

 

there was indeed a trip to Indy for the autonomous race Mr. Seattle was involved in, and a trip to Milwaukee. 
 

off to get caught up! 

You were in Indy? Shoot, I wish I'd known. I've just gotten to the point where I can safely sit in a bar stool. 😄 #goals

Hire a driver from Tours Plaza. They have a whole list of interesting spots - we've done a chocolate making tour, and one for tequila. They'll take you shopping or anywhere else you want. Lunch on the East Sidel. It varies by how long you want (rates are by the hour), I think we paid ~200 (plus tip) for four hours. We had the same driver both times, super nice and speaks English like he was born in Ohio. Highly recommended!

Alejandro Sosa - Scarface...

Am I the only idiot who thought it was Bond era Sean Connery?? 😂 

You're going to get a lot of... strenuous... feedback, but as long as your munchkin is reasonably cheerful and independent (no separation anxiety), and the excursion is relatively close /low risk of missing the ship, I think it's fine to leave her in camp. 

February Pride steakhouse just opened up Reservations this week. And I had to submit it three times because it wouldn't go through.

Based on their propensity to shift all weight onto one foot and then step on a b. O. O. B, I'd say the average housecats weighs approximately 300 pounds

Pre covid I liked to wander-shop and find a nice restaurant for (usually) a seafood lunch. I see no reason to change this strategy for the plague. 

What a phenomenoal day! physical therapy went great, finally seeing the first glimmers of hope since this nightmare started! 

Thanks for the prayers and kind thoughts, all!, I have high BP and popped a blood vessel in my brain (oops)I'm at an inpatient rehab center now. Therapists say I'm doing great and improving I thinkit still sucks a lot and I can't do a dang thing for nyself. Perspective, I guess... 

Sorry I've been awol for the last week. I had a stroke last

Friday (I'm 44!) and have been in the ICU. #JOY

Same! I just ran the numbers for my RU9 promo. It would cost us $318 each to upgrade to the RU9 offer. For our 5 day cruise, if we purchase Cheers before sailing our total cost would be $306.51 per person. So this deal doesn't pan out for us! 😞

Yep. It's even worse as a solo - you automatically pay for TWO "free" packages. 🙄

Unfortunately, they know I'm already on board with Cheers, so I got the "not at all a deal" RU9. 😅 Congratulations!

Breakfast is supposed to be included. They tried to charge us each $12 for a cup of coffee today. We had to get them to fix it.

 

 

I think that's the charge for a breakfast combo - "American Combo B." You still shouldn't have been charged at all, but at least they weren't trying to get you to pay twelve bucks for coffee! 

I love La Mission! Great choice!!

Cheers includes frozen mocktails, Bubbles does not.

Looks like guacamole. It does have avocado in it and some kind of juice for sure

I think I could enjoy avocado and tequila. But if onions / peppers / cilantro try to join the drink party, I'm out! 🤮 😂
