What does the CL stand for and Er?

I have them but haven't used them. What's weird is that they do not swell up when I fly to the cruise port. The swelling occurs after several days of eating and drinking and then swell worse on the flight home.

Beautiful kitty. Remind me again what medicine you got prescribed to help with this? I will be very interested to hear how it works for you. Keep me updated please.

Settling back into home life after a fun trip to Hilton Head Island. One thing I am a little concerned with is that my ankles and feet swelled up on me like they do on a cruise. So a land based vacation and a cruise based vacation causes the same thing to happen. The two things have two things in common, lot's of good food and drinking alcohol everyday. I am concerned that something might be going wrong with my kidney's or liver or maybe it's just my prostrate not letting me go to the bathroom enough. Either way I need to get this figured out.

Glad you didn’t have any damage. Must have been scary that it was that close.

Winner!!

Loving your incredible pictures Helen. I so much want to do this cruise. Have a great time and say hi to Marty from me.

Sounds wonderful. I like how they do the buffet with no self serve.

So sorry for your loss. Sounds like a wonderful celebration of life.

Didn’t even think about it. Probably should have.

Last day Shenanigans at Hilton Head. We decided to just hang out at the VRBO house and cook a wonderful dinner. We have some decent cooks in this group. So we decided to do a low country boil with shrimp, corn, sausage and potatoes and then I grilled my popular filets with a special marinade that I do. The meal turned out fantastic and was way cheaper than going to restaurant. Today is a travel day so back home I go. Great trip with some life long friends that even though we have our differences we proved that a group of people who have different beliefs can get along. Thanks for all the support. I’m glad I made the trip.

I put it on a payment plan. Should be able to pay it off in 100 years.😆

Bon Voyage! Excited to hear all about this cruise. Looks wonderful!

I thought about not adding the pickles but ended up putting them on and I liked it. Yes it helped by everyone knowing that we had some ground rules. Good for you. Mystic was the favorite right?

Day 4 Hilton Head Shenanigans Visited Harbor Town with its wonder shops. My yacht is here. Later Dave arranged for us to take a afternoon cruise on a double decker catamaran. Saw a lot of dolphins but did not get any good pictures of them. Very enjoyable cruise. Dinner at Captain Woody’s who is owned by a University of Kentucky alum who has a big get together of UK people to watch the Kentucky Derby. The place was packed. The highlight that this restaurant is known for is their “Grouper Melt.” This was the best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. Everyone who got it raved about it. It had grouper, grilled onions, mushrooms and cheese. If you ever come down to Hilton Head you must try this sandwich. 10 out 10 stars.

Day 2 shenanigans in Hilton Head Breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe. Crab cake Benedict. Amazing. Time to walk it off. To the beach we go. A short 20 minute walk. Dinner at the Salty Dog to watch my best friend Dave play. Oysters. Very tiny and ok. Grilled Mahi Mahi that was good but a little dry. The gang enjoyed the music. Another classmate who lives in the area. Lenny who is retired Navy. Worked in Trident nuclear submarines. My next door neighbors who I have known for over 60 years. Steve and Mary. All in all a good day. My one classmate that I was worried about said a few stupid things trying to push my buttons and I just rolled my eyes. He later apologized. Fair enough.

I actually did pretty good but I needed to be careful not to scuff anything. Sat in butt first then lifted each leg in one at a time. I must have looked like a crippled man 😀

Day one shenanigans in Hilton Head island with my High school friends. My Uber driver, Steve who lived next door to me and was of closest friends growing up. Stopped by the Salty Dog to see my life long best friend and best man of my wedding, the ultra talented Dave Kemmerly play his last set. Our VRB0. Wow what a house. Some provisions Not enough alcohol Dinner at Red Fish. Excellent seafood. The gang. Scallops with lobster Mac n cheese. IMG_4367.mov The piano player was a good friend of Dave’s so he had him play for us. All in all a great start. More fun today. Stay tuned.

Great advice. In the air now should arrive in Savannah in an hour and half. Hopefully everyone will behave. Lol, yes I will be tempted. We are going on a sunset cruise on Saturday night does that count as a cruise?

Have a great cruise!

I hope a dash through the airport doesn’t happen with my knees. Wish I was getting on a ship.

Well sitting on the tarmac waiting for a storm to blow through good thing I have a 3 hour layover in Baltimore.

Thank you for sharing this story with us.

What a great idea. I am totally going to do this for Jonathan.

Love this. What a great video.
