Sea Dog

I’m told by Linda that it’s Zyrtec not Claritin that I take with Allegra. And I do take both of them at once every morning.

We've only done Nachi Cocum and Paradise Beach which are both non Royal. Loved Nachi Cocum. They limit the amount of guests so it is more quiet. Great place and great food. Only about a 10 minute cab ride.

I think we paid a little less. Maybe $167? Maya Key is great and it's right across the bay where the cruise ship docks.

Yes that was me. We booked it through Royal. It was call the "Turquoise Bay VIP Beach Break." It included lunch and free drinks. The location was beautiful and the area was very clean. We had loungers and there were waiters that would come around and take your drink orders. The food was excellent I cocktails were amazing and strong. There were even buckets of beers everywhere There were clean restrooms and musicians playing some great music that wasn't too loud just perfect. The bus ride is about 45 minutes to there but it was interesting to see the sites along the way. I highly recommend this excursion.

I hope you feel better Debbie. The change of seasons is always rough on me for allergies. I used to get bronchitis every year but now I take 2 different allergy meds, Claritin and Allegra and I haven’t had bronchitis in years.

Happy Anniversary Bethany and wishes for many more! Cheers to both of you. Sorry I'm late but happy belated birthday Maryann. I hope you had a great celebration. I also wonder if it is a photo illusion. She is standing more forward than Charles. Her crown may look larger only because it is closer to the camera than the Kings.

Looks gerat George! Enjoy.

That sounds wonderful !

I think what you did was wonderful. While I did not get up 3:30am to watch everything. I did watch live to see the exit from the church and the procession to the palace. It was quite moving. Congratulations to the new King and Queen.

Thank you @twangster for another fantastic review. Photography stellar as usual. I really enjoyed seeing how the locks work and their history. I think I have moved this cruise up on my preference list.

Yes they do and we love it even more. So nice to look out and finally see a green lawn.

Yes they are fully grown. Charlie weighs about 25 pounds and Lizzy weighs about 17. Since she was the runt of the litter. Vet does not think they will grow any bigger.

Good to see you! Love this shot.

@grapau27 Looks like your ready. Enjoy the Coronation. My Charles and Elizabeth give their warmest regards to the new King.

Now that’s what I call “Happy Birthday to me!”

@A&L_Ont Wish Owen Happy Birthday from Sea Dog! I hope you guys have a great celebration of a special milestone.

Sorry duplicate.

Thank you, you made my day. Thinking of Christmas puts me in my happy place. Only 234 days till Christmas!! I love these. I need to get a Hawaiian Santa.

I bet the fresh mint from your garden really makes this cocktail amazing.

Hanks saw the doc yesterday. Did x-rays on my back to see if my sciatica pain on my non surgical knee is from may back or arthritis in my knee. He thinks it’s from my knee. Too soon to get another synvisc injection so he gave me a steroid injection and my knee feels much better. Just trying to kick the can down the road and delay my second knee replacement.

Did you happen to try the “She’s a Geisha “ cocktail in Izumi? It’s really good.

Thanks for asking, I would make a Gregarita which is my own recipe. (1/2) Pro Bar Sweet & Sour Mix. This mix is the key. It’s incredible. https://www.probar.net/product.php?productID=80154 Makes 1 Gallon of mix. Add to Pro Bar Mix 1/2 pkg to a Gallon of water: 1 1/2 cup Tequila (Sauza Blanco), 1 cup Vodka (Svedka), 1/2 cup Gran Marnier, 1/4 cup Non Pulp Orange Juice, 1/2 cup Roses Lime Juice. Serve over ice with salted rim. Typically I use the Grand Marnier to rim the glass for the salt. For orange juice, I used Nature's Choice Non Pulp orange juice. Don't use concentrate frozen stuff. For a Mint Julip I make Woodford Reserves recipe since they are a major sponsor and I’m sure this is what is served at Churchhill Downs. INGREDIENTS 2 OZ. Straight Bourbon Whiskey ORDER ON DRIZLYORDER ON RESERVEBAR 1/2 OZ. Woodford Reserve® Mint Julep Cocktail Syrup 3 Fresh Mint Leaves – Crushed Ice INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 Express the essential oils in the mint and rub them inside the glass. STEP 2 To the same glass, add simple syrup, bourbon, and crushed ice. STEP 3 Stir. STEP 4 Garnish with more ice, fresh mint, and powdered sugar. For the coronation, Prince Charles likes Single Malt Scotch and Dry Gin Martinis which I’m not a big gin fan so I’m going with a single malt scotch. Probably the Aberlour 16 Year Old.

That's very disappointing. Bartender should have given you a double.

So Happy for you Bonnie that you had a great celebration.

Wow great pics. Looks you are having a blast. Maybe with your $300 dinner you can get unlimited bread sticks. 😉
