Checking in early!

Those of us on this year's Voyage of the Vikings were notified yesterday of some port changes. Bergen has been replaced with Lerwick, Shetland Islands, and Dublin changed to Sornoway, Isle of Lewis. Remarkably little grumbling about the changes since very few have been to either of the new ports. I'm pleased, too! Have any other Dailyites had the experience of being happier with a revised itinerary than the original? Have a good day, friends! Edi

That's it for me! Thanks Leanne! I hope you found someplace to hide; if not, have a safe trip home!

Hi Sharon! She left a little after 3:00. See post #2 from someone onboard.

Eight good toots!

And there is the Rotterdam, even though the map says she hasn't moved!!

Hope to be here for the sailaways!

Checking in.

I did, too. Never received the gift of gab, though! Or any germs...

There didn't seem to be a lot of noise from the shore, either. No HAL flag!

Thank you, Leeann et al! See you tomorrow!

Checking in! Goodbye toots?

Many thanks to everyone that keeps this delightful thread going! Prayers raised for all who need them and cheers for those who are celebrating and/or heading out on a BHB. I won't get my turn until July... Today was interesting -- I retired on May 1, 2014 after 41 years but sadly my DMIL died on April 30. I went into the office on May 1 and just threw stuff into boxes, just to get cleared out. Since then the boxes have sat in my home office untouched. I decided that today was the day! My goodness, what a blast from the past! All my official performance reviews (of course I was always outstanding - not!), pictures and all sorts of memories. There's been enough separation that I can throw most of it away, now, without regret. And I have more space in the office now!!! I'm not done yet -- to be continued! E.

OK, that carousel has me reconsidering RCL!!

Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit. Up early this morning to prepare refreshments for today's Bible class. Today would have been DH's 72nd birthday, so DS & I will honor him tonight at his favorite restaurant and share good memories. Prayers for all who need them, especially Roy. Cheers for all who are celebrating! Edi

Thank you Leanne! Hope to be back here tomorrow.

Hi Jacqui @kazu! I have a change to make for the July 22, 2023 35-day Voyage of the Vikings on the Zuiderdam. I'll be traveling solo - dsis changed her mind about going. Also, like many others, I've booked the June 9, 2024 28-day Ultimate Alaska voyage on the Westerdam. It's an itinerary my late DH would have adored and I'm very excited about! Please remove me from the first segment of the 2024 GWV on the Zuiderdam - can't do both!! Thank you!

Checking in!

Departure toots?

Checking in -- glad to be on time for a change!

Pokey Pilot

We bought a genuine fake Rolex there for our son as a gag gift many years ago. It still works!!

I salute all who manage to keep their New Year's resolutions. This was going to be a Dry January, but DS had his first meeting with a nutritionist last week - a very good thing! She gave him a number of recipes for the week, and we went shopping for all the ingredients on Sunday evening. Last night he cooked the first meal, with me supervising. Suffice it to say that Dry January has become "Damp January!" 😉

Jacqui @kazu - Cheers to you for the grit you've shown throughout this ordeal! Now prayers that you get the proper care when you get home, so you can heal & move forward, wherever that takes you. Edi
