  1. Magic marker could work for the positive result if you need a picture of the test for work. Though I wouldn't officially know about that method nor would I EVER recommend doing so😉
  2. Getting ready to disembark Prima. All of the main noted criticisms are valid, at full capacity in cold weather was way too crammed. We prefer getaway+. Aesthetics and cabin size for balcony in gen pop are great. Walking through buffet to get around on 17 is a hot mess. Overall good experience but will avoid this class in cold weather and until tweaks are made
  3. Got one in a regular balcony after asking steward. Coffee pods have been a blessing compared to dining room coffee
  4. On right now, haven't seen anything like this so far. Coming into Bergen
  5. The balcony is pretty good too. Seems better laid out than the suite. Shower is hot and good pressure. Don't seem to be able to figure out temp control or perhaps AI knows we should be warmer than we prefer.
  6. Yesterday's response took awhile to post so deleted. Hoping the shore quest is successful and we will see you when we get off at about 9:10 or so
  7. Sounds good! We get on early about 11:30-12. Hoping I've gotten the time change sorted out with an epic nap last night.
  8. Great pics! Makes me feel like we were there rather than watching our eyelids. Zzzzzzzzxx
  9. What in the heck! Not good at all. Very irritated to hear.
  10. This 100%. Lived many years where my visiting family (all high paid professionals) meant spending 2 months worth of all my disposable income. Not something they understood. Nor were they willing to visit. Even modest distributions would have helped greatly and allowed me to keep my pride by not asking for help. Which I wouldn't have done unless I was hungry.
  11. Merino wool is your friend if you are ok with doing a bit of self laundry. You can get at least 3 days of wear before needing a rinse. Some folks can go longer, but 3 is my limit. Good for both cool and hot weather
  12. My wife (the Admiral) really likes the Hexclad brand for pans
  13. Raincoat #1. Probably get by with a down puffy layer underneath for glaciers. Warm Hat#2. gloves, waterproof boots. Recommend merino wool base layers and socks. Alaska summer weather is like our mid-late spring down in Olympia. Could be 70s could be low 50's. But again, the merino wool
  14. Some of us seized the prepper opportunity to get things like a generator, etc etc. Spouses were more easily swayed😆
  15. 29 years in an 1100 SQ ft home, moving to 1503sq ft cross country. PODS 16 ft unit should take everything, but still downsizing
  16. Battalion commander and SGM fly separately for this reason as well
  17. Plan to bring my trimmers, but I like the bald look
  18. Can't help but think of the magic 8 ball being used to answer the question.
  19. Nuku Hiva was very good for the taivapai valley. Moorea motu picnic excellent and the Raiatea big canoe expedition top notch!
  20. Serve. I get it and after working in social services for 20 years could maybe make that call. Yup worked in public service. But my time in uniform was without limit as to hours worked, what I could eat, where I would go and what I would do. Didn't go home to my own bed, eat with my family and was on the hook for deployment anywhere. And I couldn't just quit, like I could from chasing deadbeat parents who cared nothing for their children. Oddly, that job took More from my soul than military service. And being a good citizen who pays taxes and supports society IS important. But it never left me with the face of a young soldier who got hit, or the sergeant who took the easy way out from his pain. Or my team sergeant crippled from a training accident. Or families broken from the strain. Or this loud ringing in the ears that never stops and a back aged too early. I'm ok with no OBC or recognition, but don't diminish what others do without knowing the path they walk.
  21. You may find the higher salt content will allow him to float. I normally sink like a rock but had no prob in FP inside reef areas
